I purchased an Anger about a month ago based on alot of good comments on this site. I struggled with controlling this ball for about a month, if I was slow on speed, ball would check up real early on me. A little to firm and ball had an inconsistant break. Anyway, last Friday before selling the ball I decided to put a little polish on this guy. I hit it with a little delayed reaction on the old ball spinner and, WOW!!!!! This ball is an absolute monster now, 743 Saturday and a 703 last night. Ball doesn't seem to be as speed sensitive now and the polish has given the ball a more consistant move to the pocket. If anyone else is having issues, I would suggest hitting this guy with a little polish. First ball out of the bag now.

Sweet, I might try that on my Anger.

I am also having trouble finding a consistent breakpoint into the pocket.

How much polish did you use? And what kind?

Track Delayed Reaction polish. I would say a light coat, I hit all 6 sides of the ball.

what kind of prep would you recommend for heavier oil on the Anger? I bowl on Scorpion tonight so i want to make sure the ball is still reacting strong in oil. Any surface suggestions?

I think alot of that surface prep depends on your speed, my main reason for hitting the Anger with a little polish was to me it looked like alot of the times the ball burnt up before it ever hit the dry boards, by polishing the ball, it conserves the energy to the dry and then, left turn

For me, my problem is the ball starts to read the lane too early. That causes me to throw the ball a bit harder down the lane. My revs also contribute to this issue.

this is the problem i first had, i took it in, had it polished, and the thing is a beast now. before it was burning up before it got to the arrows, that problem was solved.

Hit it with polish, the problem your having was my big issue prior to the polish. One thing I'm really starting to learn in the last few months is that even in heavier oil, it takes a little polish to get to the dry and conserve the ball energy

This post further proves that you need to match the coverstock with the lane conditions. In it's box finish this ball needs a good amount of oil to work effectivly. With the ball checking up too early or being so inconsistant at the break tells me you didn't have enough oil for the ball to work properly in it's box surface grit.

I bet your glad you didn't get rid of the ball? Great shooting!

I recently polished my Anger, but it is still too strong for my THS. I could use it if I really wanted to, but I'd have to play deep inside, which is not my best shot. This ball is great on a heavier oil pattern, and will keep the polish on until I bowl my PBA Experience League over the summer.

Chitown, really glad I didn't get rid of it. I think a big mistake people make and I was guilty of it for a long time is the thought that a dull ball works better in oily conditions. I've had several solids that I bought for the heavier oil conditions and was very unhappy with the reaction, they never turned to the pocket. I really figured this out Friday night in league, I was throwing a Hammer No Mercy and was having trouble getting back to the pocket, (I know hard to believe, it looked like it was burning up prior to the dry) so I figured what the heck, I grabbed my Red Vibe and threw the same line, I was shocked when it shredded the pocket. Bowling is all about learning lessons!!!

I think a lot of bowlers make the above mistake. This is the same reason why I always roll my polished Blue Vibe first to test the lanes. If the polished Blue Vibe is skating too long then I know there's a decent amount of oil out there. If the BV is really strong then I know the oil is not very heavy.

If a bowler tests the lanes with a strong solid reactive ball, it may be hard to tell if it's burning up. On a heavy oil pattern there's no chance your Red Vibe would ever touch the NO MERCY in hook power. With your Red Vibe hooking strong and your No Mercy not hooking enough just shows you there's not enough oil for your No Mercy to be really effective.

I also seem to learn something new everytime I bowl.

Just keep in mind that coverstock is king! It's all about matching the coverstock to the condition for the best look and carry.
