I polished my BuzzBomb with secret sauce.  It gives me more length with a sharper movement on the back.  When it wasn't polished, I got more of a roll arc reaction.

Soon as I get some money together, I'll be purchasing some of Beans Sauce.  While I was at Nationals Beans polished up 2 of my balls, and I love'm even more now.  And for me the BuzzBomb needs polished big time.

I threw my BuzzBomb OOB for exactly 5 frames of practice. The ball rolled hard in the midlane just like it was supposed to but the backend was not there...at all.

So I figured why not try polishing it, maybe it's burning up.

Into the shop, cleaned the ball with Clean N Dull and a quick wipe down with alcohol to make sure the cover was dried off.

First step was a light coat of clean n sheen with light pressure. It gave the ball ahazy sheen. Then a quick spray down with water and I put the pressure to the rag and the ball. What came out was not quite a marble but it was glossed up quite well.

Back out to the lanes and what a difference!!!! The ball went 3-4 feet longer and wow!!! There was a backend move! Guess the ball was burning up pretty bad even on our house shot with the 60 units in the heads and teens at 10 38 feet downlane.

The ball needs oil in the box finish...plain and simple. Try a little polish if you don't have soup to bowl on.
