I don't usually post results but here it goes.
Polished mine. Not as much pop as extreme but it didn't deflect either. I actually threw a couple of messengers Tuesday night in league. Haven't had a lot of messengers for awhile until drilled the 3 balls I have now. BD, XD, Solid (I didn't drill anything until November).
It's a good ball and I didn't need to change balls for the whole 3 games. That was nice and the ball got stronger as the night went on.
I'm liking this ball!!! Now with these 3 balls I have a complete aresenal. Each one of them do exactly what I designed them to do. Easily manage the coverstock to match your condition and hit hard in the back. Everyone can use these balls!!
