I got an NTense LevRG recently to help fill a void in my heavy/long oil aresenal which got me thinking about adjusting the surface of my LevRG.
I had always struggled in the mud with my LevRG at 1000 grit and on a house shot it was very over/under. It read very early, and was very strong arc (roll) off the breakpoint. This ball is definitely the best carrying ball I've ever thrown but it's difficult to hold a line because of how strong the cover/core is. So I decided to throw some powerhouse polish on it.
I gave it some shine and OOB on a second shift house shot threw 289, 204, 214. I left a weak 7 pin in the 11th of my first game.
The shine took the edge off the ball and gave me an easy 5-10 feet of extra length. This allowed me to play the same part of the lane for almost 2 full games before having to move 3-4 boards.
I'm going to try it on my first shift house shot tomorrow night but I imagine it'll work even better because I still had 4 boards of room to the right at start of the second shift shot.
If you have something else for long and strong oil, I recommend trying some polish on your levRG. It's not nearly as strong off the dry as the Nsane and doesn't have the angular hook that the Mojave can have when it breaks down. Just thought I'd share for anyone looking to place this in their arsenal.
