Has anyone tried to experiment with the 916AT with polish? I was going to try that this evening and wanted to see how everyone else liked or disliked it with the polish.

I had to try it since our shot is a medium dry shot that pushes down after the 6th frame in the first game.

 

I took it to 4000 grit and really put my elbow into the polish. It worked great.

 

I can play right down 10 for the first game then move inside to 15-8 for the rest of the night. It doesn't snap like a normal angular would, but it really smoothed it out for me. And it still carries pretty good.

 

Give it a shot- it'll work.

With polish this ball will really get down lane. If you have the right axis rotation you can see if get very angular. It still becomes more of an A motion with polish but an Axis rotation of like 60* or more really helps it read the friction and turn. I found myself liking the 916 more dull then polish. When dull I found it to be alot more readable on more conditions and more usable as well. However I know a few guys who are in love with it after they shinned it to help it get down lane more. Give it a shot, just be sure to use your favorite polish.
