The Phoenix will roll....the polish helps it start on the backend and continue through the pins.

The Phoenix was very sensative to surface adjustments.......you can try it at 1000 but put a polish over top of that grit. If it is still not what you are looking for (if you decide you want a sooner reaction) take it even lower, say 500 abralon and put polish over top it.

Confusion city here. I'm being told differently. I'm told that no matter what I sand a ball to (4000,2000,1000,500) that if I put polish on top of it, it nullifies whatever grit it was at. I didn't think that was true. Didn't make sense to me.

Haven't tried adjusting the surface on mine(yet) but my Tag Team partner is correct in describing underlying grits to a finish of a ball.
Polish does "not" nullify the underlying grit. The rougher the underlying grit is to the surface finish of a ball, the more it will still grab compared to a smoother grit. Hope this helps explain some...

Minor modification to Rick's statement, if I might:
'Polish does "not" nullify the underlying grit' as long as the polish you use is one with no abrasive in it like Track's Magic Shine(, or Legends Factory Finish polish or Brunswick's High Gloss polish). If you polishes with abrasives in it like Storm's Xtra Shine, it will affect and change the underlying resin's sanded base coat.
I assume, in this case, everyone is using Track's Magic Shine. Then you're safe.

Thank you Charlest, good point. However, how much do you feel that a "grit" polish" can alter a 220 underlying finish vs a 1200 finish before application of a grit polish? The very rough underlying grit I've seen still holds a fair amount of it's original property because is much rougher to begin with. Are you referring to the smoother finishes and then applying "grit" polish over that?

I just got done using some PH factory polish on My Phoenix. I won't use it until Thursday, so we'll see what happens.

but then i put very little revs on the ball so that might have something to do with it not getting into its roll as quick as most others

There is no comparison in my opinion in the Big Shot and the Phoenix. The BS is much more ball and hooks more out of box.
