This polish is MUST-TRY!!

[@addictedTobowling]

I recently used Power Edge on my Attention Star and Lightning Blackout and love the ball shape. Shot my first 700 series in sanctioned league. I usually polish my ball on the spinner till the ball gets close to hot.

[@CasualGamerPlays]

Thanks for showing us your sanding and polishing process. I used the Polish Your Ball system, which uses a power drill, along with using the Creating The Difference sanding pads. Those pads cut a little bit deeper and give you a real 500 and 1000 finish in my opinion. I will try your method of using a lower speed and stay with a higher speed for polishing. Two things: 1.water helps when applying Power Edge Polish due to the thickness and it cleans the ball while polishing. When i used the polish without water, the towel gripped the ball too much. 2. Also, I see you used 30 seconds with the Power Edge Polish. Storm's new resurfacing guide that includes the Power Edge resurfacing information, they say to use apply the polish with high pressure for 15 seconds. Why did you use 30 seconds on high speed?

[@BeefandBarnzy]

@@CasualGamerPlays because I didn’t use any water I felt like it needed a little more time to achieve the result I was looking for

[@gregcochennet385]

Good video. I ordered some of this polish and received it yesterday. I put it on 3 shiny balls I just used a wet 2000 pad first. They all are real shiny and have good backend. I also put it on a Mesmerize because the house I bowl in doesn’t have enough oil for me to use this ball. I haven’t got to try it yet but I will tomorrow. Hopefully it will allow the ball to push far enough down the lane for me to use. I really like the polish.

[@shanehelm1570]

Thank you for making this video. Greatly appreciated

[@RobBeilfus]

Thank you for the recommendation! I had my PSO use a Power Edge sample on my Zen Gold Label yesterday. Used it in game 3 of league shot a clean 233.

[@TeamZenBowling]

1 handed Lefty here. I hated reactagloss. I knocked the shine off my Eternity and Zen and just prefer to keep them lane shined. Power edge looks really good and im thinking of putting them on my Eternity and Zen and other pearls!

[@geoffnash3098]

Great review chris. Power edge is for me. I like the reaction you got from the idol. You always do a great job

[@paulconnell7575]

Nice video Chris, power edge polish definitely is better, the ball reaction was different in a good way like you said.

[@conniemilhollon7472]

Glad you showed what surface you used this was a big help

[@BeefandBarnzy]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@BooyaCS]

I scanned a new Attention Star (on the shelf) and a new Phaze AI (also on the shelf). The Attention Star scanned at 5000 and the Phaze AI scanned at 6000. So it seems they are using the "water" application at the factory to get to the 6000 surface. From what I have seen the reacta gloss is similar to Compound and the Power Edge is a far more shinier polish material

[@tylerrose1236]

If doing this to the ball would it be good to suggest having the oils baked before the power edge?

[@mhwchar1957]

Really want to see what this will do on a weaker ball like a Hustle Wine, or Burner Pearl. Need them to turn just a little harder. Am slower speed, but rev dominant. Thank you for showing the means for applying the edge. I do have a 2-speed spinner.

[@scottthomas6720]

LOVE YOUR REVIEWS YOURS ARE ALWAYS HELPFUL

[@markdeering5129]

I don’t really like reacta gloss. It kind of rounds out the backend when you tend to switch to pearl/polished equipment for extra length and/or angle. The new polish looks awesome!!!

[@DtKnize]

Good video Chris, new product looks interesting. I need to buy a spinner.

[@tomburkhart7921]

All I can say is this. Power Edge polish is definitely an excellent polish. I got it 2 days ago and used a 1000 grit ctd pad base with the polish on top. 20 sec 4 sides. The polish is better than reacta gloss

[@acecan6475]

New to the podcast thanks for showing the process and differences. Does it act like more like compound then a polish meaning is it more gritted then the reactive. Thanks for your input.

[@BeefandBarnzy]

@@acecan6475 a little different than both. No “slip agent” like polish but n ok grit like compound. To me better than both

[@acecan6475]

Thanks

[@nyx-mw]

Would be nice for future comparisons if you used Specto, so we could see good comparisons of the different lines and reactions off each line.

[@Steve-c8e]

What would be the difference between this and Vise Slip Agent.? How shots with the power Edge before reapplying?

[@ronaldvanengen1887]

Just curious if u applied the power edge polish to a Gem would it give u a reaction similar to exotic Gem And would love to see power edge on green idol cosmo!!❤🎉😊

[@BeefandBarnzy]

I think the covers on the gem and exotic are very different, in my experience applying any sort of shine to the gem didn't really make it even close to the exotic

[@corder_pounder]

Any advice, Chris, on how to properly resurface a ball? I know that you’ll never get the motion out of the box back but I’m trying to get it very similar especially on my Virtual every blackout?

[@adamabdelaziz4586]

For an asymmetrical pearl the Attention Star doesn’t have that hockey stick motion.

[@homerlex]

Wonder how Power Edge compares to Step 2 (which I have a bottle of still)

[@BigJim5754]

thanx

[@christopherpeace7542]

I was wondering what the sublime focus looked with polish..looks more usable than just 1st game.

[@randymelissabutton2159]

I use a lot less polish when I do my Balls at home, but if you only really do 2 sides then it is likely similar amount. I do 6 sides...I would say with the naked eye it looks like it is much better than Reacta Gloss, I was never a fan anyway.....

[@Gbuck426]

How long should you sand and polish if you have a 1-speed spinner?

[@BeefandBarnzy]

I think you should probably make it a little smoother underneath, maybe 1000 or 1500 then apply the polish. From what I have seen, if it doesnt seem shiny enough, continuing to polish for longer will be the best bet. all of this is always trial and error, the more you do it, the more feel you will get for what works for you and your spinner

[@Gbuck426]

@@BeefandBarnzy Thanks!

[@pebbleschan6085]

Can you test with a durometer before and after to see if it makes a hardness measurement difference?

[@BeefandBarnzy]

Dont have easy access to one, and we are done with that rabbit hole.

[@daryldettmer9160]

Can you use this method if you dont have a ball spinner and do it by hand ?

[@BeefandBarnzy]

I dont think it is very realistic to be able to polish any ball without a ball spinner and get any sort of desirable result.

[@daryldettmer9160]

@@BeefandBarnzy Ok thanks for your quick response and feedback ...

[@shanenorthrop1969]

Use a drill with a polishing pad?

[@garyrickard8918]

Reactagloss - rough edge - smooth edge - power edge ???? Storm needs to clarify where they all fit. At $44.95 a bottle the general bowling public could use a little more information. Like the video. Thanks

[@Stylebender1318]

Alex Hoskins said it in his video that Reacta Gloss factory surface replication on a spinner is 500 for 30 seconds, 2000 for 15 seconds, 4000 for 15 seconds, and then Reacta Gloss on top of that. But Power Edge you don't need to go 4000 for 15 seconds and still get 5000 reading? What is Reacta Gloss surface reading? Is it also 5000?

[@marym470]

Good question.

[@BeefandBarnzy]

@@Stylebender1318 on the idol pearl and focus I got 5500 readings

[@stefandieben1141]

How long will it last? Does it get thinner or go away when cleaning the ball after a few games with a ball cleaner?

[@BeefandBarnzy]

I have a few balls with over 20 games on them and have seen no need to re apply yet. But it is early days. Can be dependent on lane surface or how much oil is on the lanes also. more friction at your center, the more often you will have to re apply I would think

[@zackoakes6382]

When is it available

[@philliplagreco6453]

Can you basically do this to any ball? Even solids that come out at 2000

[@BeefandBarnzy]

Absolutely you can

[@pebbleschan6085]

The Poweredge improves my car’s fuel efficiency. 😂

[@brianlevandowski3167]

So no water on the pads when sanding ?

[@BeefandBarnzy]

That was a bold strategy for sure! Just adds a little bit more surface

[@b.r.fowler785]

Welp…Storm Products Inc. finally came up with a response to Brunswick’s Crown Factory Compound. And it seems to give the ball a bit more teeth. Color me impressed. Hi, Lynda!

How is it shilling? He literally showed us what the polish does. Beyond that it's up to the viewer to decide if it'll fit what they are looking for.
