I put a light Polish on my V2 Power and I shot great with it last night. I had an outstanding ball reaction all night.

I say the Big Time due to the core. Yes both the big time and the Xcel particle can flip, but i think due to the weight block in the Big Time you should go that way since thats how it was designed

I love my big time, it is definitely flippy, but I have a dull polish on it and it is not the ball I throw for heavy oil.

I've realised the difference of the core between V2 Power and Strong/R.. Strong/R would be a better flip ball if I shined it up because of the pancake sized flipblock ?

The V2 Power is a Flip ball. I play the outside line also.

Okay, how did you drilled the ball and shined it up..

I have more speed than revs, and I read reviews on Big time that it's a ball that i should find .. lols

Exactly how mine is Drilled I really couldn't say? It's drilled Strong I know that and it's drilled to go long and then Flip which is exactly what it does. I had a light coat of Polish put on before I bowled the other night and the ball reacted great. I'm going to keep it Polished from now on. Hope this helps.

Not at all, I bought my BT Sanded the week it came out and have put a solid 80 games on it and still reacts the same for me. I got the BT Pearl the week that came out and still no problems, but it doesnt have nearly as many games as the Sanded.

Oh, thank you guys. now my doubts are cleared.

for particle balls, usually I see a change of reaction about 200 or so, but for BT, and the comments provided, i think i'm quite sure that this ball would last long enough for me before I get another ball!
