tbub36tit,
Virtually every ball I've ever tried this with (polishing the sanded version) will save its energy for the backend and anything the sanded version uses to start hooking in the midlane, will transfer that energy to hook at the backend. Some become uncontrollably flippy. A few retain their breakpoint shape.
If you want a similar hook shape, you really do have to change at least 2 of the 3 drilling factors, pin distance, Val and Drill angle. I'd suggest at least a higher VAL angle to reduce the snap and either a shorter pin distance to reduce the flare or a smaller Drill angle to decrease the length.

Well its symmetrical so drilling angle is meaningless. But are you thinking like a 60*x2.5"x50* polished then???

Sorry, I forgot it was symmetric. ALl of 900Global's premium balls had been asymmtric.
Since it is symmetric, a longer pin-PAP woudl result in less flare and go longer, vs an asymmetric's shorter pin and larger Drill angle.
I don't know how your original was drilled.but I'm not a driller. You should really consult with your driller about the adjust to make to reduce extreme flippiness in a polished version of this ball. It's much easier and probably more accurate for him to do it since he is or can watch you bowl.

I just drilled mine up.
Threw some Storm step 1 polish on it first.
Ball seemed to fuzzy out of the box.
Granted I only have 6 shots on the ball.
All I can say is WOW.
This ball comes off the pattern and makes its move to the pocket.
Definitely will be interesting to see it on some decent oil.
Almost all things are better when they come from Texas.Except maybe the USBC. LOL

Mine is polished, too much dull for me outta the box, I went over the OOB with some liquid rubbing compound (my favorite polish), got it nice and shiny, great ball. jime

Here are pictures of my Trains. The one on the left is the polished one. The OOB one on the right has about 12 games on it and as you can see has a little lane shine.

Can anyone compare the ball motion to anything else in the global.or amf lines?

Really had my first opportunity to use my Train this past weekend in Wichita at the Southwest Tournament. I had adjusted mine to the A surface based on reaction in my home center from some practice and limited league use. In team I changed to the Train late in the first game but begin to find a groove with it by the third game. Enough I started with it in Doubles and opened the day up with a 289. While the shot was changing pretty quick since we were on overlaid leftovers still stayed consistent with a 216 &210 to finish but made a bad shot late in each game. Had to change to a T surfaced Bank Roll the next set since by then we were playing deeper and I needed a cleaner look through the mid lane. I drilled my Train with the pin at about 4 1/2" from PAP, just above and to the right of my ring finger and CG at 4". This is a drill I haven't used in a while but have had great results in tourments with in the past on symetrical cores.
Can't complain about the way this ball carries. Even other guys were asking what I was throwing since it was hitting so hard. I think it is really easy to read the ball reaction on this one. Very smooth and predictable with its move. I imagine I will also add one of these to the bag for Nationals with the pin down in my favorite drill. This ball has earned its spot next to my Break Out as one of the top 900 balls I own. I have two Eagles I rolled at Nationals last year and a third I will drill with a modified Rico that will go along to Baton Rouge as well if things are anything like 2011.
Roll with 900 Global.

Been thinking of polishing mine as well, or at least go to the "A" grit pad. Mine checked up really early in league last week. Its never a good thing when the ball turns left just past the arrows. There are no crisp backends, though. So I'm afraid if I shine it up, I'll have something that constantly hangs ten pins since it doesn't want to finish. But I feel like a dull ball burns up so early for me, and I hang ten pins there as well. Never liked my Solaris Requiem dull. Will an "A" or "T" pad help retain enough energy to kick out a ten pin?

i have 2 trains one at oob
and the other with a T pad
big difference and the carry is
off the charts i dont think id polish
it for it cover up the pores,, try a T pad
and if its still to much try an eagle
just my 2 cents worth
