Got this ball off of Ebay, extremely low mileage and I believe with the original OOB surface with Pin above ring with everything stacked and a weight hole. Threw it last night on what I believe was a fresh 41ft shot. My feet were on about 35 and I was playing a break point around 7 and it was making it back with authority when the bowler (me) did everything correct. I can't play that deep with any kind of consistent accuracy. This ball needs a surface change. Should I polish over the OOB surface to add some length, scuff with the scotch brite smooth it out a little? Or should I start with a surface I know and adjust from there. I like using the Track Clean N Smooth 1500 polish and then either polishing from there or leaving it dull depending on what I see. My ball speed is around 15ish to 16mph tops.

 

On an added note my son has a Mission 2.0 and we were shocked at how much more the 2.5 moved on the backend than the 2.0. With the 2.0,with a very similar drilling, my son can play a much straighter line to the pocket. The 2.0 is 800 wet sand no polish.

I would suggest hitting it with a 2000 pad. This will smooth out the backend a little without sacrificing how clean it is through the fronts.
