Thanks for the information.
As for the polyester surface, is it ok to sand it if I want it to skid less and start up sooner?
Polyester is more like urethane in that when you sand it, it hooks more, not just earlier. Polyester doesn't flip like resin when polished. It also doesn't burn up early in the midlane like resin does, and then flatten out in the backend. So while it still doesn't hook much, with too much tilt or rotation or too little ball speed, polyester can still hook enough to be problematic
If you have a problem with picking/chopping the 6 off the 10 or, for lefties, the 4 off the 7, then you've got to give it more room to hook or to throw it with either a flatter release or with more ball speed.
Also it can be drilled to be more rolly and even (like CG on the PAP, with a hole to take side weight). This will hook very early, but you will hardly ever chop anything. It will hook. I've tried this and do not like. I think I'd rather use simple negative side weight to reduce backend on pancake core polyester ball.
