I have a Mission 2.0 drilled with the pin up and about 4" from the pap. In box (2000) it is too strong. When we polished it, the backend became almost uncontrollable for my slower speed. My question is, what should I expect if I change the surface to 4000? Or would the new delayed reaction polish over the 2000 surface be a better choice to obtain a smoother reaction? I would like to have this ball fit under my Mission X if possible.
Thanks for the help.
4000 grit (first try 500/1000/2000/4000; if that does work then you could try 500/4000) could work. It will go slightly longer than 2000 grit, with slightly more backend.
However, way before you try Delayed Reaction, I suggest you try 500 grit under a medium gloss, nonabrasive polish like Valentino's Snake Oil
OR 1000 grit under a light polish.
Both 4000 grit and the light polish should put this one under the Mission X. It's a matter of how far under the X you want to put the ball.
My guess is that a 500/4000 or a 500/3000 grit would probably be closest IF your drilling on the Mission 2.0 is right.
