Like your buddy, take polished pearls up the grit level line, so to speak.
Use Abralon pads. Use 1000 grit to remove the polish. Sand it with 2000 grit Abralon next. Then sand it with 4000 grit Abralon pad.

In general, a 4000 grit Abralon finished ball (NO polish) will handle the same amount of oil as 1500 grit polished pearl, but will be SLIGHTLY earlier, hook ever so slightly more, and handle more carrydown. It is basically the control version of "1500 grit polished".

Follow basic spinner protocol: use lots of water and make sure you do press too hard or use an over-used Abralon pad. They last for 2 - 4 balls, in general, but it's easy for a pad to become too used. COnstantly compare the pad you're using to a fresh one. SO you know the grit level is correct.

Great cool that works because I love the ball but it snaps too hard in fac finsih polish the way I bought it...

I threw a buddy of mine ball and he sanded it pretty fine I think 2000 abralon no polish still gets great length just not such a snap off dry that winds up brooklyn or off in the corner...I seem to also have control issues when balls are too polished

Is there any way to use polish and not have control issues I am not that fast around probally 14 15 mph

No charge.

Most Ebo resin pearls were done with that sequence: 800 grit sanded plus a strong does of Factory FInish polish.
Oddly, back then (not sure about the current version) FF needed the ball to be at least that fine, 800 grit. Anything above that was also good. But try 600 grit and below and I had a VERY hard time putting a polish/shine on the ball with Factory Finish. Well, actually I couldn't get a shine on them.

This process usually winds up around that magic number most manufacturers like for their polished resin pearls: 1500 grit polished.
Heck, these days even Lanemasters uses that process: 800 grit plus their Factory Finish polish.

Have fun and good luck.
