Just purchased a United revolt, I am 65 and the ball is just to strong for me.
When I put some polish on it to get it down the lane if I don't like it that way
Is there an easy way to take it off

Sure sand it, simple as that. Abralon pads, Siaair pads, sandpaper .

Use a 4000 grit pad (wet sand) That way the polish is removed while giving you a ball that will still get down the lane before it reads and reacts.... Remember, that the rougher the surface, the earlier it reads the lane.
You mentioned wanting a cleaner ball motion; 4000 grit pad.

Remember that polish is not a coating like varnish or lacquer or polyurethane. It is an extremely fine abrasive. Most polished balls, with a shined or gloss appearance, have roughly a surface with the equivalent of 4500 - 5500 grit. Removing "polish" is the equivalent of reducing the grit level to a lower number. The shined appearance will become a matte (dull) appearance. The highest grit that is usually available that will not result in a polished appearance is 4000 grit. Abralon, Siaair and Jost all make pads at this grit level.
