Mine is drilled about 4" from PAP below the fingers, small balance hole needed.
I'm not speed dominant (16mph) but this ball handles LOTS of oil. I have changed the surface to 2000 abralon to make to suit my game better. Factory surface just about started hooking immediately so I had to adjust it. As with most heavy load particle balls, I don't cross as many boards as I would with a reactive, but on the "soup" the ball can be pretty good. Good luck.
On edit, I did try some polish but didn't like it as much as 2000 abralon.
