Need your advice, would this be a logical progession:
V2 sanded
V2 sanded - polished
V2 sweet
Or would there be too much overlap between the polished V2 sanded (really stupid way of describing), and the sweet.. assuming same drilling specs.
thanks..

In many cases, it should be a logical progression, but a fairly tight one. Usually when you use the same ball but in polished "mode", you'd drill the polished one weaker. Forinstance, the first one you might put the pin under the ring finger at 4" from PAP, while the 2nd you might put the pin over the bridge at 5" - 5.5" from your PAP.

Charlest - thanks for replying, but wouldn't the longer pin placement cause the ball, already polished-therefore already longer, to go even further down the lane?
wouldn't it be better to have the same pin distantaces, and just have a polished coverstock? Keeping in mind that coverstock is supposed to be 70% of reaction?
If I'm asking stupid or redundant questions, please bear with me..

I used to think so myself, but experience seems to indicate otherwise. When you go from one ball to the next in an arsenal, you want/need some overlap, but not a lot. Just polishing usually does not do what is needed, unless you went to extremes on both, say 600 grit dull, then 3000 grit high gloss polish. But if you do that you may miss some valuable middle ground.
Leaving the V2 solid/sanded at its box 1000 grit is a good, safe idea, with say a 4" pin, somewhere under the bridge level. The second might be 1500 - 2000 grit polished with the pin over the ring finger or over the center of the bridge. CG posiiton can be your preferred posiiton for each or slightly different.

Charlest, thanks! Didn't occur to me to have have overlap for easier ball transition.. LOL!! Will do.
