It does not matter that you use on the ball, what matters is what grit you want the surface. If you just want to take the shine off the ball, i would say that you use a high grit sandpaper, adn then use the Abralon pads to bring back up to box grit. If you want to take the surface down, just use a grey scotch brite pad, or 800 grit sandpaper.
