Don't be afraid to polish it, Jeff. I gave mine a real light coat last night and it got rid of that tendency to read the lane too early and over-react. Awesome, awesome backend and still handled a fair bit of oil. I've had to put it away after one game for the last few weeks because I had it dull (~1000-grit), but last night I got into the third game with no troubles. I'm rev-challenged and polished doesn't usually work that great for me, but the cover is so strong that the polish just keeps it from reading too early without throwing it through the breakpoint.
