The way it's described in that FAQ makes it seem like 6 sides aren't necessary, at least to keep the ball round, but it seems to help modify reaction I suppose. It's kinda hard to picture how you would position the ball to sand perpendicular and parallel to the track though.
And just to change the surface you don't have to start down at 180/220/360 or whatever and work your way up until you reach the finish your want, that's just for resurfacing right?
On edit, I just thought of a way to do 6 sides. Someone clarify for me if this is wrong. Start with holes up, flip to holes down, rotate so that you only see the thumb, flip so you only see the fingers. That's how I would have done the 4 sides, but I just thought of doing the other two sides so that you can only see one finger and half the thumb(theoritically, if the thumb was aligned with the bridge), then flip so you only see the other finger and other half of the thumb. Hopefully I explained it well enough to understand. Does that work?
