I like mine OOB for an average medium house shot with my stats/technique. Normally play a 11-12 at the arrows to 7-8 break point. 4000ab OOB with a pin under 65* x 4.5" x 65* X hole at P3....control layout. Good length nice heavy roll off the spot....carry is better than most equipment I have when it hits the hole.
On a lil heavier medium flat pattern that plays out near 5 I needed it at 2000ab to read the spot better and not wiggle.
I do like the ball a lot and think enough of it to think about a MOjave under it and an N'Sane above it.
FWIW....I think of the 4000 finish which I believe is 4000 wet sand as pretty semi-polished to start.
