Take it down to 400 and then use Storm's Step 2 compound. Do this and it will come around the corner very nice.

Try taking a green Scotch Brite pad to the ball's surface and LIGHTLY scuff away some of the shine. This will make it grab the lane and rev up slightly earlier.

Don't use this too much or it will create a 600 grit finish, which will turn the ball into an oiler (or just make it hook a LOT earlier).

Sanding the ball to 1500 or even 2000 grit will make it very even reacting.

The common thing in all the posts is to take the grit down to under 1000.  I'm not sure its even necessary at that point to add any other compound.  It will smooth out the reaction big time.

Ok ok, too many answers. But no questions from our users here. we need more info. is your ball speed higher, average, or slower? would you judge your rev rate lower, average or higher?

taking a ball's surface to a lower grit to smooth out it's reaction works, with or without a finishing compound. but products like track's clean n dull, storm's step 1, or brunswick rough buff which i have all of which in my shop, often i use clean and dull on finishes over 800 to increase the tackiness. oftne below 800 i will use brunswick rough buff instead. have your proshop operator take the ball down with a grey or white pad if he has first. if the ball is still too snapy then try a a light polishing with progrip's 320.

Rev rate is on the lower side speed is probably medium to higher, the ball is actually getting good length and breaking at probably right point but its just to jumpy when it breks its like avery very sharp break as soon as it contacts dry.The ball looks grat going down the lane revs up great everything looks great just the jumpy break.
