Has anyone played with polishing the Totally Defiant?  Is there maybe a delay, but hook more polish?

Mine currently is sitting at 1000 abralon, no polish, around 50-60 games, and can only be used if the back ends are clear of carry down.  I've thought about taking the ball up to 4000 abralon trying to make the ball a dryer lane ball. also half considered trying to sell the ball, and get something else.  The conditions I see regularly are oily, with eventual carry down. 

I regularly bath the ball a hot water soak / soap to keep the ball clean, but where I play, I think I need a particle pearl like an edge.

Mine oob was skid-skid- and more skid. Took the factory polish off with 4k abralon pad and now it reads hooks and sets like it should. But still is a medium maybe med/heavy oil ball at best and it does need a hook spot downlane with minimal carrydown.

Yup! This sounds like the ball for me! Skid-skid- skid is exactly what I need, I am rev dominant, with slow speed. Getting the ball to turn over and finish has never been a problem.

wanna make a deal?  lol

Just wondering how this ball would do if finished like the Critical Theory? 500/4000. I have not seen any of these being thrown in my area either. Good Luck.
