picked one up a few months ago and just recently got it drilled for arcing reaction on med to heavy oil.  Ball just skids thru the pins never seems to grab the lane. I can see it rev but never makes a move to the pocket. I have to really slow it down to see it do anything, unless the lanes are dry. Anyone have one and what is there experience?  I'm going to take the surface down to 1000 grit with grey pad and see what happens.

Yes coverstock adjustments work well with that "monsoon coverstock".  Might be necessary to go below 1000 grit.  Abralon pads really work well, either the 1000 or for a lot of surface 500.

I have the pearl version of that ball, and finally had to go to 4000 grit abralon and no polish to tone it down a bit. I'm a mildly rev dominant with high track; with 15-17 mph speed.

A teammate has the "solid" version of the ball, and he went to 2000 grit because of his slow ball speed.  Originally, he had it @ 500 and it really moved, and then tamed it down @ 1000.  He throws it terrific with less surface @ 2000.  But again, his ball speed is way low @ 11-13 mph.

Good Luck with the Pro Stock!

Scotch brite work AOK. I do prefer the Abralon pads, easier to work with, better finishing job.

I have a super sport pearl and I just knocked the shine off of it with a 2000 grit abralon pad. It has alot better reaction now and it dosent get as squirty as before. Before it was hydroplane on oil, over jump on the dry.
