This has been my benchmark ball only have owned it for a few months but a couple of weeks ago I noticed in practice before league and warmups the ball was reacting horrible on a simplistic house shot. Out to 10 hit horrible. Out to 5 never recovered or would hook way too much. I extracted the oil out of the ball a month ago when it really didn't need to.
I feel that the comination of the mild wear and the factory polish perhaps needing a surface adjustment. So I have the one and only Abarlon pad at 1000 grit. Since I bought this I stopped wetsanding balls. This works great since I don't have a spinner I can place it in my sink and works great. Then I hand polished it with some Brunswick polish for a decent but not totally glossy shine. I'm hoping this will take care of it.

Fortunately Mine hasn't had that happen yet. I did try it at 2000 abralon and it was very strong. I then polished over that with Beans secret sauce and the backend is still strong
