Right now, my hyroad is a factory finish (1500 grit polished). It hooks just as much as my virtual gravity (2000). But, i think that is do to the fact that my virtual has lost a lot of hook. Anyways, I usually start out with my virtual, and half way through second game try to switch to my hyroad, but when I do that, I find myself having to move about 5 boards left just to keep it in the pocket. So, I was wondering what I should take it to, to get it to hook less. 4000 grit polish? or do I need to take the polish off or what? suggestions appreciated!! Thanks
