The core actually will want to push it longer than the Special Agent like Jaros was throwing before it, however the box finish on the T-Road Solid is only 1000 grit compared the 2000 grit Special Agent. That make it come up harder in the midlane. If you don't want as much midlane, take it up to 2000 or 4000 or, hell, throw some polish on it if you want.
I would NEVER turn down a free ball with the R2S coverstock. It's super versatile and super strong.
