500/1000 ABRALONⓇ POLISHED W/ POWERHOUSE FACTORY FINISH POLISH

Box finish is made for that reaction. Use 4000 or 2000 to take off the shine and slow down the response to friction.

Had the same reaction as you describe
dull it up and it will be a good 3 boards stronger and a foot sooner
scuff it up with a 4000 and it will be a bit less responsive
I actually called up Track tech support and spoke to Mitch Beasley last week about this ball.
Mine was drilled pin up (kicking myself for that) should have been pin down
he suggested a small weight hole on my PAP which I did do to calm it down off the friction, should be able to square up a bit more this way
Have not tried it yet.
Will be trying it Tuesday night, I can report back afterwards

I thought weight hole on the PAP was a type 2 (P2) weight hole, neutral in its effects?

As everyone is saying, add some surface. I would start with a higher grit and go down as needed. Mine was more angular than I thought. I knew it was gonna pop some but I had overunder with it. I tried different surfaces and when I found the right one to match me, ball really changed.
The ball is really good for the burn with how clean it is. I typically don't use this ball early ever. I found that the more friction there is the better this ball is. When there is oil in the fronts this ball will skid for a long time.

2 things:

1. Everyone has their own interpretation of what angular means. 

To me, the Kinetic Emerald is not that angular for a mid-performance factory shined ball. Compare it to the Code Black and the Kinetic Emerald is not as angular.  I have both with the same exact layout and in total they cover the same amount of boards.  However, the Code Black goes longer and comes off the spot much more aggressively.  On the other end of the spectrum, compare the Kinetic Emerald to something like an IQ Tour Solid, and the Kinetic Emerald is very angular.

Everything is relative.  To me the Kinetic Emerald is fairly angular but not overly angular and is a great option for most THS and some harder patterns (there's a reason it's been in Dom Barrett's arsenal for a while now).  I've had success with it on USBC White #2 when most of the time the shiny balls stay in the bag.

2. As everyone else in the thread has said, knock the shine off the ball with an Abralon pad.  That will get it to read earlier and tame it down on the back end.
