As like the others, I got the best out of mine when it was neither polished or roughly sanded.
Had mine polished, but it would skid and never hook. Had the shop run over it with a grey scotchbrite pad and got my reaction back.
OI is a great ball, but really needs that correct surface. All in all, I think I would try about a 1000-1500 wetsanded finish and see what happens. If it reads too early, go up in grit to 2000-3000. Much over that and I think you would start getting a skid/flip like the smokin again, but I could be wrong.
