I asked them basically the same thing yesterday and this is what they said...

------------
Many customers have said that they like using 1000 Abralon for the Revs and 4000 Abralon for the Finish because it gives them a reaction similar to the factory finish on both balls, but it seems to be a little more consistant...plus it is easier to duplicate after that, if needed.

With that being said, it should be noted that there really is no equivalent for Abralon to the box finish on the Revs or the Finish. At the factory, the Revs comes off the grinders at bout 220 grit and then compound is applied. This surface can be best duplicated by wet sanding the ball with 220 grit and then applying Brunswick's Factory Finish Rough Buff according to the directions on the bottle. For the Finish, it comes off the grinders (again at about 220 grit) and compound is applied. From there it goes to the polishing station. To best duplicate this procedure, follow the steps above for the Revs, but then apply Brunswick's Factory Finish High Gloss Polish.

i used 1000 abralon. after every 12-15 games i put 1000 abralon on again with a spinner, i get my best results that way.

Hmm, if they do an additional compound step before they apply high gloss polish, then I can understand why my Finish reacted so erratically when it came OOB glossy...

I can just second the observation that the Finish at 4.000 grit Abralon is much more consistent at the breakpoint, but also reads the lane much sooner. To get more legnth out of it, I put a coat of 3M #50077 Trizact compound (from the Finesse It series) over the 4.000 Abralon, and this yielded a very tacky gloss surface that puts the ball reaction nicely between OOB and 4.000 Abralon. It gets the ball well through lighter heads - better than the sanded surface. Mid lane recovery is also better than OOB, much more traction on the dry.

Nevertheless, thank you transltr for positing this bit of information

tried ball with out adjusting to my fit.

I love the core movement and control of the midlane.

Interested to see if too much. It is a POWERFUL piece of engineering!
