Updated: Help with Virtual Gravity

I recently drilled up a virtual and am having problems with it hooking to much. I would like a little more length and less backend. My RPMs are in the low three hundred range and I throw at about 15.5 mph. I need some advice on what I can do to weaken it out (polish, sanding, redrill ect).

Update: I threw this ball for 3 games before league last night just to get some more lane shine on it. I also adjusted my release to go more end over end that my normal release. I have both rapid fires and a cell also in my bag. It the past when I have tried to take hand out of those ball I tend to have carry problems. Not with the virtual. In league I went 231 blown 8th in the middle of what would of been 9 in a row and 245 with 3 bad shots to start. It started to hook to early at the end of the 2nd game so i had to put it away. This ball has quickly became my favorite. I can miss right and it doesn't over react and if I miss in it will hold. The ball hits harder than any other ball I have ever thrown and the carry is fantastic. Now I just need to decide to drill up another or get a 2D.

Well, if you haven't tried polishing it yet, you should.

500 abralon and rough buff on high speed on a spinner, ball gleams now but still hooks aton.

I have also used 2k abralon and snake oil but that hooked more erratic for me at least, it did hook but did not love carry down much then.

Well polishing would give you more length but it would increase backend. I would suggest 4000 abralon and on high speed if you have a spinner. Abralon finishes will be smoother than polish. It will give you the length but it should smooth out the backend. I think the ball comes at 4000 or something like that. If this is the case take it down to 500 and then back up to 4000 abralon. Other than that throw it faster or take some hand out...
