i am posting this because i just picked up a passion .My passion is polished and i just noticed that its oob is 500 grit. Since I already have the epic battle, I am wondering if the passion, in oob, is as strong as, or maybe stronger than the battle.
   The passion is a good ball as it is. However It really is an overlap in my bag in its polished state. I am torn between making it dull again maybe to 12 or 1500 or leaving it polished and just alternating it with the other stuff. I got it for 80 bucks drilled and I thought that was a steal,now i just have to figure out what to do with it. I do need a step down from the battle,but i think polished its more of a drop than a step. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

this is where a good deal isnt a good deal. The passion polished is only 2 to 3 boards stronger than my power groove. If i can play one i can play the other,which is the basis for my ,I dont want to dull it up and have 2 heavy oil only balls ,but if i leave it like it is its just a matter of preference as to when i use it . The power groove has cemented itself in my bag thats a given. oh well its not the first ball I bought and really served no purpose and it probably wont be the last.

I believe the Battle is be stronger than the Passion.
