Sure did. I have 3 GP2s total right now. 2 of them are drilled identical, pin under ring, cg in the palm, mass bias left of thumb, no extra hole needed for either. One I left out of box surface and the other I hit with Magic Shine 4 times on all 4 sides of the ball. The polished one looke like a marble. Like I said in a post yesterday, if the 2 GP2s drilled the same did not have labels or look alike, someone would never think they were the same ball. The factory surface one is aggressive, handles oil very nice and is smooth. The polished one scoots down the lane super easy(high rg helps as well) and really turns the corener hard. 2 weeks ago in my summer doubles league, I used the polished one on the left lane and the dull one on the right lane. The left lane was over under for the dull version, as when I moved in it wanted to skid and as soon as I hit 10 it wanted to turn, so where the dull GP2 wanted to turn on the left lane, I used the polished one and it got down the lane as needed. Overall, it goes further, has more backend, and is probably 3-4 boards less overall than its opposite. I shot 224 with the last 3, 279(stoned 7 in the 7th) and 300 the last game. 26 out of the last 27 with these 2 balls.

Don't be afraid to try it..Track's covers take changes VERY WELL, amongst the best in the business, even the GP2 which is a pretty heavy load of particles.

I have only polished 1 of my GP2s. The polished one says in play longer on house shots or shorter patterns. It is far from skid/flip, but even with polish it gives the ball a nice arc.
