Extracting oil from Motiv bowling balls
« on: March 03, 2015, 10:42:07 PM »
I have a NuBall rejuvenator and I love it. I've used it before with my Brunswick Wicked Siege and with my Paranormal Aura with great success. The balls are sweating oil after an hour at 125F. Sometimes I even have to leave them for an extra hour untiel they stop sweating oil. Completely different story with my Motiv equipment. I used it with my Jackal, NO OIL, used it with my Shock, nothing, used with my Sigma Sting and NADA, NONE, ZERO! Is it just me or someone else is having the same experience? Do I have to use a different temperature? More time maybe? Where is the oil? Lol  ;D

Motiv covers soak up oil the slowest of any brand on the market by a fairly wide margin.  I usually expect to get nothing or next to nothing out of them in the Detox.  Ebonite brands are on the other end, I haven't done one of those yet that didn't gush, with Hammer being the worst.

It varies from bowling ball to to bowling ball. My Aura has got a lot of use this year and I keep fresh surface on it and have never got a drop. My Paranormal on the other hand will.

I have baked 3 different bowling balls using PK18 and none of them bleed oil. One an original Danger Zone that has never been cleaned in 20 years, the other a Copperhead drilled this past year and the last was a Karma. One of the balls that bled a lot I was surprised about....the original Yeti.


If no oil is coming out after 20-30 minutes I pull it and move on. Everything else starts bleeding usually in the first 10-15 minutes and I will keep them in there and wipe down every 20-30 minutes till no more oil comes out. Have had several take over two hours including the original yeti.

An option on deferring the cost some on a spinner is to go in with someone else on the purchase.  I went in with my parents (who bowl a lot more than I do) and in return I resurface their equipment when it needs it.  After a while you can discuss buying out the other person or the other way around.

Great deal on spinners for $230 shipped new. I got a Vortex and love it. Best investment you can make if a moderate to serious bowler.

guess that explains my hammer equipment.. any idea how much storms usually bleed out compared to the other companies

You bought a an oil extraction device but not a spinner?  Priorities in my mind are Spinner way before oil extraction device!  Unless you own a shop, you'll only need to do oil extraction on a ball every 50-60 games depending on the ball.  A spinner is a must have tool for any serious bowler.  Some balls need to have surface touched up ever 9-12 games as lane shine occurs (especially roughly sanded equipment).  Plus having the ability to resurface or just make surface adjustments to fine tune equipment is way more important than occasional oil extraction.

Buy a spinner dude!

As for the subject of the OP, I was able to extract oil easily from my Radical Reax and Storm Hy-Road Pearl.  However, my Mastermind, Defiant Soul, and 900G Network didn't sweat a drop.  So it's not just Motiv equipment.

Well, I got the NuBall for $100 shipped, that's why I got it before the spinner lol

But yeah, I need to get one ASAP.

I have a Sting which gives up NO oil even after a full hour at 125 degrees in my Nu Ball unit---not even a slick surface on the ball. I extended time between de-oiling from 30 to 45 games---still no oil or even a slick surface. I use a Nail Titanium on light oil-dry conditions. ITZPS is absolutely correct; even on light oil conditions, the NT bleeds a lot of oil after 30 games.
