Polishing

[andrae1982]

After you get your ball polished how many games usually can you bowl before you need to polish it again? Thanks.

No rule of thumb, many factors involved. When you feel it tracks out and/or changes recation in an undesirable way. Learn to read the ball reactions and draw conclusions´.

It depends on the type of polish, how heavily you applied it, your rev rate, the lane surface you bowl on, and the oil pattern.

Old wood lanes will wear the polish off much faster (really, it will alter whatever the surface is much faster) than good synthetics.  I can go several months at my house without having to repolish.

You can usually tell when you need to repolish. Usually the ball will start checkin up early on you and you will know. For me its a feel thing, plus the track area is usually duller then the rest of the balls surface.
