Also I was planning to soak this ball about every 50 games in hot water with a little Dawn in it. It's worked for my Illusion. Any issues doing it here too? And no, I will not bake the ball. I refuse to do that.
Thanks.

Seriously, anything you used successfully on other resin balls should be fine on any other resin ball. Use common sense; bowling ball specific cleaners are safest. This isn't rocket science. At least this part isn't.

rbarthle17, Take what Kidjete says with a grain of salt! His profile says he's only been bowling for 2 month's, I have been in this game for over 25 years and have 15 300's to my credit and 2 800's and I am very experienced with the Ebonite Hook Again system and resurfacing technics and I guarantee absolutely it works to bring back the reactivity by more than 97%! Kidjete Cheap-A**,who knows, (Inexperienced) Definitely!!!!!!!!
I have only TAKEN bowling seriously for the last couple months. I have been around it for well over 15 years. I have always reaad up on different techniques to care for your balls because I always helped out my father when he needed it. I may be inexperience on the lanes(congrats on all your honor scores by the way, I too hope to have some one day so I can throw them in "inexperienced" peoples faces
) but I know what I'm talking about when it comes to bowling. If you want to spend 20 bucks on Hook Again that fine. I'm not saying it doesn't work but soaking is just as tried and true and costs almost nothing. BowlingGuy31,
I soak a ball for 20-25 minutes in the hottest tap water we get at home with some dawn dish soap added. Works everytime.

everyone has their own techniques for saving balls and the only balls ive ever had die on me where particle balls (columbia rock on and richochet have yet again to throw a columbia particle ball)
As far as acetone goes i know numerous ppl who use it, you can say all u want about it these ppl have had the same particle balls for years and use acetone on a regular cleaning basis (about every 25 games)

its all simple physics

The trick to using the system is to instead of leaving a ball in for 24 hours to instead leaving it in for 48 hours, this will draw out almost all of the oil and garbage that retards the Particle and reactive ball's from retaining energy for the final 15 feet!
The hook again system is not designed to remove "oil and garbage". The intent is to remove the build up of plasticizer in the track area. If you're going to preach it's benefits, you should at least know how it's supposed to work.

it is illegal to touch a ball with acetone at ANY time.
Except when the ball is finished being drilled?
It's good to remove excess crazy glue and yellow pencil lines but Sweet Jesus that stuffs stinks
Just curious: anyone know the name of the solution (or whatever it's called) that's used to strip oil from the lanes and does it harm every coverstock?
