Ball cleaning by soaking?
« on: November 18, 2003, 11:01:17 PM »
I tried the method of soaking my resin ball in hot water and dishwashing liquid 15 minutes each, 3 times, dried it off, let it air dry for 48 hours. Worked great! Restored the ball back to its original state (or close to it). My question: How often CAN\SHOULD I do this? I bowl once a week. I did notice the ball skidding a bit more towards the 3rd game but this may be due to carrydown. THX!

i do my balls once a year.. i hot wash them and have them resurfaced.. wiping a resin ball off after every throw just doesnt take enough oil off and it still soaks it up.. it is the nature of resin to do that.. so its kinda like spring cleaning, i start every fall league off with a good cleaning of the balls..
