All of the above.

With today's stronger coverstocks cleaning and deep cleaning is more important than ever.

Amen. Cleaning your equipment is now just something you have to do after every...and I mean every... session...whether you used the ball for just a few frames or all night. It's something you have to do....just like wearing bowling shoes!

NO MERCY: the most

PAIN: the least

However just like Carl said, all bowling balls now a days need to be cleaned all the time.

yeah.. gave the old BW a good hot bath... restored the hook for about 3 frames.. threw on a decent pattern last night and the thing hooked like a house ball... i guess it's time to go to the proshop and see if they can bring this thing back to life.  so needless to say I'm pretty bummed about the ball... i feel like i wasted 200 bucks.. but on the birhgt side.. the Vibe works great... no more heavy oil balls from hammer for me...

it was funny b/c i threw the thing after the bath ( a few hours) and thought to my self "holy $*it, it worked"  but maybe i should try to do the bath a few times in a row and then maybe even bring the surface down to 2000 abralon?

Bring it down to 320, then treat, in any method you choose; then bring back to 2000 or 4000 grit, as desired.
