Ball discolored now, is it OK?
« on: December 26, 2006, 10:12:01 AM »
Went bowling a few days ago with my new Morich WMB and put everything in the back of the car for maybe 5 hours when I was done.  I had cleaned all four balls at the alley but the WMB now has a hazy white area, about 1x3", where it was sitting in the bottom of the plastic cup of my Storm 4 ball roller.  None of the others look different and the temp. didn't get below 42 or so, while it was in the car.  I thought maybe I missed getting some of the Ebonite ball cleaner off (not likely) and it would dry up and go back to normal after a day or so but it's been more than 2 days now.  Any Ideas what happened and is everything OK?

take it and throw it again, after 2 games the white stuff should disappear....
I do not know if this is a brunswick cover or not as I don't follow the Morich thing but it is fairly common with big M's (M for mexican Brunswick) covers...

He said that if you throw it again, it will go away, which is also correct.  Both methods create the needed heat to dissipate the buildup...

Same thing happened to mine, MOST of it will go away when you thrown it, but some is still on mine.  It's happened to every WMB that I have seen.

Thank's for all the responses.

OK, or at least better now.  First I tried more cleaner, before the orig. post, with no improvement.  Then I sat the ball on a folded up paper towel, zip.  After a few responses, I tried a burgundy pad, the white is out but then I had a different duller finish in that area so I hit it with the green pad, much closer, though I can still see where I used a circular motion in three overlapping spots to get the white out.

Bowled with it tonight and no change in that area but I guess I got some ball cleaner in the thumb hole and it's already dribbled out and run across the ball and left a series of dots, like something walked out of the hole, not as bad as the white haze from before though.  I'm wondering now if the Ebonite Energizer ball cleaner is at least part of the fault, that's what I used the last two times and I had no problem before when I used the regular Ebonite Ball Cleaner.  Anything else, I might use that is less likely to leave marks?  I also have the Storm Surface Management Kit which includes 3 of their cleaners and just ordered some of Track's Clean and Dull.
