Do you guys buy your bowling towels at pro shops? I personally just go to Wal-Mart's auto care section and get a pack of 3 for $4 and some odd cents. Works just as well for me. Anyone else do this?
Walmart: 20 towels for $15.

Yup......I got 4 for $5 approx. 3 weeks ago. The only problem is they are an 80-20 blend. The ones they used to carry were a 70-30 blend which worked better than the 80-20 blend.
6 of one, half a dozen of the other.
Yes, the 70/30 seem to be better; the actual weave of the colth is more important than the actual blend.

they are $10 at your shop. IF you can't afford a towel, you can't afford bowling every week
But why pay 10bucks for one when you can get 12 at Target for that amount. Use one a month and then go buy more....

If you're talking about how fine or, I guess, "coarse", the towel is, then yes. If the weave is too fine, it doesn't really pick up any oil.
BTW, what does happen to the towel when it's exposed to fabric softener? Does it fall apart or something?

The reason to use only liquid detergent is that undissolved powdered detergent can get into the fibers of the towel and scratch whatever you are using the towel on. This mainly applies to using the towels for auto detailing. I use mine for a lot of different things and it is easier just to be sure they will be safe for any surface.

Nope, I wa talkign about the texture of the surface.

Fabric softener, among other things, clings to the surface, blocking the opens "pores"/weaving, which in turn, blocks the absorption of any liquids, thus reducing the amount of oil or water or any liquid, it can absorb.
It's also why you do not put fabric softener on your bathroom, kitchen or workshop towels when you wash and/or dry them.

I still had one previous 70-30 blend towel left. I compared it to the 80-20 blend and the 70-30 blend was thicker, softer, etc vs the 80-20 blend I recently bought which were thinner and not as soft.
But the composition does not determine how the cloth is woven.
That said, different composition can still absorb and/or function differently.
I've seen cotton, usually considered a fairly absorbent material, be made with a coating, such as teflon, in order to prevent wrinkles and to prevent stain retention. That stain retention makes that type of cotton INCREDIBLY resistant to absorbing any moisture. Yet most of these microfiber cloths are made of some combination of polyestera, usually NOT considered to be very moisture absorbent.
So, while the exact type of material is important, the type of weave is also, I believe, very important.
