Pro Shop Oven Question.
« on: December 14, 2006, 01:55:46 AM »

Has anyone had oil extracted by one of these?  How well did it work?  Can it be used more than once without hurting the ball?  Does it affect inserts?

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes.  How well it works depends on the individual ball.  I have seen everything from nearly a complete revival to almost no noticeable difference.  Generally if a ball is saturated and just feels "slimy," then I think its a good idea.  I have rejuvenated a ragin inferno 6 times and counting for a teammate and never had any issues.  The temperatures don't get hot enough to really effect the grips... although you may want to think about having them replaced if they are the originals and you are getting the ball rejuvenated (suggested every 60 games?).  Rejuvenations seem to work best when done in combination with a resurfacing.

I couldn't agree more with Strapper.  In our shop, we have rejuvenated many balls for customers over and over.  By itself, in almost all cases, the ball will have some of its hook and reaction come back.  It depends on the ball.  We try to have people resurface and rejuvenate at the same time as it does help a tremendous amount.  We offer them a combo price to help make that decision easier.

i have had great luck with the use of the rejuvenator on my brunswick equipment for the past 3-4 years. cleaning your ball(s) every time you use them goes a long way to slowing down the absorbtion of oil. if you neglect your ball(s) and then expect the rejuvenator to perform a miracle after 500 games you need to look somewhere else for help. i agree that using the rejuvenator in conjunction with having the ball resurfaced with a haus-type machine will produce the best results.
