Have mine a few months .. it gets more action then any other ball I have. Your description defines my drilling! Use the ball on Med/hvy and the ball is still going strong. I HAVE NOT been wiping it with a fiber towel after every frame or after every session. New Years day I cleaned it up with the cleaner supplied in delivery .. haven't use it yet .. but it has to be the best ball around at this time! I am TOTALLY satisfied with mine.
