Freak Out and hook again?
« on: November 03, 2003, 02:30:13 AM »
Has anyone tried hook again on track products?  my freak out is just not making the turn much anymore.  to its credit it has given me probably close to 500 games and has been very good to me.  oh, and is the chamber that comes with it reusable?

thanks all,
ccb

why dont you use magic shine?

my threat started to loose it's turn....now it blasts back to the pocket like new!
same with my avenger...i polished it with 3M finess-it II and it hardly came back on med. conditions...with a touch of magic shine, it restored it's backend perfectly!

I washed my Freak and my EMB in very warm water and light dish soap this summer. It really helped the EMB, but it made the weakened Freak just crap out. Totally dead and unusable.

So, as a last recourse, the Freak got the hook again treatment for 48 hours... and the ball has come back much stronger. It's about 85% of new. Not totally a new ball, but very usable on the right conditions.
