Not sure if it matters, but wondering if anyone reccomends a good microfiiber towel. I'm sure some are better than others I guess.

My local pro shop gave or sold me one when I bought my first or second reactive resin ball, and then told me that I should buy them almost anywhere else in the future to save money. Microfiber is microfiber. There probably is some variation in quality from one mill to another, but they are so cheap you can probably do well just getting the cheapest ones you can find.

I love my Storm Towel and it's not Micro-Fiber. I wash mine every couple of weeks and I like the size of my towel better than the micro-fiber. You can get a similar towel from Roto-Grip.

Basically as long as you keep the towel clean it doesnt matter what it is.

I found some microfiber towels at a store that were just as good as
my Brunswick microfiber towel. I'm not sure if they have the stores
everywhere but the store name is (The Dollar Tree) and the towels
are only $1.00 each and nothing in the store is over $1.00 and some
things are less than $1.00.

It's been said a few times already, but definitely get them at a different store, not a pro shop or online. I think I got 10 microfiber towels for like $5 and I've seen a pro shop sell one for $10. My pro shop sells them for $3 a piece. Still, much cheaper to buy them by the bundle at walmart or target or whatever.

Thanks guys, the detail department at my dealership has plenty around that i can grab a few, didnt know if there was a certain one that was better. Thanks for the input though, i was really not wanting to spend 10 dollars on one towel lol.

Just buy a DV8 ball and make sure they give you the towel that comes in the box ;) ;)

One thing to remember with Microfiber towels when washing them, don't use a fabric softener on them. The oils in the softener and self-softening detergents will clog up the fibers and make them less effective until they are washed out back out.

Just don't wash or dry them with fabric softener. It tends to coat the fibers and take away the reason you bought it.

I bought a microfiber, and also received the towel that came with the DV8 HHR, so I use the micro on the ball, and the DV8 on me.

ANOTHER important thing that a X pro bowler told me is Always use a Mico towel! He said that plain cotton pushes the dirt into the ball, and that a mico towel removes the oil, and dirt!

I also detail cars, so I ended up getting a black microfiber towel and cleaning solution to was the towels in the washer. Black is more difficult to find and looks better in my opinion.

I use the storm microfiber towel and it seems to work better then the cheaper ones I bought at target. I see more evidence but it's just a opinion. In any event micro is far better for picking up oil then cotton

I've used a micro fiber towel for a little bit but didn't notice a difference between that and the towel that I have had for 20 years now. I also recently went to the National Bowling Stadium in Reno and bought one of the towels from there. That is the towel I have been using for the last month and I do not think it is a micro fiber towel but it sure does the job. To me a towel is a towel, as long as it does it's job it doesn't matter what it is made out of.
