Lava liquid soap?
A good bowler, that bows with Jason on his Tuesday Night league, was using liquid lava on his ball. I notice he was rubbing it into the ball, then wiping it off?
Is lava ok on ball surface?
Given if the Lava soap had the pumice in it. Which is a abrasive then you couldn't use it during bowling, it would violate the rules on altering the surface.
It would clean the ball, but I would wonder about the moisturizers etc. that would be leaving residue on the ball.

Pumas?
He was rubbing it in the ball with one rag,,, then wiped it off, then used a spray bottle of ball cleanter. I wonder what effect the pumas would have in regards to ruffing up the surface. 300.400, 600?? I know he has used it a lot on his high end balls, and he gets great hook on the back end. He is about a 190-200 bowler average.
You could surely use it before and after bowling though right? I'm not sure Mike was saying he was using it DURING bowling, but rather after.... I don't know who he is talking about though, so I can't know for sure.Originally Posted by bowl1820
Are you saying Jeff used this on his ball? I've never seen him use anything on his ball, but then again, I don't pay attention to what he does after he is done bowling lol.
Well it would depend on how mad the pumas were and how sharp their claws were.
Now pumice in lava soap is very fine, no where near 600 or even a 1000

Yes, you could use it before/after bowling.

Hey I didn’t mention any names like you did Jason! I don’t want to be responsible for the FBI, PBA Officials knocking down his door, just because he was cleaning his ball with Lava!!! Shi#!! I can’t believe you mentioned his name,,, They have been know to storm houses, knock down doors, and take into custody guys/gals using the illegal substance on their bowling balls before league play!! I don’t think you meant Jeff,,,, JEFF!! The guy you bowl with! Some times they fine bowlers thousands of $$$!!
If I did use the stuff, I would (come clean), and turn myself in!! honesty is always the best in regards to use of illegal substances!
Hahaha!! Well, fortunately, it's legal to use as long as it's before or after bowling, just like any other substance.
Seeing as Lava soap isn't on the USBC approved cleaners list, it's legal status is murky at best.
Same can be said about the Pumas too!

The same can (and has) be said about Mike's sense of humor. I enjoy it but am admittedly warped.
