    Actually I did his opinion was that since you were only lightly hitting the ball with a pad that the rule didn't apply. I'm not sure that I agree and wouldn't want to risk it before a competition. Older Senior PBA bowler has a tendency to do things his way. lol

    Back in the Urethane early Reactive days, there was supposed to be a few cases where some balls. Drilled close to the limits on static weights, had absorbed enough oil to push it over the limit.

    I never personally seen one, just read about it a long time ago.
    Interesting would think you would see more of this now since modern balls soak up so much more oil the Urethane did.

    It may vary well be happening, unless you went to the trouble to check (sweating a ball reweighting etc.) a ball that was legal that was then declared illegal. To see if it was oil absorbed that did it, you wouldn't know.

    Most would just chalk it up to someone mis weighing to begin with.

    Like I said I heard that years ago and its never came up anywhere that Ive heard of. Plus a ball would have to be right on the edge for it to matter if it did happen.

    The main thing is just clean the whole ball.

    Your not saving enough time or money to make it worth while, doling out cleaner with a eyedropper and just wiping the track with a Qtip. LoL
