    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.
