    When I ordered my bag I got a free microfiber towel I use.

    A better poll would be how often do you wash that rag, lol.

    1) This question is lame.
    2) I didn't know we could use "polls"? I thought that was only for Bowl1820 when he was trying to ban people!
    3) I switch between cotton and microfiber. I'm WAY not good enough to notice my game suffering if I use "the wrong towel".

    Didn't we have an arguement/discussion 2 months ago that you shouldn't even towel your ball between shots because some pro (I think Malott) doesn't (so, itso facto...we shouldn't wither)???

    Shouldn't we do a poll on who is going to be victorious on March 1 and if Aslan should open a twitter live feed?

    Sometimes I punish my ball and don't towel off in between frames when it doesn't cooperate. Until it redeems itself with a double it doesn't get wiped.

    I mainly wipe the ball off to keep from getting a permanent stain on my bowling shirts. I started doing it long before I owned a reactive ball.

    I have a microfiber towel that I use and still manage to get stains on my shirt every time I bowl. I find if I don't wipe down my ball it messes up my rhythm and I end up rushing or throwing a bad shot. I guess I still wipe it on my shirt sometimes too without realizing it. Whoops.

    I chose microfiber, as when I do wipe my ball that is what I use. I always wipe my spare ball, but very rarely do I on my strike ball anymore.

    No towel. Now I am using more low flaring stuff so I really don't want to be smearing oil into the dry rings that are right next to the oil rings. I clean the ball when I am done bowling.

    I've learned to keep the microfiber towel, that I use during play, damp with a few spritzes of ball cleaner. I use it before each throw. Through out the night, hit the towel again a time or two with cleaner. Helps keep the rubber marks and dirt from building up as well as cleaning off the oil instead of moving it around the ball. It makes cleaning the ball at the end of the night alot easier too.
