Haven't been cleaning my ball. :-( It's been mentioned that balls are cleaned after each use. How is that accomplished?
Thanks for the info, guys!

1-You get a bottle of cleaner and a towel.Originally Posted by rv driver
2- Next you spray cleaner on the ball.
3-Then take the towel and wipe it off.

Jokes aside I really like the Storm Reacta Foam. You can clean the ball right there on the lane no mess no runny liquids. I'm sure available on BowlingBall.com bottle last quite a while.

Man, I don't remember that! But I've slept since then, too. So... I got a microfiber towel with my ball (says DV8 on it and everything!). Do I use that same towel to clean the ball that I use to wipe the ball after every throw? (I used to do that with my rubber ball) -- do I need to wipe the new ball after every throw? Been doing it...

You can if thats all you have. I use a different one.
Some say you should, some say you don't.(I used to do that with my rubber ball) -- do I need to wipe the new ball after every throw? Been doing it...
Kind of a personal preference, I do it's part of my routine. I hold the towel in my bowling hand when I pick up my ball so I don't get any oil on my hand if any on the surface. Then give the ball spin on the towel. Every little bit you might get off helps.

you can find bundles of microfiber towels at auto parts stores,Menards, Home depoit etc.
God! I'm such a noob with these new balls! Do the ball surfaces dictate that it has to be microfiber? Or can I just use old cotton hand towels from the kitchen?
I have been on both sides. Had been using my towel as part of my pre-shot routine for years and then our team had a conversation about wiping the ball off after every frame. One did not wipe as his thought and what his dad(won several PBA Senior tour titles) had always told him was that wiping after every shot removes oil from the lane, thus the line gets depleted even quicker. So, I thought that made perfect sense and I stopped wiping after every shot to give it a try. Honestly, I don't think I noticed a difference except that my pre-shot routine had changed.
When I went to my coaching session back in June with Susie Minshew, we discussed it and I told her about not wiping the ball and the reason for not doing so. She told me, that's all fine and good, but what about lane debris on the ball that it's picked up going down the lane, not just oil? I thought for a second and this also made sense to me. If there is debris on the ball, it could possibly alter the roll of the ball on the track area, so I started betting back into my routine of wiping.
