Nothing particularly wrong with that.
Good idea that's usually what the summer season is for. When it gets close to the fall season start, you get that new ball and get the feel for it and the cover broke in some.But I also decided the last time I bought a ball that I would not do it in the middle of a league season because it seems to take me 3 months or so to figure out how to get a new ball to work with (or for) me.
Have you other balls de-oiled, grips replaced have any resurfacing done and your ready for the start of league and tournament season.
Depends on what is meant by "wore out".So I am looking for a new ball and talked to the pro shop guy. He made a statement that made me wonder if it is true and it went something like "all bowling balls seem to 'wear out' after at most two years". Is this a reasonable statement?
As time pass's the conditions change, what your bowling on now is not what it was when you got that ball and how you bowl now with it has changed since then and even with proper ball maintenance a balls reaction can change some but that doesn't mean they are wore out and not usable.
You just have find where it fits in your arsenal now.
You know can get the balance hole plugged and still use it?I need to get a new ball because my current ball will not be valid for USBC bowling due to a balance hole that was drilled shortly after I got it. So it is not only that it seems to have lost it's zip for me but it is a mandatory change.
For the most part, most people won't really see that big of a difference if at all. A big part of the holes drilled were just to make them legal, not to change reaction.
Just get the hole plugged, de-oil it and have it resurfaced and stick some new grips in it. The ball would be perfectly usable, Just see what conditions it matches up best with.
