    Great tip! Also remember if you put your microfiber towels in the dryer, don't put any fabric softener in with them.

    I'm not too sure, I just take my equipment to my local pro shop and he does it for about 5$

    I just let it hang and air dry. maybe turn a fan on directed at it and it's fine

    I seem to have that problem too. it's really not THAT big of a deal though. just sit the ball with the finger holes facing down and gravity takes care of the majority of the water. a little blowing in them, and then just let it sit. as long as your not bowling that day with the ball it shouldn't be a big deal

    That's a disaster waiting to happen!

    That temperature is way too high and you shouldn't bake one in the oven in the first place.

    Here's what happens!!

    yea you really should be careful about that. I wouldn't totally say no to doing it, but I wouldn't go over 150 in a regular oven, and still check it every few minutes

    Would anyone recommend putting a urethane ball in direct Texas sunlight? That will definitely heat it up.
    If so, for how long, and what should one look for and do after it has been out there long enough?
