When Does Reactive Resin Die?

[martin]

You might give resurfacing a try and have it taken back to the O.O.B. surface. (which is 500/rough buff)
((which means its sanded with a 500 abralon pad followed by brunswick Rough Buff))

Also Clean'N Dull is a good deep cleaner, I have used it for years. But it doesn't make a ball dull, the name is a little misleading. It leaves shiny balls shiny and dull balls dull.

maybe i can try that..

hmm i see.. but my ball used to be more shiny than now.. maybe it's because of the long usage and not the cleaner i guess..

I can relate to your problem. I had a Alien that had lots of punch and kick into the pocket when NEW, but now less then 6 months later flat. I even had a good friend that is a cranker throw it and he had the same conclusion. (The ball just died)! Same thing with a mutant cell ball, great kick going into the pocket, but after several months it died.
I have had the oil removed, sanded with various girds, polished, you name it. I now use them as my spare balls. Work just as well as my cheap plastic. I always clean my balls, as every many should after using them, I even wipe them after each throw. So I wish I knew the secret as to why they became dead and limp going into the pocket!

I clean my balls with standard reactive ball cleaner after every set, have never had a ball die on me.

I have given up on the VG... I am now the proud owner of a Crossroad.

maybe even with that many games, my ball is not really dead after all.. went bowling last sunday.. since the finger holes felt loose, changed them from my other ball to the anaconda.. and it works! the ball is reacting as it should.. seems like the finger inserts are the ones that were "finished" and causing me not getting the "lift" on the ball, thus that lack of hook..

I've read the poster in the pro shop stating that once every 60 games or a couple of months you should change the finger plug as the plug gets sink in after a long usage..
