The Death of a Bowling Ball...

How does putting your ball in water do anything? What is the reasoning behind doing that? I only ask because I have never heard of such a thing.

Reactive resin bowling balls have big pores compared the their ancestors. These pores soak up oil with every roll. Soaking in hot water with some Dawn dishwashing liquid helps remove the deep oil in the coverstock. Its' this deep oil that dulls polished balls and shines dull balls. There's a thread on here about all the how's and why's so this was just the quick version.

Your quick explaination works for me. I think i'm going to do some research into this and learn more off of here rather than turn this into a topic that was already coverd. Thanks.
