inmate Bowlers?

Pete,

I personally use Black Magic, Lane One, or Clean N' Dull after each ball has been used and before it goes back in the bag. This seems to keep the balls performing very well.

When they get to the point where they have a pretty good track I take it to my favorite pro shop to have them throw it on the spinner and clean it up.

I too, would love to have my own spinner here at the house. I'd play a lot more then I already do with different polish and abralon pads.

I have been bowling in a Monday night league for the past 5 years. I am currently carrying a 187 average. I throw a 15lb Track Mean Machine and I managed to put up my first 700 of the year a couple of weeks ago (705).

Well I subbed on the Tuesday night league last night - lanes were dry as crap. Typical night as of late - 188 first game - 245 the second game and a freakin 163 the third game. I can't buy a 600 it seems.

Thanks for all the advice on cleaning. I didn't think leaving it in the car was such a great idea. My Pro-shop guy is pretty good so I am sure I can get him to throw it on the spinner. and I'll see what he has for cleaners and select something from the ones you guys have listed.

With tomorrow being Christmas I will have my new ball and so will my son so we will probably go throw them this weekend. Thanks again.

This is the first winter in 16 years I'm not bowling a league. I've bowled as many as 3 a year for a few years. We were bowling in a $10,000 league at the start of the year, got to week 10 and one of the guys quit. With the combination of $25 a week and finding a decent enough bowler to fill his spot and be competitive, we ended up having to quit the league.

Generally between 185 and 200 avg. Hight game is 289 and high series is 724.
