Is there even a track on the ball? Hard to imagine on an Activator ball unless you bowl on some poor lane surfaces.

how many games have you thrown with it ? if your raging inferno is dull brunswick recommends putting it in the rejuvinator to extract the oil appx. every 50-60 games. if it's polished it should be done about every 75-100 games. does the ball have a visible track ? if you resurface the ball and return the coverstock to factory condition plus use the rejuvinator you should have a ball that is almost brand new.

Yes it does have a somewhat visible track
And yes it is in the dull, factory finish,
I have way over 100 games on it,
so you say I resurface it and put it in the oil extraction machine?
thank u

has it lost its reaction? That should be the only time you need to resurface it. If its still going strong, no need.

find a reputable pro shop and have them resurface the ball---preferably using a haus type resurfacing machine. have them take it down as far as necessary to remove all the visable wear and tear and then have them take it back up in ever increasing finer grits to your preference. also have them extract the oil in the rejuvinator and have them clean it and you're ready.
