I'm trying to figure out if I should change it or not....
I first got the ball.. I was standing on 2nd dot.. rolling over 2nd arrow
went and purchased a Mongoose lifter wrist support
since then depending on lanes...
Middle dot,rolling over 2nd arrow
today I was 1 1/2 dots right off middle rolling over 2nd arrow...
is this due to dryer lane conditions or just the opposite ?
sorry.. I'm not up with all this tech stuff yet.. never knew it was so involved. LOL..

not really any problems per say.. was just wondering about my ball set-up as far as how it was drilled... My biggest question is what would be the best way of getting oil out of it... Read about baking/soaking.. Whats Brunswick recommended way without damaging my ball ? Thats my biggest concern..
I wipe it off after every shot.. and clean it with Liquid Nitro when I'm done..
LOL.. I am trying to post my questions so as you guys can understand what the heck I'm asking...

You really don't have to worry too much about oil absorbtion with this particular ball. It is a "weaker" reactive resin which absorbs less oil than high load particles(goliath) and stronger resins(inferno line).
I personally soak my balls in a large bucket with hot water but nothing near scolding. I generally use water that I can put and keep my hand in. The ball sits in the bucket for 15 minutes in, 15 out. I put in fresh water and do it again. I haven't had any problems up to this point. I don't cover the finger/thumb holes, others do, whatever your preference is. Just let the ball dry completely before use.

Redneck's subject is the "Proactive P.G.", not the pearl resin. I suppose it could be the Plum Pearl proactive, but it could also be the black solid dull (400 grit) particle. The black should absorb oil like a freakng sponge absorbs water!
Redneck, which "proactive" PG do you have?
agroves describes part of the water & dishsoap method. Many pro shops also have oil extraction machines. Ask around your local centers and see if any local pro shops have one. It should be $20 - 25. Some pro shops have the Ebonite "Hook Again" set-up which might also work.

OK.. Yes it is the black sparkle PG.. {400 grit wet sanded}
agroves.. I did find out that it is drilled for heavy oil.. according to the chart brunswick has on it... 1L flipped for LH

Ok, the guys have given you plenty of advice on how to do some oil extraction. I strongly urge you, given this ball's VERY rough surface, to buy several micro-fiber towels to wipe off your ball after every toss. By the way, unless you need that strong surface because you throw less revs OR you face a lot of oil, I'd suggest you could make it more controllable (hook a little less) by adding as slight polish to it.
Micro-fiber towels are available all over the place: Costco, BJs, Home Depot, K-mart, Wal-Mart. They should be farily cheap, like $1.00 each in bundles of 5 to 20. Make sure you get the ones that are labeled, 70% polyester, 30% polyamide. They absorb great. The ones that are labelled 100% polyester are great for cleaning but do not absorb anything. Wash them with plain laundry soap; do not use fabric softeners or anti-static stuff like Bounce.

Buy a small bottle of polish and apply it yourself. No sense taking a chance of ruining the ball.
