the best way to maintain this ball besides cleaning after every practice session, league, or tournament is:
1) have the oil extracted from this ball with the rejuvinator---how often ? if your smash/r is dull like from the factory, every 50 games or so. if it's polished, every 100 games.
2) you will need to keep up the coverstock preparation----if it's dull, keep it dull with sandpaper, scotch-brite pads, or abralon pads. if it's polished, keep it polished. brunswicks factory finish high gloss polish works great.
3) resurface the ball with a haus-type machine every 100 games or so.
