I believe that Doc's Elixer helps keep oil out of a ball, as I've seen it with my own eyes. But when balls get a bunch of games on them, how does the ball still hook? The individual particle tips would have to be worn down something terrible? Right? Even with a rescuffing every now and then, still the tips would have to be in pitiful shape, correct? To the point that even if there's no oil at all in the ball, the ball still won't hook because the tips have been worn down so bad.

Yup; ya got that right.

Which is why, in addition to oil extraction, there is a point in most particle ball's life where you need to rejeuvenate the particles.

UNLESS you use Lanemasters new balls, The New Standard and the Yeah, Baby! which use industrial diamonds as the particles to provide the gripping surface. Diamonds may last longer than other particles.

I just read initial reviews of these two balls in the latest issue of Bowling This Month (A STRONGLY recommended read for all bowlers!) and they seem to offer extreme potential. I am awaiting my New Standard (as a gratis replacement for the Answer, which turned out to be an improperly manufactured ball).
