Have any of you tried putting your ball in a product called Quick dry.
Its a product that you put on spills of liquid to dry them up.
I think its something like Oil dry over there in the USA.
It looks like cat litter and actually feels a bit like it too. It seems to dry out your hands in a split second when you handle it.
I put my Shock Trauma in it for about 24 hours.I used a bucket making sure that all of the ball was covered. After the 24 hours I took the ball out and cleaned it as usual. It was super tacky and seemed to have a much better reaction on the lanes.
I may refil my hand dry bags with this stuff as it really does dry your hands fast.
If anyone has tried it or still use it what do you think. I was quite supprised.

Ive heard about using kitty litter to remove oil.  and as for that ebonite hook again product, i don't really know how it works.  but i do like their theory on ball death.  it actually makes sence .

Exactly what I did 1fife.
Did you have a really high polished look to the ball after you took it out of the Oil Dry and then cleaned it?
I use Reaction Plus by Track and a little orange oil to remove the final bit of dust off the Reaction Plus.
I started to use this combination only just after using the Oil dry so Im not sure which has given me the fantastic finish on my ball.
All I know is that it looks fantastic and is really tacky and give me a great reaction on the lanes.
Mind you it does help that Im having some coaching as to the reaction on the lane.
