Good News & Bad News
« on: February 24, 2004, 05:53:17 PM »
The Good News:
Since I bought the Anomaly I have been averaging 216 with it after 6 sets (18 games).  Only have had 4 games under 200 with the lowest of those being 191.  This ball has really improved my average.

The Bad News:
Last night, I pulled the Anomaly out and it wouldn't wrinkle.  Same thing when I switched to my Vendetta Particle.  I found out that they were trying a new oil pattern out which was around 50 feet in length and the out of bounds was between the 1st arrow and the gutter.  Basically, no backends at all!  People with the Fear Factor, Raging Inferno, Colossus, Re-Loaded, etc. were also having the same problem as me...the balls would not move an inch!

Anyways, to make a long story short, I shot a crappy 530 (which I was lucky to shoot considering many were 500 or below for the night).  I want to clean my Anomaly since I have yet to do so (it's not dull anymore...it's kind of shiney) and was wondering if I should use Track's Clean 'N' Dull or just use Dawn soap and water?

Thanks in advance.

Quit talking like that.  You are making me very jealous.
I wish we had enough oil to throw particle stuff.

The cleaning method is a personal choice.

I am not an avid fan of the dish soap and water method
so for me it would be the spray on cleaner.

A 50 feet pattern is long almost regardless of how much oil they put down. And like it has been stated by others here on numerous occasions; nothing really moves on really heavy oil.

I suggest you wipe with a towel between each throw and clean with diluted household cleaner afterwards.
