Today during my senior league, a Senior bowler walked up to me and asked if I wanted to sell my Storm Rapid Fire Solid. Since I liked that ball one day and didn't the next, and etc, I have never became comfortable with it so I told him I might, how much would he gave me for it. He made an offer and I accepted it and handed it to him on the spot.
After bowling, I went to the Pro Shop and ordered a Gamebreaker hoping it will compliment my Playmaker.

Keep it clean and you'll love the ball. The cover soaks oil in so there's a bit more work to it than other balls. I think my wife would trade me off before she'd get rid of her's.
Azguy, this is the main thing that concerned me, but with the perfect match-up for me and success I am having with the Playmaker I just had to try the Gamebreaker also. I clean my balls very religously after every bowling session with Ultimate Black Magic Rejuvenator. I don't just spray the ball lightly and wipe off like many people do....I spray the ball heavy enough that the cleaner starts to run off. I then let it sit until I start to see signs of evaporation and then wipe it off. On pearl balls, I clean with Clean & Dull every 25-30 games and on solids I clean with it every 15 games or so.
I have just now begun to try Valentino's new "Remedy RX" ball cleaner, so I don't know yet if it removes oil as well as the Black Magic Rejuvenator or not, but it does do a super job of making the ball surface tacky. Best I have seen.
What method do you use to keep your wife's Gamebreaker as free of oil as possible?

Gazoo, that is what happened when I got an AMF Heist early this year. I just gave it to a Senior bowler last week that badly needed a ball but couldn't afford one and I was ready to buy another Heist but decided to try the Gamebreaker first because I have always been a fan of the V2 core and I love the new Playmaker I got 3 weeks ago. My Playmaker is threatening to send my Brunswick Twisted Fury to the closet. For a 14# ball, a person would think it weighed 16# for as hard as it hits the pins and makes them mix. That ball retains a ton of energy for the back end. I am hoping the Gamebreaker will do likewise.

There's no excuse not to own one.

I use CPR every now and then but Abzorb-It is cheaper and works just as well.
