Maybe some of you have noticed that i am playing often with my brother. He is using an Angular i told him not to do but he don't listen to me. So the time has come the ball stops hooking like the infinite one before. For i have a spinner and he is not i try to help him out. The hole thing cost me about a week with try and error and at last we figured what was wrong. Step by step.

1. We try the warm water bath method. After 4 times for half an hour each time, the ball came alive but there was nothing to see of the former great backend reaction.
2. We try to take the polish off so go down to 1000 then 2000 and finally to 4000 grid. Doing this i noticed that on the track the polish was already worn off (keep this one in mind). After we took it to 1000 we gave him another set of warm bathing. Still no change the ball hooks but the backend reaction was not there.
3. We videotaped a set and after that we noticed that the ball lost almost most of the power before it could do his backend action. So we put just a little bit of polish on it and OUTCH! That ball comes back STRONGER than ever.

I am still not a Ebonite Fan but this worked so i wanted to share it with you. Maybe some of the many Angulars that people consider dead are still "sleeping" for worn of polish. So don't give up after warm bathing try some surface maintenance maybe you are using it on to dry conditions.

Thank you for reading this bad english.
