Total NV tracking up
« on: March 28, 2007, 04:36:42 AM »
Has anyone noticed that the Total NV tracks up pretty fast?  I have about 20 games on mine and can already notice a track burning into the surface.

How about bowling on some oil.  If any ball is tracking fast then you're bowling on dirt.  Keep up by polishing the ball.  Tacking is caused on wood surface and brunt track caused on syn surfaces

staying on the subject of the thread...

I too am seeing a track developing and notice the ball is hooking much sooner than when I bought it.

However, I want to polish it to keep it up but I only own Black Magic polish and Brunswick High Gloss Factory Finish Polish. I'm being cheap, is it wise to use either of the polishes to get the ball closer to its 'original' finish?

I have 30 or more games on my TNV and use Ebonite Energizer spray cleaner with a micro fiber towel after each set and mine still looks fine. I do not see a track on it at all.

well, mine is starting to move waaay to early for me.

I wanna polish it but I wanna use one of the two polishes I have if they will get the ball back, or close to its original reaction.  I've seen multiple posters say their TNVs are getting stronger.  I think I've tried throwing the ball on conditions it's not meant for to speed up the process of 'sanding the ball down'.

I would use Ebonite products on the ball if it where me

Here is the cleaner:

Here is the polish:

http://www.ebonite.com/products/detail.php?PRKey=147

There are several different Ebonite polishes and have used a couple of them and always been happy with the results.. I am sure other polish can be used, but I try to use what was originally put on the ball when it was new..

Thanks to all.  
I am using the Ebonite cleaner but have to get some of the Ebonite Factory Polish.  Bowling on synthetic lanes so they must be worn down some.

I believe the TNV gets stronger the more it's "broke in". That's what I've found anyway.

I've heard this somewhere before, maybe some can elaborate.

Doesn't the surface of the lane (not sure if its wood or syn) actually brings the ball surface to about 800 grit after quite some games? Could be wrong, who knows.
