Im some what of a newbie but i was just wondering how do i keep my ball as polished as it was the day i got it. ive thrown about 50 games on it in a 2 week period and its been snaping a littel less every 10 games or so.

every now and then i wipe it betweent throws. is there a cheap way to clean and maintain it so it will stay polished. when i first had the ball it snapped like a banshee. It still snaps but it doesnt seem quite as hard.

please help
