I own:
XXXL - oldest and after some polishing still running; well what else to expect from plastic
; The ball was drilled Jan2006!
Tsunami - only 2 weaks "younger" (Feb2006) - still working fine cause I keep my stuff clean
H2O - same as Tsunami yet very short in my possesion
BCB - got it used (I think I am the 3rd one to own the ball)... was in "good" shape yet had some oil in it - extensive deoiling did the trick and the ball is a beast again!
Every 4 weeks I give my balls a nice hot water bath and the ones that are polished oob I repolish them with Beans secret sauce whenn I get the feeling they roll too early.
All balls work fine and are tacky and nothing about "dying"; as far as I understand solids soak up oil faster and it also depends on the material a lot!
(don't
Imho there is not such a thing as dying!
It all depends on how you maintain your equipment: deoiling and repolishing/resurfacing is the key
There seem to be some balls that are very frustrating about that - NoMercy seems to be such a ball and from what I have heard so far the TNV seems to be also a bugger - but I cannot comment on that as I only had my Tsunami longer than year.
Short: Keep your balls clean and in good condition and they will never die! (imho)
