Micro Fiber Towel
« on: December 04, 2003, 02:13:31 AM »
Help me out guys.....and gals

Where , and what exact kind of micro fiber towel should I get. I remember a post here quite a long time ago, I guess I should search, but,........maybe I will, but refresh my memory....

EDIT: I did a search on 120 days,...nothing

I remember the Owl (charlest) was involved......there's a certain type of micro fiber towel that's best for balls.....

EDIT 2: Found it....search on entire year!

Wow, nice scores.  That must be one hard-hitting towel.  I got to get me one of those.  How do you have yours drilled up?    j/k

What sizes do these microfiber towels come in?  


Anywhere from 13"x13" to 16"x16"; they can shrink with hot water washing - no big deal.

I got some from costco. I got either 8 or 12 for $9.95 in the cleaning section. They were easter egg colors - light pink, lavender, baby blue, light yellow - but they work great.
Costco had discontinued that particular item last I checked, but they were waiting to get a new packaging arrangement that offered more towels...

I rotate them in and out of my bag. I always have 2 in there. They're still kicking hard after a year of use.


Mumzie,

Be careful. If these came from 3M, they can be 100% polyester; they are wonderful for cleaning things as they are very soft, but they are terrible for soaking up oil or water. These I use for eyeglasses (plastic that cannot be scratched) and cleaning CDs & DVDs (which must not be sctarched).

The ones I know that work for bowling (for absorbing AND wiping clean) are 70% polyester and 30% polyamide, as I mentioned above.

I found today at Kmart a 2 pack for 4.99 from Viking Car Cleaning Products,  I called their 800 number before I purchased them, and confirmed that they were 70/30.......so I'm going to give one a shot tomorrow at mixed league....

It didn't say it on the package, but the company did pull the records and gave me the mix....thank God for cell phones !

I got mine at Wal-Mart today.  Package of 5 for $4.86 and tax.  They're 14 x 14 and 70%polyester and 30% polyamide.  3 blue, 2 white.  I can't wait to see how dirty the white ones get.

This material is the weirdest thing I've ever felt.  Soft and sort of scratchy at the same time

I cut the tag off of my towel. Local association is looking into the situation, someone claimed my towel is now illegal. It seems that my towel has too much side weight and my scores may be in jeopardy.

I took my daughter to practice this afternoon after watching Mika throw three bills on TV (inspiration, ya know)

I brought my brand new micro-fiber towel to give it a test run.  I concentrated on playing 15 since I don't get to play there that often in league.

200-243-189 / 632.

It's gotta be the towel!

If you want a FREE microfiber towel you can get one in the month of December by ordering 3 bottles of Elixir at the standard price and we will throw in a FREE microfiber towel along with FREE flip top caps if you want them.

All you have to do is go to my website and order 3 bottles and then under comments list that you are a ballreviews member and tell us your Ballreview name and that you want the special deal going on.  You even get shipping by priority mail.
