No problem. There's a reason food thaws quicker under cold running water vs a counter top at room temperature.  Get and ice cube and try it under cold running water then at room temp or an oven. Its very interesting.

My vid will be edited and up in the morning.

I checked out the vid. Nice work. I wish I had your video production skills.


You definitely proved the fastest method for melting an ice cube. I'm not a scientist, so I don't know if demonstrating methods for melting ice absolutely translates to efficiency in oil extraction. For the sake of argument, I'll accept the principle -- heat transfer through water is a more efficient transfer method than heat through air.


But what I'm equally interested in is final effectiveness. Elapsed time aside, are you saying that water based methods will extract more oil from the ball than air?? In other words, if you evaluate the Brunswick study and their conclusions:

Would they have reported more effective results if they had used a water based method instead of controlled hot air in a ball oven?? Given Brunswick's conclusions, I'm not sure there is much room for a more positive outcome, but I'd like to hear your insights.

Ultra sonic cleaning basically uses frequencies to create microscopic bubbles that expand and collapse on themselves to clean an object.  The size of the bubble is controlled by what frequency is used.  This technique is used to clean or penetrate into spaces that other cleaning methods cannot get into.  Since bowling balls are very porous, ultra sonic is a great way to deep clean the oil and dirt from the pores of a ball.  If you have ever had your jewelry or watches cleaned they will be put into an ultra sonic bath.  It is also widely used in many other fields such as plastics, medical, electronic, and automotive to name a few.

I will always recommend taking bowling balls to your favorite pro shop to be serviced and taken care of.  Our company and others that sell similar items have all developed great products to help bowlers bowl better.  We feel that the Detox does a great job and have been extremely happy with the results.  For those that like to DIY at home, I feel that the water bucket method is the easiest to control the temp and does the best at home job.  The water bucket method I believe was first recommended by MoRich several years ago for people that wanted to take better care of their equipment at home.  Even for those that like to do this, I would still recommend to take your ball into a pro shop every other DIY time to use their professional oil extraction method that is specifically designed for bowling balls. 

"Detox figjam time"
I just recently Detoxed a DV8 Ruckus after I was noticing some reaction loss and the need to square up more to use it.  After Detoxing I had 3 800 sets and 3 300s including the back 20 strikes and the front 17 strikes the next week.  I was able to open up a lane like when the ball was new and the ball was driving thru the pins like new.  Sorry for the figjam, but I feel the reaction gained from the Detox helped me in shooting these scores.

Hopefully everyone will get a chance to try this new product out soon and determine the results for themselves.  From the people that we have used the Detox on, they all have been very impressed with the results.  I'm always happy if I can make another bowler happy, whether it be thru training, technology or scores.

Best Regards to all,
