I'm better than all of you.
« on: February 13, 2004, 06:41:33 PM »
Good, I fooled you.  Now help me.

OK, so I finally soaked my SmashR and Diesel particle.  The first game of practice, I could finally see my track....I bowled another game of practice, then started up league.  As soon as I started the first game, I noticed that I couldn't see the oil any more!  The stupid balls had already filled up again!  MY reaction was different, and I did horrible.  So what I'm saying is, what the heck can I do to stop this?  Even if i stopped practicing, they would still soak up oil by the second game....I'm at a loss here, since it throws me off, and I get no flare....

how many games are on the balls in question?balls will soak up oil but usually it's the track that dries up on the lanes and the shot changes all the time.as for a ball dieing,I've only had one that I felt was losing reaction.one night after bowling I loaded up my bag in the back of the pickup and forgot to zip the bag up and this ball rolled around in the back with a few pieces of scrap cement board for a few turns.needless to say it was pretty ugly after that.I ended up resurfacing the thing starting up with 80 grit and working on up to 1200 and it's now as good as new.

My Smashr has probably 120+ games, not sure about the Diesel.

I couldn't even finish the first game before the track was gone, and it doesn't help since I'm also trying to figure out my PAP.

Are there any other ways (free) to reverse this?  If not, I guess I'll buy the elixir.

FWIW, can't scientifically prove how it works.  I've had some success putting the balls in kitty litter and letting them set for about a week.  Seems to be about the same process as the hook again system from Ebonite.

Worth a try, only costs about $2.  Let me know your results.

No, i didn't say it's dead, it's just that every time i use my stuff, the oil gets absorbed almost immediately, and after a few games, starts to loose some reaction.  If i thought it was dead, I'd just soak it (again.)

Kitty Litter?......Okay.....

No, the balls are reacting a bit less, actually.  I had to slow down my shot by 2 mph.  Do reverse blocks transition differently?  I don't think that has to do with anything, but I'm curious anyways.
