Actually the article said in one place that Brunswick has no opinions regarding other methods at this time. We haven't used Hook Again yet, admittedly, but due to the nature of physics, Hook Again seems safer to begin with because it operates on the ball at room temperature. The heat of the Rejuvenator, whether it seemed to directly hurt the balls or not, does have an effect on them. I'm definitely not arguing that it's not effective. I have to admit to not knowing what temperature the Rejuvenator operates at. I shouldn't think that anything over 90-100 degrees would be needed unless you're incredibly impatient. My boss has a B.S. (you'd be surprised how well that term fits him . .) in Chemical Engineering, and says that whether or not both techniques work, the Hook Again in his mind is the safer way to ensure longevity in the durability of the ball. The jury is still out on Hook Again, of course, but it would seem that if it works as advertised, it would be the safer way. I'm not a fan of Ebonite at all, even less after having owned one of their balls recently, and I throw almost all Brunswick (I haven't thrown anything but Fuzes this year so far), so I'm inclined to listen to what Brunswick has to say as far as their equipment goes.

HAH! I don't know ANYBODY now!
Being in adult leagues teaches you many things.
1. You're not on top anymore, but there are a lot more people that suck worse than you do now.
2. The myth about the youths having an easier shot is NOT TRUE. I'd have an entire ring collection if it was.
3. Drunk adults are a lot funnier than drunk youths.
