Seems like everybody talks about ball death but I just have not experienced it myself.

I have never had a ball that I quit using because I felt it quit hooking enough.

Iâ€™ve had balls (original X-Calibur, Red Pulses) I quit using because I resurfaced them so many times the labels were gone and the pinsetter had trouble picking them up.

But I have never had trouble getting the ball to hook so I have never been into getting the real hook monsters either.

I feel 80% of ball death is really I want a new ball fever in the bowler.

Tony, I'm not going to argue this myth thing any longer. Everyone including you and myself have differing opinions and aren't going to change, so we best just let it lay.....I do have one question for you though, if balls die, then how do you explain my Forrest Green Quantum still being alive and as strong today (10 years later) as it was the day I took it out of the box in 1994?

As for solid particles, I won't argue either way as I never had a heavy load particle. I have had one light load solid particle (AMF Angle Evolution Extra)
of which I still use today and it remains strong. Other than scheduled good ball maintenance, I have done nothing else to it other than I have sat it out in the sun a couple times, but could still not see any change in it's reaction. As for Particle Pearls, they seem to last forever for me (same as Reactive Pearls) without any loss in performance, so that is why I don't believe in the ball death myth.
