The boy is "gifted," that's all I can say. I can have a ball and throw it for a few to hundreds of games, and it'll be fine. I've got a Detonator with 600+ games on it, and although it doesn't hook as much as it used to, it doesn't sweat any oil period. I have other balls like this too. However, all I have to do is give a ball to my brother, and it will be SOAKED inside 10 games. It'll start sweating in the middle of his league. All I do to my stuff is wipe it off thoroughly after every shot, and occasionally sand or polish it. He wipes the ball off after every shot as well, (although I think he just spreads the oil all over the ball more than anything), but rarely has me work on the surface. I gave him a ball to get my Blueberry back, he's thrown it less than 40 games, mind you, and I bled the sucker for 3 hours. It's in flat out PERFECT shape now, but I have no idea how my brother does it. He did the same thing to a Scream/R, a Purple Monster, an Orange Flame, and a Red Alert SE. There never seems to be any oil in my equipment, no matter how long I throw any of them, yet he can work miracles and turn anything into a sponge.
