More oil
« on: September 01, 2016, 04:51:44 PM »
Had first night of league last night.  Last year my eternal cell turned the corner nice but last night it was not making its typical move to the pocket.  Center said they put down a little more oil this year.  Shouldn't notice it they say.  I don't believe it.  What other storm or roto grip ball would I go to.  I like the look of the no rules but would it be too strong.  How many more boards of hook would it be than the eternal cell?  Any suggestions.

I soaked the ball in a bucket of hot soapy water awhile ago.  Pulled out some oil.  Had the ball about a year now.  Keep it clean.  Is a detox better than hot water?

"Detox" or ball ovens seem to work much better than hot water baths, from what I have seen.
BUT
refreshing the surface or a total resurfacing, when necessary, is as important as de-oiling an oil-soaked ball in order to maintain close to the out-of-the-box performance.
