Agent "kinda" dying... help
« on: September 12, 2006, 02:32:47 AM »
well its been few months since i ve been playin with my agent, and now i think right now the reaction of the ball is far away from the first day...

during the last couple of weeks my style has changed a lot, 2handed release playing 15 to 5, high revs and medium speed.

at the beginning the agent was too aggressive for me, sometimes unpredictable reactions... but now it must stay in the bag till 3-4 games.

my question is, what should i do to bring back the original reaction (or close to it)?
--------------------
I go two-handed, and i hate stupid 10pins! cuz my 12lb spare ball hooks too much!

Put the ball in a bucket with hot tap water and a splash of dish washer or multi purpose cleaner and extract with a 30min bath.

Then you should bring back the surface back to OOB status, 1.500 grit sanded plus polish. You can do this at home, but a spinner and prof. materials recommended, and a cheap service at a pro shop.

Later, wipe the ball frequentkly during use and clean it frequently (after each session) to avoid further oil absorbtion.

To de-oil the ball Columbia also makes a product called "CPR" that is a powdery stuff that will supposedly get in the pores to get the oil out.

Also, a good polish to use to keep your ball in OOB condition is Storm's Reacta Shine.

But yes, clean with a ball cleaner after each use and wipe the ball off with a towel while you are playing.
