Bowling/Polishing the ball

Question
Chip, you commented in a previous response I should be prepared to throw the ball out of the box hard unless it was polished.  I understand now.  Can you recommend a polish?  How often should the ball be polished and are directions on polishing the ball on the can?  I'm a once a week bowler but I sometimes bowl on the weekend.  Your comments please and thanks again for all your input.

Answer
Unless you have a ball spinner at home, you wont be able to polish the ball with any of the products by hand.  If you have a pro shop polish the ball first so all you have to do is maintain it, then any of the ball polishes on the market would do.  I use the ebonite polish here along with the storm polish as well.  Neo-tac renew it works as well.

Good luck,
Chip
