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.
