I remember we HATED that guy. The guy who used an ancient ball that was soo oil soaked that the machines wouldnt' grab it to return it.  After about 3 weeks of constant ball return calls, I got a new one.
I've opened equipment to bowl that had been sitting in the hot car all day and the oil was thick on the ball. |
Haha! Don't give up on the old stuff. I was bowling a tournament last year in a dungeon of a center and made it to the championship match. The lanes were way burned out and all my newer stuff was pretty much unusable (especially with the over the top ball returns). I sent my wife home to the basement to grab my old Cobalt Rhino (yes-shiny, oil-soaked urethane). The thing didn't wrinkle...was it a good choice? Let's just say I chalked up a 2nd place finish. lol
