Assuming you get it re-surfaced every 100 games. When does a ball stop hooking?

How many times can you get resurfaced?

How many games do you have racked on your Hammers?

When did you retire it?

I'm starting to bowl alot, about 15+ games a week. I'm just wondering if I'm going to be buying new balls every couple months.

If you wipe the ball after everysingle frame with a mircofibre towel not a normal towel, clean it once everysingle week with ebonite energizer cleaner and resurface maybe everysingle 6 months, the ball should last a long time

Thanks for the infor on the BW. What about a Hammer Blue Vibe? Would the same routine work in order to keep the ball in good condition? Thanks

Read this thread about cleaning. We need sticky threads on this board...

You're right. I wonder if we could get someone to do a "Bowling Ball Maintenance Tutorial" and get it stickied by HammerMod...

Been wanting to write something up. Maybe a few photos...
Some good links, maybe some videos. Now that my camcorder is talking to my computer again.

Thats a good thread above, also search these forums.

Go for it and PM HammerMod. Maybe he can get it worked out. If not, we can just bump the topic every couple of days so it would stay near the top.

I have thought about a sticky or do a website. Wouldn't mind either... could sticky here and when I get a website up post it there.
