Ball Care: Dos and Don'ts.



Don't store your ball in extremely hot or cold places. Leaving balls in the car or trunk during hot summer hours can lead to cracking and core separations.

Use a
ball carrier to transport your ball to avoid accidental mishandling.

Wipe oil build-up off your ball regularly with a towel or have it polished. This will maximize performance by keeping the pores from being blocked by dirt and limit the amount of oil that can be absorbed into the coverstock.

Don't intenionally drop your ball on hard surfaces.

Resufacing: The track of the balls will become scratched and will require resurfacing after 60 to 80 games. Resurfacing should be done using a ball spinner in order to achieve a uniform surface. Sand the ball with 220 or 320 grit sandpaper to remove deep scratches followed by 400 and 600 grit to bring the ball back to factory dull finish. Factory-polished balls requires an extra step. After sanding, it needs to be polished.
