Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a bowling ball need cleaning?

As you bowl, the ball soaks up oil from the lane, and that oil works its way into the tiny pores of the cover. The buildup gradually dulls the ball's grip and weakens its hook, sometimes so slowly you do not notice until the reaction feels off. Cleaning pulls that oil back out, so the ball keeps responding the way it was designed to from the first frame to the last.

Is the Life After Death cleaner approved for competition?

Yes. It carries USBC approval, so it is legal both before and during sanctioned play. Check your specific league rules to be sure.

How often should I clean my ball?

A quick wipe after every session goes a long way, and a deeper clean every few games helps even more. The more you bowl and the heavier the oil on your lanes, the more your ball will benefit from regular attention.

What is the difference between a cleaner and a polish?

A cleaner removes oil and dirt from the cover to restore the ball's natural reaction and keep it gripping the lane the way it should. A polish does something different, smoothing and shining the surface, which can extend how far the ball travels before it hooks and add a little pop on the back end. The two work toward different goals, so the right pick depends on the reaction you are after. Many bowlers keep both on hand and reach for whichever the lane and the shot call for that day.

What does a microfiber pad do?

The Big Amazing BAM pad and others like it lift oil and grime off the cover without scratching it. The soft layers grab debris during cleaning or between shots, making them a simple, reusable part of any ball-care kit.
