You can get this product here

Reading the comments here it seems to me that too many people are quick to jump on this fellow. For almost as long as reactive balls have been around, there have been 'restoration' products and people have debated their usefulness. Ebonite introduced one of the first products that required the entire ball to be encased and I believe the product looked like wood chips/shavings. People also put their bowling balls into ovens to bleed the oil out of them both at home and using specialized equipment or filled a box with cat litter to try and draw out the oil. I ran a pro shop in a 74 lane house for years and in that time I was never able to conclude whether any of these things were effective but I never criticized anything I didn't feel was harmful or fraudulent. Ronald Hickland seems to me like a man who loves the game and enthusiastically posts videos for people to enjoy, so what's the problem? If you don't agree with his opinions- fine, don't use his advice. But there's no need to go beyond a polite, respectful dissenting opinion.

I dont bowl, have my own ball or shoes, yet I know how to renew a ball. The deep paths of KZfaq

Nice job!! Thanks for the information!!

I recently started bowling again and have a Brunswick ball I received as a gift in 1978. The ball certification with the date was still in the bag. I've been looking at ways to clean the ball and appreciate your video.

Great video brother and love the amount of pride you take. Found some bowling balls at the thrift store and was curious about how to bring them back.

The first ball looks like it may have crossed and could have hung a little on crossing back into the oil at the 5 board which makes the initial throw a touch sketch. If the video gets remade I'd like to see a handful of throws on the before and after.

I think it's a cool thing to know....especially the science part. Seeing there was an hour in between shots....it looks like the 2nd shot had more loft and rotation on it. Would love to see it in our shop. We have some of your products. And I support you %100 Ron.

Informative. Thank you. It's been years since I've competed. Maybe I'll give mine new life and get out there.

@RonaldHickland how much of the performance improvement was due to “The Clear”, and how much was from re-finishing the ball to 2000 grit?

This video was awesome!! So great to see and learn, thanks! =) I may both do myself or go to my pro shop even more often now, thanks!

The last time I bowled was in the 70's. Like everything else, times change. We used to have this machine, sort of looked like a washing machine with a clear window. You would put in 50 cents (Hey, a pack of cigarettes cost 50 cents), and it would spin the ball for 5 minutes, and out would come a clean ball. Getting off all the oil from the lanes. Nice job on the video.

Yeah 150$ is too steep just to rejuvenate an old ball. I’d rather spend the little extra and get a brand new one.

Things have changed so much over the years... My era was JP LT48 or the red Columbia 300....Yeah, I know, I'm old...thanks for the video..

The kit should include 3 plugs for the holes.

WOW! I am impressed with how consistent that shot was and the difference it made. Good job on this video!

very cool product! I learned something new!

First person to modify the surface of a bowling ball was pro bowler Don McCune back in the early 70's.. He came up with the "soaker" which, if I can remember, was soaking a bowling ball in ethyl methyl ketone.. He won a lot of titles one year having the advantage of a ball that hooked more and delivered more power... They outlawed the practice because it was very flammable and dangerous... Just a little useless trivia....

This vid was sent to me by a friend. Reading through comments, it's crazy to see how many people question the product knowledge of one of Ebonite's previous key ball designers (I'm guessing they don't know that). I bet if the products were free, the skepticism would be less. I get the whole "well, I can just do XYZ at home", but even though the immediate result may be similar, we don't know the potential long-term effect. Consumer choice to buy a product or not, but if choosing not to, great - move on. Haven't had a chance to try the products yet - I just don't know where to start. Keep up the good work with keeping bowling great!

You are the best man!
