Frank's league resumed back for a new season last night (which is known as Black Friday). He joined the same team who he bowled with last year. It isn't very often I go along to watch but I went last night with my crochet to watch and speak to a couple of bowlers I know.
I did speak to one of the professional bowlers (well..... he does have a 200 plus average and he is employed as a coach for junior leagues) about the sunshine method of cleaning the polyurethane bowling balls. He told me he has heard of it but would not recommend this method done to any bowling balls as in time the balls will go out of shape. He said the best method to clean any bowling ball is with warm water and dishwashing liquid which I believe is the correct way of cleaning one. I don't own a ball so I don't bother cleaning the house ball I used from the centre.
I did forget to add, apparently after the sunshine method, Frank did put the ball into the downstairs bar refridge for a week so the ball would regain back to its standard shaping. I don't know where he got his sources from about the sunshine and refridge method. I tried goggling it and there seems to be no information about this unusual cleaning method. So all the readers who bowl, don't go and try it! If you own a bowling ball, just stick to the dishwashing method to clean the oil off the ball.
