A Must-Have Bowling Ball Shammy
The Elite Alien Rubber Shammy is an essential tool for bowlers looking to maintain the performance and longevity of their bowling ball. This highly effective bowling shammy pad is specifically designed to remove oil, dirt, and debris from the ball’s surface, helping to restore its tacky feel and ensure consistent ball performance during every throw.
Why You Need this Bowling Ball Shammy
Bowling is a sport that requires just as much physical and mental skills as good equipment. Purchasing your own set of bowling balls is a serious investment in this game, and it’s important that you continue to treat all of your bowling gear as the investments that they are. Use this bowling ball shammy to gently clean off excess oil and debris both to maintain your ball’s reliability and flashy looks in the short term, and the overall integrity of your coverstock in the long term.
Are ELITE bowling ball shammies best suited for ELITE bowling balls?
ELITE creates world-class bowling equipment that is designed to help you strengthen your competitive edge alongside your love of the game. While their equipment is especially well suited to complement their proprietary blends of coverstock, you can use any ELITE gear with anything else from our other trusted brands.
Why shouldn’t I let my bowling ball build up with oil?
It’s true that some lanes are more oily than others, which creates slicker conditions for your ball. While experiencing some variation of oil on the lanes is not only unavoidable but part of the fun, the same can’t be said for keeping it on your bowling balls for the long term. That’s because the oil can still trap debris, further threatening to erode and break down your ball over time. Not removing oil from the balls also damages the consistency of your throws.
What are bowling ball shammies usually made of?
Shammies can be made out of a variety of materials, including leather, microfiber, and high-quality rubber, as is the case with this ELITE black and gold shammy. Rubber bowling shammy pads are especially well-liked because they are particularly durable and easy to clean after using them to wipe off that excess grime from your bowling ball.
What else should I consider to maintain my bowling balls?
Bowling shammy pads are essential first lines of defense against deteriorating friction for your bowling ball, in addition to cleaners that are specially designed to help remove the tackiness from the ball without your needing to wipe the ball too harshly. Using the wrong chemicals can be just as bad as not cleaning your bowling balls at all, so read the instructions specific to your bowling ball to be extra safe.
