Since I was a kid, I was always told "Don't forget to bring a towel" 😅 Didn't know some cartoon on comedy Central related to Bowling.

Wiping my ball sets up my Pre Shot routine. My first thought would be, "no difference, just like practice" Thank you NIck for bringing me back to my earlier days back when.

I've been bowling "badly" since the 70's . Never wiped my ball until this year. Ball speed is so low that it struggles to carry. I have seen a noticeable difference wiping the ball. It gives it a little extra punch. Also I target beyond the arrows , not at the arrows. That keeps me behind the ball a little more, which also helps my carry.

That was awesome..very informative

Big thing about wiping is to prevent oil from absorbing into the ball week after week. Plus, I think, it's good to have a pre-shot routine.

Pre shot routine every single time! It DOES make a difference. 1st thing my coach ever taught me. Love this Brunsnick!

When the lanes have a lot of oil, I clean the oil off my bowling balls. If I don't see enough skid, I leave the oil on my bowling balls. Most of the time I leave the oil of the balls because I don't throw a lot of revs or speed. I notice that the layout you use is a drop ring finger layout. Did you always go with that layout or did something different in your younger days? I like your videos, but I don't have the revs or speed to notice much different wiping or not wiping the ball unless there is a ton of oil on the lanes.

Wiping eliminates one of the reasons this 🎳 was standing. Team Wipe!

I am 50/50 when it comes to wiping. with urethane balls, 100% of the time I am wiping my balls. However, when it comes to reactive it varies. I am a no thumb one handed bowler, so I rely heavy on being able to properly grip the ball. I cannot have any oil between the ball and my hand, so I do wipe the ball (especially around my hand placement area). In my specific league, each team has four guys and we bowl four games. By the third to fourth game, the lanes are pretty much toasted. This is when I start to wipe my ball less and less. I still wipe around the part of my ball where my hand goes, however I may go two or three frames before wiping the rest of the ball off. I do this because I know that most of the oil on the lane is dam near gone, so I know that there’s at least oil on my ball (especially as a right hander). So game one and two I am wiping my ball almost every time, but game three and game four I’ll fully wipe my ball every two to three frames.

I was always too embarrassed to wipe off my bowling ball until I saw this video and it made a big difference!

I wanna see how you do with "Blow or No Blow".

"Nickstradamus" I love it! Brilliant. I'm a wiper and my wife REALLY thanks me!

Nick.. you overlooked something. If you wipe urethane every shot you will burn up the heads faster! And what happens when you move in off that spot with urethane? 10 pin.. 10 pin.. If you are moving every game, I can see it as an option. But if you are bowling multiple games on the same pair with urethane I would skip wiping all together..

@brunsnick

Oh I want urethane to dig. That’s the only way it’ll strike is by setting up early. Rather than move in which is never really an option, I’ll switch to a lesser surfaced Purple or go to Black but I get what you’re saying.

As a long time urethane user, I too have always used the trick of not wiping the ball when I shoot 10 pins or other spares on the right. I also sometimes will not wipe the ball at all if the lanes burn up bad and I need the extra slide, or to create some carrydown to keep my ball online in transition.

#TeamWipe

I’m a wiper. It’s part of my pre shot routine I can’t help it

“I don’t wipe” man that shirt would be wiiiild

I bowl 2 and 3 people teams in league and I have high speed and use alot of strong sould covers and by the time you get to bowl your ball dry anyways but do use with nu blue

Makes no since not to wipe! For reactive balls, get the oil off before it gets absorbed in the cover and get any dirt off of it. For Urethane, impossible to get a consistent reaction without wiping the ball off each shot. Also hard to hold onto anything if it’s covered in oil

Pretty much like you said towards the end. If there is a lot of oil and and the backends are slower, I wipe for sure. If the lanes are medium and the backends are fast, I do not wipe. Later in the tournament when the heads are getting dry, I do not wipe. Oh also if I'm bowling on a pair with someone throwing urathane I use a little surface and I wipe every shot. I'm also rev dominant.

BRUNSNICK! Question off topic, that's been plaguing me everytime I see your drill layout on your ball, and It's "crooked" or leaned away from the pin, not sure the term to use, but is that for your particular hand? or does that give you a built in cocked position to Rev the ball up? This Tweener is dying to understand, LOL!

Team No Wipe here. Hate having to sit there when I'm amped messing around with shammy and my ball. Also think it's less consistent when you wipe. Clean the resins regularly, leave the Purple dirty and never clean it. Just my personal opinion. Different strokes, different folks.

Pretty small sample size IMO. With that being said I never wipe because it changes ball motion more over the span of games. Wiping results in a ball that over-reacts more with time. Not wiping provides a more consistent read over that same time frame. This is with reactive, I don't throw urethane so I can't comment on that.

Remember to check your balls too lads, it's always important!

My wife does the laundry, and she says to wipe.

Team white, Nick

Wipe every time. If i dont i know it. Rare exceptions are if im using urethane and i cant find oil in the front of the lane. Then i will leave it on.

Team Towel. Rarely see cotton towels anymore.

Team wipe, even if theres no oil I still like wiping because some centers are dirtier than others. Once the ball comes out the return it might have some scuff marks or other debry

The one thing you didn't consider, is wiping being part of the pre-shot routine as a way to reduce bowler stress and increase shot focus. If you usually wipe as part of your routine, and then start not wiping, it could throw you off and vice versa also. What are your thoughts about that?

A better idea for a shirt design should be "Don't Lose Your Shammy" instead of the other silly ideas you had here.

I wonder about a larger data set. People usually dont just bowl 3 shots with a ball. I wonder if you get up to like 15 or 20 if wiping causes more inconsistency in reaction than not wiping. Cause consistency in reaction is what you really want. I wonder if people wipe their ball consistently the same over a span of 20 shots or so. Still a cool video and shows that wiping the ball makes it stronger.
