Question: Why do I need a bowling ball shammy or microfiber towel?

A: A shammy or microfiber towel removes lane oil from your ball between shots. Oil buildup causes the ball to hook later or inconsistently. Wiping the ball keeps your reaction predictable and helps you maintain the same motion throughout a game or practice session.
