Question: Why is a bowling ball shammy or microfiber towel so important?
A: A shammy or microfiber towel is the number one accessory because it removes lane oil from your ball between shots. Oil buildup changes how your ball reacts, causing it to hook later or inconsistently. Wiping your ball keeps the coverstock clean so you get the same predictable reaction throughout your entire session or league night.
