Question: Do reactive balls require more maintenance than plastic or urethane?

Answer:

Yes. Reactive balls pick up lane oil faster, so you'll want to clean them regularly with a microfiber towel or approved cleaner to keep their hook strong. Plastic and urethane are lower maintenance and more durable over time with less cleaning needed.
