Coach Daniel Puerto I received the Pyramid Bowling Ball Revivor on Saturday. The system sets the temperature at 158 degrees for either a 30 or 45 minute cycles. Pyramid states that you should never exceed an hour and a half. I choose my Roto Grip Attention Star as the first ball since it showed the most performance loss (over 100 games with 3x league and weekly practice.)

I performed the first 30 minutes and wiped off the oil and a quick ball clean. I repeated the process with the second 30 minutes. From there I applied surface back to the original spec. However, the Attention Star used a Reacta Gloss, so I went with 5,000 grit (500>1000>2000>3000>4000>5000 increment.)

I also did the same process with my Phaze II, which is the first ball I received from the Brad & Kyle program. It had been replaced with my Ion Pro on my last renewal. For this ball, I went with 45 minute cycles and resurfaced the ball to 3,000 grit.

I took both balls to my Sunday practice session. I saw performance increases out of both balls.

I really enjoyed doing the process. However, resurfacing by hand is a pain in the butt. It was almost worth the $50 to have my Pro Shop do the work. I'm thinking a ball spinner is in my future.

I contacted my pro shop. The $25 is only for extracting the oil. It will cost $50 to extract the oil and resurface. I'm thinking about getting one of the bowling ball revivor systems and play around with it on one of my non-league balls to learn how the process works.Ā
