Real Customer Feedback
Verified League Bowler
“I was skeptical at first, but this bowling ball leather towel is a game-changer. I used to wipe my ball with a cotton rag, but it just pushed the oil around. This shammy actually absorbs it. My ball hooks like it did when it was first drilled. The quality is top-notch, and it holds up well even after multiple washes.”

My Personal Testing Note
I have been using this specific shammy pad for the past three months in league play. The most impressive part is how quickly it pulls oil off the surface. While it is excellent for mid-game maintenance, I found that it is not a substitute for deep cleaning or resurfacing your ball. For a quick wipe down, it is arguably the best tool on the market, though I wish it came in a slightly larger size for bigger hands.

FAQ
How often should I use this bowling shammy?
You should wipe your ball with the shammy pad before every shot during practice and competition. This prevents lane oil from building up and altering your ball’s reaction.
Can I use this on a polished bowling ball?
Yes, this leather towel is safe for all finishes. It cleans the surface without stripping the factory polish or altering the surface texture.
How do I clean the shammy pad itself?
Rinse it under warm water and gently squeeze out the oil. You can use a small amount of dish soap to cut the grease. Allow it to air dry completely before storing it in your bag.
Is this similar to a golf towel?
While a magnetic quick dry waffle golf towel is great for gripping clubs, this shammy is specifically engineered with a smoother, tackier texture to grab oil from porous bowling ball surfaces without grabbing the ball itself.

Does this replace a ball cleaner?
No. The shammy is for immediate oil removal on the lanes. For deep cleaning of dirt embedded in the coverstock, you should still use a dedicated bowling ball cleaner at home. This pad helps you get the most out of your ball’s surface between deep cleanings.
