Can you put a tennis ball in an oven?
It depends on the type of ball. Some can be put in the oven on
lowest (120degrees) setting. To do this you must put a towel on
bottom of the pan you are using, put it in for 15 to 20 min, take
it out and put in hot soapy water, dry off and place back in the
oven, repeat until no oil comes out of your ball. This can take
several hours. Your best bet is to go to the bowling alley, they
have a machine that extracts the oil from your ball. I would say if
your ball is older than 2years and you bowl frequently then it is
time to get a new ball.....ignore everything i said so far..never
ever put your bowling ball in the oven it will ruin the coverstock
of your bowling ball which helps make it hook. And if you do put in
the oven ur risking the core of your bowling ball in which if it
breaks your ball is pretty much screwed might as well say its a
house ball. If your bowling ball is getting old I mean if you
bowled at least 150 games with it I would get it resurfaced. Ya
that's they put your ball in a resufacing machine which removes all
the oil...that should definitely put some life back into your
bowling ball. This only works on reactive resin ball or particle
not on spare balls.
