Proper bowling ball maintenance involves regular cleaning to remove oil and restore its performance, using cleaners for oil removal and sanding and polishing to manage the surface. Regularly check for oil with your palm and maintain a balance between polished and sanded surfaces to adapt to lane conditions. Store the ball properly to extend its life and aim for restoration after 250-300 games. Scratches can indicate usage and skill level, underscoring the importance of post-game upkeep.
