Troubleshooting

Ball feels too hard or stiff initially

This is common with new leather balls. Use the ball in practice sessions or less critical games to help it 'break in' and soften to a more playable state. Gentle polishing with a leather conditioner (used sparingly) might also help, but natural play is preferred.

Loss of shine or scuff marks

Scuff marks are a natural part of the game and can even aid bowlers. To restore shine on one side (for swing), you can lightly polish it with a soft cloth after play. Ensure proper storage to prevent excessive scuffing.

Seam becoming uneven

Inspect the seam regularly. If minor fraying occurs, it might be manageable with careful play. Significant damage to the seam may affect performance and could indicate the ball has reached the end of its useful life.
