I don't know if I buy the "finger oils" theory. This doesn't explain why some balls get spotty, some get splotchy, and some just tone into a nice, even cream color.
All balls will eventually tone, I believe. But as for which will turn splotchy, well, that's a crapshoot. I know a lot of people who would pay a lot of money to know which balls do which. Ken PS: Despite me disagreeing with the "oily fingers" theory from mr2686, he is 100% correct to always handle the ball by the threads and not the leather. |
