viscosity of oil
« on: May 28, 2014, 02:38:54 PM »
I noticed the house I bowl league have upgraded to a kegel machine. I have not bowled league there this last winter, but I've been practicing there recently.

Well, yesterday I noticed the conditioner felt a little dense compared to the other house known to put down more oil. The house with more volume has a thinner feel to it.

Is there any affect with transition/carry down with the two different conditioner's viscosity? assuming all lanes surface, ball, rev, line, ect... are the same...

Thinner more volume vs. thicker less volume...I think thicker as a greater chance of carry down...??  this is my own assesdment, so excuse me if I am mistaken.

The older pad machines do not handle the higher viscosity oils well that have become most common with todays machines like Ion, and Flex.  I don't know if Kegel even makes a pad machine anymore.
