New Oil
« on: October 24, 2013, 04:28:04 AM »
Anyone else notice that this year's new higher viscosity oil is not being picked up quite as much by the ball?   I find less oil needing to be wiped of this year, which makes me think it may allow the equipment to not die quite as quickly.

Also, how is the new oil affecting your game?

There are several brands and several lines in each brand.

I think the companies have always tweaked the formula of their oils, even if they don't announce a new name for them.  In addition, Kegel did debut the new Ice oil at nationals this year.

I thought I had heard USBC changed regulations for viscosity going into this year
