I may polish it before I start the winter league then. Thanks! Rainx eh? If I am correct, it is an oil that repels water. Perhaps it will also repel lane oil depending on its characteristics, allowing it to make less contact with the lane. Interesting. It is only against the rules if you get caught, and who will care about a person making a ball go STRAIGHTER. More people care about Joe Bowler using illegal methods to get more hook.
