Just received a supply of adrenaline wipe from buddies. Watched the video on powerhouse site about them. According to video they don’t clean your ball but increase oil absorption. Sounds like if that’s the case, might have to do more cleaning and oil extraction service on ball than before. Anybody try them yet?

For the sake of clarity, these are supposed to be wet right?  Bought a pack at a local pro shop earlier this week.  Opened it last night at my son's summer league and they were bone dry.

Mine were wet. I assume they have to have the compound on them to work. I'd return the dry one. They're either VERY old (my opened but zip-lock sealed original ones from 2 years ago are still wet in the package.) or it was left opened.

The adrenaline wipes are supposed to be wet. You can get several applications from each pad if you keep them in an air tight pouch. I also have a few adrenaline wipes in original packaging, and after 18 months or so, they are still wet.

As Jeff suggests, do return the dry pads to your local shop.

Powerhouse changed the original packaging which was a zip lock bag to a plastic container. They had issues with the packaging leaking over time so the wipes were oversaturated to keep them from drying out. With the new packaging they reduced the amount of liquid applied to the wipe. They are definitely dryer than the orange colored originals. From my experience they still work but pretty much for the initial use only.

But are they dry, when fresh out of the bag?

I guess I have the original "wet" packaging, with a ziploc bag, and one wipe was good for 2 - 4 balls.

The information above came from a REP when I inquired about the wipes. The first container I got the wipes were almost completely dry not even damp. That prompted me to inquire about the wipes. The second batch I received as a replacement had a moist feeling to them but only good for a one time use. There was a difference in the 2 batches that I received of the newer wipes.   

The new ones come in a plastic container and they have a light damp mostly dry feeling to them. You can see the moisture on the ball as you wipe it. As I stated the wipe is good for 1 use. I just pulled one out and wiped 2 balls but by the time I got to the 3rd one all the moisture on the wipe was gone. I compared  a wipe to one of the original wipes I got from a friend and there is definitely a a huge difference in the amount of moisture on the wipe. The original also had an orange tint also and came in the Ziploc and these do not.

Boss Tull,

Yes, you're right about the orange tint. Mine definitely has that too, but a distinctive odor.

I suspect they're reducing the amount of the liquid they put into each package and thus saving some money. I wonder of they're still have 10 wipes per package??

Yes 10 wipes and still has that odor. Added a picture of the packaging.

The one I bought was bag, not canister. And there was no moisture whatsoever.
