The One coverstock...........
« on: February 03, 2006, 03:18:06 AM »
Is this Ebonite's version of the Soaker in that it will get stronger as it absorbs oil??????
 If not,could someone please explain how this coverstock works and why it would be a good purchase for an arsenal if the absorption rate is so high that it might be in trouble after X amount of games.
 Thanks in advance for all replies.........

I don't think the One's coverstock behaves like a Soaker.  It's about what the cover does with the oil, not just how much it absorbs.

All reactive balls absorb oil.  If the One is able to absorb more oil than average before it's "full", then theoretically, it could last longer than the average coverstock, but there are a lot of variables.  Does the oil stay in the track area where the ball contacts the lane or does it migrate away, is there an additive that breaks down the oil, how easily is the oil removed from the cover, how big is the reaction difference when it's fresh as opposed to when it's oil logged...
