Questions On Lane Conditioners
« on: November 23, 2003, 08:56:01 PM »
I dont know if this has been covered before or not but what are the different types of lane conditioners in use now and what are their characteristics?  Do certain types break down faster, etc.  Thanks.

If you ask a Kegel guy or a LaneDynamx guy... they will tell you that their product will hold up the best.

In reality, all oil travels down the lane and dissipates with lineage and when time goes on. The characteristics of the different kinds of lane conditioners are so dependent on the type of lane surface, the kind of equipment players are using, humidity, temperature, amount of cleaner used, as well as other things.

The ultimate goal of such companies like Kegel, LaneDynamx, and Legends is to slow down, and potentially stop carrying down of oil, as well as the quick break-down of oil - as you may have experienced in a tournament where your "look" has changed by a full arrow in 3-4 frames. You have no idea what kind of money toward R&D goes to this kind of stuff.

I'm sorry I didn't answer your question directly. I just felt that there are too many variables to point out about the characteristics of any one brand/product of oil.
