Overreaction would be a thing of the past.

I heard that PeptoBismol and some of the other companies who sell  "thick" liquids (pharmaceuticals, lubricants, etc.) have incorporated this into their bottle designs in order to help get the stuff out of the bottle.  No more, "good things come to those who wait," commercials.

If this stuff is as low a friction level as implied in that article, you may truly not want to use it on anything bowling!   

I was thinking a sheet for about the first 30 ft of lane, you would have the normal lane friction for the last 30 ft.  You could then add oil to lengthen the desired pattern.

I guess it would actually depend on what the actual coefficient of friction was for this substance.

Improved guardian heads...  providing the material was at least a durable as the guardians...

Guardian overlays should be outlawed!

Everyone would have a rosin bag on hand, scotch brite pads, or just plain sand paper. I can it see it now, instead of smoke filling the center (back in the day) it would now be rosin and ball cover dust. I understand it is against the rules, but most league do not enforce rules, especially when 90% of them would benefit from the rosin and sanding of the ball.
