The new oil
« on: August 13, 2004, 08:48:12 AM »
Does anyone know what will be the characteristics of the new brunswick oil compared to the Kegel oil?  
Will the oil spread more quickly / slower?
Is the oil thicker than the Kegel?
Or, is there really a difference?

Yeah, but Dublin's surface is brand new... 43' pattern on a brand new Brunswick Pro-Anvilane will feel like 50'.

Anybody know which particular Brunswick oil they are using?

All I've heard about Prodigy is that it's not as good as they hoped it to be.  It's going to be hard to make oil to combat the bowling ball's ability to trash a condition pretty quickly, but someone will come up with something innovative eventually.
