Yep. Air causes the rubber molecules to oxidize and lose elasticity. Oil will break down the rubber molecules a different way. The effect of oil will restore the rubber's grip for a while but it will not increase the elasticity. You can add oil to a seemingly dead topsheet many times. And it will help restore the grip many times. But at a certain point the rubber is really dead and nothing will change that.

Hopefully Kevin did not already add the oil to the brand new Tenergy, Rakza 9 and MX-P topsheets.

No way. I'm just gathering info on the various techniques. A guy at my club says he used witch hazel oil.

By the way... Took second place at the Chinese new year tournament here in Columbus Ohio. Would have won first had the guy not been cheating by using long pips. Lol
