Boosting my H3Neo with baby oil and noticed this

fais · Feb 24, 2016

I noticed diagonal ridges on the sponge of my brand new H3Neo after a layer of baby oil. The ridges are not exactly vertical, rather slanted slightly. Can anyone help me identify what these are?

Yeah I'm on my phone and ran into bad internet connection. I'm trying to get it on here.

Can you see the ridges?

This is probably the layer of the wood due to glueing ! But iam not sure !!!

I'm not sure I understand? This is a brand new h3n that I haven't glued on to a bat yet. (I used a pen to trace the outline of the bat on the sponge , cut it, and applied two layers of baby oil.)

I'd like to believe it is a layer of "boost" that comes from factory. I ordered 3 H3N Sheets and they all came like that, in the package.

I suspected it may be how to sponge is reacting to the factory boost layer (plus mine, possibly uneven absorption?). Did you try the H3N? did it create any imbalance in feel when hitting the ball? Did the ball react a little more erratically, or did it have zero effect on play? If it is the latter, then I'm not concerned.

I believe it's simply the way the original glue layer has been applied at the DHS factory. The booster makes this more evident. Should not be a problem.

Update: after the oil dried, I removed the factory glue and the ridges are gone. Will post pics later.
