    Why? These new(er) high oil balls have a more porous cover than their predecessors. This is/was needed to increase the co-efficient of friction. Basically, the more oil it picks up, the better it can read the dry and make a hard turn to the pocket. Balls hook more now due to the ability to absorb that oil. A pain? Yes. Worth it? Hell yeah! Ooops, sorry Jay. Heck yeah!
