Hi Chandrachur,
I don't recommend it at all. Apart from being illegal, it will effect your rubber in some way but I don't think it will do any good.

but if I am not playing any tournament and play just for fun then can it increase the grip??

I don't think it does and may even damage your rubber.
Chandrachur Mukherjee Posted 10 years ago
oh you are making me afraid now
Chandrachur Mukherjee Posted 10 years ago
but I saw in pingskills there are many questions related to oiling and increasing the grip specially in this site

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 10 years ago
Don't bother trying it. It is not worth the risk of ruining your rubber.
Chandrachur Mukherjee Posted 10 years ago
ok, I will not do then
thanks a lot for the quick replies
your suggestion is whole-heartedly appreciated by me

The oil seems to soak complete into the rubber, perhaps we have a chemical engineer on this forum who can tell us what’s actually happening here.
Is does raise another question, there may be a thin line between cleaning the rubber with oil or using one of those fancy legal foam cleaners labeled as “to remove dirt and bring your rubber back to its grip”, I haven’t been able to find out what they are made of and they are too expensive to be just soap, just wonder.
