I believe my gym has a Balazs Standard UBS4 4 Station Boxing Stand with a chain-link swivel. (At least it looks just like http://www.balazsboxing.com/cgi-bin/catalog2.cgi?action=page&page=gear|universal%20box ing%20stands|UBS4 )
The swivel has been kind of noisy and another gym member sprayed it with Sprayon Food Grade silicone lubricant. I immediately found it harder to control - windmilling starts very soon. For example, I normally can close my eyes and hit 20 FCPs in a row with 1 hand, but after the spray, less than a dozen. Even the basic combination FSP'''FCP with my eyes open seemed more challenging than usual.
1. Is this actually bringing it up to its ideal performance, and we will learn better control?
2. Should we counteract it? Would something like cornstarch help dry it?
3. Normal use will soon bring it back it back to normal responsiveness?
Thanks,
