Urine? who or what's?

with coatings of ball grease and someone or something's urine soaked in them what is going on?Wullie likes this.Saved,

These are the strops marked " Broken in " ?
They forgot the part about dumping beer or vodka on them. I guess that is still a secret :<0)
And who says we all been doing it wrong ?Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
