Have we been duped about oiling bats ?

Rampage

Im just asking the question

If you go to youtube and search for Millichamp oiling his bats , the man uses ALOT of oil , whereas we were always taught to use minimal oil

I am beginning to think theres a bit of creating a market type of thinking going on with bat retailers&makers.They WANT you to not over oil,thereby significantly reducing the lifespan of your bat - so you can go buy another bat.Because remember,a bat is an investment , its not like milk&bread where you buy everyday - so hence these ppl need you to come back &buy .Julian seems different , he sounds like a hugely passionate person about cricket therefore doesnt care to let secrets out

Im not sure

I mean if you have Julian Millichamp telling you this method , guess what - Im doing what the CHAMP says !
