Try washing it with a tiny bit of soap and water before first use (and allowing it to fully dry before playing), they sometimes seem to have a slippery film when new (best guess around our club is a mold release agent?)

I wonder how much out there is just done for spite (like in real companies, not Elon spite) (Lamborghini I know of, must be others...)
