TX DryPlay lube takes a little effort but the results are well worth it.  
Bearing drag does not increase with spin speed as with a viscus liquid type lube.

I find after cleaning a bearing out completely, and then applying the Terrapin X Dry Play, I notice I can get anywhere from 8-12 seconds of additional spin time on a flick AFTER the Dry Play treatment.
