Lack of lube probably reduces ball life, greasing definitely increases dirty clothes.
If you grease your TT ball you can most likely tow 5,600,000 miles before you have worn your ball diameter significantly. (rough guess). However, if you do not grease your TT ball you will probably get 1/3 less ball life.
These numbers are of course my rough estimates based on the imaginary facts folk like to toss out on the board.
Lot of folks grease, lots of folk do not; so obviously it makes little difference in the overall TT world. I am from the old school, so if it is metal on metal I lube. I also have a number of grease stained pants. :)
