well every time i go on mondays its seems to be different and different on every lane. its like hit or miss if its slick or not. but once i find whats going on. i can slip and curve just like always.

I think lanes absolutely do very. I believe it depends on the style of bowler, the shot they carry, how much the lane was used; directly corresponds how the units of oil carry down the lane. Most people aren't aware of the MANY variables that come into play in throwing a perfectly consistent shot down the lane. I hope to see you guys there, that way you can see how bad I suck.

There is no lane the same. I don't care who tells you. You have 3 basics styles of bowling. Im really not going to go into that for the sake you won't know what im talking about. But you have variables that are alot of times out of your control, like tempature of the room and your ball. How old the lanes are. Whens that last time they were oiled. Also look at the balls themselves. For instance my number 1 ball that I throw drinks oil like its nothing. But a house ball you would never know the difference. Then also there's the bowlers that bowl on them, making a huge difference too. When I was at state there was 8 people on 2 lanes. And most of them were old guys so they were shooting straight up the middle. I had to play outside to find oil b/c they were drying up the middle. So I played outside all 6 games and ended up shooting a 737 in singles and a 802 in doubles. But again it has to do with how well your able to adjust on the lanes given. A good bowler is someone who can shoot a 300 on his house lane. A great bowler is someone who can shoot a 300 on someone else's lanes. Thats what makes the pros so good. I shoot with guys on my mens league who have 5 300 rings but you take them outside of that bowling alley and they wont shoot any higher then a high 100 low 2.

My plans were to next year try and make it into the PBA regionals. But I need alot more practice.

I agree. I might have an idea about what your talking about. I always like to hear someone elses theory on things I have similar interests in.
