Tips For Bone Dry Lanes?

[BowlingNewbie]

One thing I did not try was playing really straight. I tried playing straighter than I normally would, but not that straight. I'm afraid of throwing gutters. Also, I really need to invest in a spare ball. Just have the Feeze as of now.

Bob,
It is very rare I play on lanes that dry. I would say normally the lanes have a medium amount of oil on them. Just that day I guess they didn't oil it by the time I got there.

Great thread!! I'll have to post the picture of the beauty of a lanes I bowled with over the 4th. I think there was more oil in the french fries than on all 16 lanes combined.

Spare balls are pretty cheap. Even cheaper if you manage to get into a league that offers one up for a few extra dollars a week (my current summer league is doing that - an extra $5 a week and you get a T-Zone at the end). I can't complain about my Pyramid Path either, so if you aren't a brand loyalist there is a direction you can go as well.

Either that, or they use the French Fry oil on the lanes. My team often ponders that one.

Is it better to use the left over french frie oil on the lane, or the left over lane oil on the french fries....

If the choices are Regular, Cheezy, Sweet Potato, Shark, Scorpion, or Viper fries, don't eat the French Fries.......
