the lanes should retain oil better than the wood of your old lanes, you'll see you movements more minor and the breakdown of the oil more subtle.
Advice on lanes...
Greetings all, my team and I are switching houses this coming winter season. Old house was 30/70 % Syn/Pine, new house is 100% Syn. What can we/I expect for ball reaction based on Lane composition and not just oil pattern???

Houses with synthetics can and will differ from each other, not just oil wise, but friction wise depending on the synthetic surface used.

think wood is suppose to be more friction than synthetics
it is only because it reacts diffidently with temperature and humidity, so they tend to "dry out" quicker than synthetic lanesOriginally Posted by Joker

You ball won't hook nearly as much as on your other lanes.

Didn't think the Syn lanes would be an advantage for me...but knowing less hook will help me adjust from the start of the season
I'm a tweeter and throw Taboo, First Blood and Deadly Aim so being used to swinging to down and in will be a difference but will make it work to maintain/climb my avg over my current 212 !!!
thanks all, great insight from you all !!!
You really won't know until you play them I've seen wood like a sheet of glass that it was everything you could to hook it and I've seen synthetics so dry you can't keep a ball on them every set of lanes play different. Wheat her they are wood or synthetic. A heavily oiled synthetic will typically hook a little less than a heavily oiled synthetic but not always the oil does seem to me to last a little longer on the synthetics
I highly doubt that the difference will turn you from a swing the ball out guy to a down and in player unless your on the extreme end of both possibilities. Best guess a few boards to the right
