Thursday night league where the lanes haven't been oil since Saturday morning? If this is really the case, the owners should seriously consider selling... they are going nowhere but down!
For my birthday in April my wife got me a Brunswick Vintage Gold Rhino Pro. I finally got it drilled up. Went pin up, pin is 5 1/2 " from my VAL, PAP is 6" over, 1" up. Went to my Thursday night league house and bowled on lanes that haven't been oiled since Saturday morning. Ball did great. Could wheel the ball out to around 7 and it came back easily. Carry was sporadic as the pin deck was full of carry down. Left way more 7's than 10's. Bowled two games. All I tweaked was the radius around the thumbhole I like to have. Great ball for scorched lanes.

I got a Roto Grip Haywire drilled up a few weeks back. My alley laid down a little more oil so I wanted alittle more aggressive ball. From first week to the next I went up 61 pins and from that week to tonight I went,up 83 pins. Love this ball.

Awesome Blomer! Rob, where I bowl league, it's just a little 16 lane mom&pop operation. They only oil what needs done for leagues. Not much traffic at all. The lanes are the original wood lanes that were installed in 1962. They take care of the place.
This gave me a look at that ball for what it's for- get through scorched lanes and still carry.

People seem to forget that oil is actually conditioner. It wasn't originally intended to be used to dictate "patterns" but rather to condition the wood to enhance the longevity of each board by protecting the enamel coating. Conditioner is expensive but far less so than having to replace the lanes prematurely.

I think all new balls are nice when first rolled. I like to hear stories about them after say 50-100 games.
