    There are several ways going about what you are wanting. Weaker ball, surface playing a different line, etc.

    I use Valentino products. The Snake Oil is easy on easy off, lasts quite a while, and does not effect the underlying surface near as much as other polishes. I also have their UFO. It is a slip agent type of polish and will extend skid and tame down the reaction on the back end in dry conditions. I'll let you try some on whatever ball you would like to see what you think. It won't be hard to find burnt lanes around this city lol

    This was actually at Fern Valley, they just hadn't oiled some lanes in a good while. We actually stopped going to Executive and started hitting up different places, Kenwood was DEAD last week but the lane was nice, apparently they redid them somewhat recently. Going to KingPin tomorrow, I'll see what my arsenal does there as-is before looking to polish. I think my Thug would've worked well on the dry but the thumb was too tight by the time I tried it, opened that sucker up last night so I'm ready to try it again tomorrow!

    Typical of FV too lol.

    Kingpin typically has oil on their lanes. I used to go on Sunday when they open since that's when they run them and can always get fresh oil. The earlier you get there the better during the week.
    Their typical pattern is 42' 23mL

    Kenbowl and dixie both are ran by brothers. They run the lanes every day. Altho they seem to break down quicker at Dixie for some reason.

    Good luck tomorrow!
