1. Do the two lanes that make up a "pair" usually play the same? At my center they generally do play nearly the same.
2. What elements(s) determine how a particular lane will play? Has it been freshly dressed. During league it depends how the other team plays the lane especially with two or more crankers.
3. Can you make adjustments off of a bad shot? I prefer not to; however, you should pay attention to how the ball reacts anyway.
4. Do you ever adjust off of the shots of other bowlers on your pair? If there are players playing nearly the same line at mine, I'll pay much more attention and perhaps make a move to the left more quickly.

6. Do you look for patterns in the scores of individual bowlers to anticipate lane differences? Not so much.
7. Do you decide what ball you are going to use in league before you come to the lanes? I bring three reactive balls and a spare shot ball with me each week. Switch often...
