Synthetic pins (Twisters) would be an immediate turn off even if it's the nicest center in the world. I'd take a dump with real pins vs modern with synthetic. Lanes are a different story, wood or synthetic I don't care which, both are fine. Synthetic pins sound like I'm knocking down 10 2 liter pop bottles. Centers with Twisters are trying to save money in the long run because they are more expensive initially but last longer than regular ones. Plus Twisters have some issues with certain pinsetters. No thanks.
Wood lanes I grew up bowling on and always did well on them. Synthetics took a time to get used to not because they were any tougher really it was more the sound. They were very quiet in comparison. Since I've bowled on both for a great many years I can't say that I do better on one versus the other. 60' with arrows and dots wood or synthetic, it's all the same to me.
