how to defeat dry lane conditions?

[Florida Bowler]

If the plastic ball is too strong for your lanes, what are you using on those lanes? Those must be some bone-dry lanes.

Plastic. I try to flatten it out a little. It was better last week. The week before was horrible. I could not keep it on the right side. I'm hoping that they put some oil down for leagues. I'm taking the summer getting back into bowling, and plan on joining a league in the fall.

It's amazing how the conditioner was designed to protect the lanes yet so many centers only oil the lanes a couple of times a week during the summer. Our center only oils on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during the summer and then just because those are the Junior, Regular and Senior league days for sport patterns.

my lanes here are oiled every day morning 8.30 am.. so the freshest time to play fresh oil is 10am.

Wouldn't the time for freshest oil be 8:31 a.m.?

Nope! Because 8am is for the Technicians, 8.30am for the staffs, They open at 10am.. Thats why thats the freshest oil time!
