I don't think wood lanes transition that much quicker than wood. Unless, you get on wood that hasn't been resurfaced as much as it should and the coating has worn out. I've bowled on synthetics that transition faster than wood. Its more dependent on the type of oil being used. Some oils will carry down before they dry out.
At nationals last year I started throwing a dull Ace up 10 and by the end of the third game I was swinging a polished Victory Road between 3rd and 4th arrow. That is a lot of transition! Synthetics are also susceptible to creating a track area. There is also a ton of difference between the crap synthetics of the late 80's and early 90's compared to today's.
I've been bowling for 26 years now. No shoulder, elbow or wrist surgeries yet (as predicted by many when I was young)! |
I sure hope I can say this as well! Everyone tells me the same thing.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was the condition of the lanes that made the transistion happen so quickly at the other house. They were very worn.
I find that HPL breaks down really quick too, but pro-anvilane is a very mild breakdown (depending on the pattern)
