No Oil vs Flooded Bowling Lane!

Two bowling lanes, two DRASTICALLY different conditions. The left lane has ZERO oil, and the right lane has more oil than you've ever seen. We had the oiling machine run a 47 foot pattern, twice. Can the boys break 200?

@@Floriaka because when you bowl on them the strings that hold the pins can catch onto the other strings and make spares that would generally be impossible or very hard. also creates instances where you get strikes on shots that should not or do not deserve to be strikes

[@loganshaw4527]

That is why you do not want to step on the lanes they are so oiled sometimes.

I think the oil is redeposited closer to the line if the players are not wiping the balls each throw.

[@masonurycki5456]

I can’t stand super oily lanes. I curve the ball but on really oily lanes ya can’t curve it. Even wiping the ball off after each throw. To dry of lanes sucks also cuz the ball curves way to much then. It’s a very fine line between no oil n to much oil.

Question. Why didn't either of them just throw it straight and let the ball walk in? Or was it one of those patterns where the outside 4-5 boards are no man's land? Bowled on that in the Open. It is not pleasant. Touch those boards and your ball is gone.

[@AlexGeorgebowling]

It’s 47’ with 50 mLs of oil. You can’t throw it out there

[@TheHouseBowling]

Just way too much oil on the outside of the lane to get your ball to hook that much so keeping it close to the pocket was the “safer” play
