I’ve bowled on no oil before. You can’t even use a spare ball. The ball hooks out halfway down lane into the gutter. You have to roll it end over end because hooking is physically impossible. 💯

[@seanl8930]

Depends what kind of bowler you are. I bowled on no oil with a spareball and I had to throw it very very hard to get it to hit pocket. It was hard to be consistent without oil but it's still possible to throw a good game with a spare ball. If you're a 2 hander with a spare ball I don't think you're in luck.

this was a cool/interesting video for me personally because at the 2 places i bowl at here in the UK, it's commercial and they don't even bother to oil the lanes and they fired their techs after "upgrading" to pins on strings. would be cool to see more No Oil videos!

[@bseddz]

man i can’t stand pins with strings, id find a new spot if i were u

[@TheShubbah]

@@bseddz everywhere in the UK in pins of strings basically. 90percent of all bowling alleys in the UK are owned by two companies, "hollywoodbowl" or "TenPin" it's heavily commercial and all are pins on strings, so that's 90percent of free fall gone, even boutique bowling alley bars are pins on strings for cheaper costs. only places left with Free fall pins are small old individually owned places and that is very small. so you'll never find one. for example, the closes free fall pins to me in 1 hour and 30mins away. whereas im 10mins away from a commercial place. not worth the drive even though I want to go there. you guys are very lucky that bowling was huge back in the day and has stayed around. thanks for your reply. and sorry for my big reply back haha. cheers.

Pac-Man! Those lanes are the exact same set up as my college lanes. Also, there's clearly still some oil on the lane. If you barely hook a plastic ball and it still dives into the gutter, then there's no oil. We've all bowled on worse. The heads are clearly burnt up, but the ball is still able to slide through the middle of the lane.

[@sorcerersmith5536]

There still some oil on the balls you could here him say it to the middle ish of the video

of course there's SOME oil on the lanes, dry/burnt just means the areas where you normally want oil for your standard shots are dried up / carried down creating super difficult conditions.

@@TheHouseBowling no I don’t have my own ball. Now that I think about it, it is my fit. I just experimented with all the balls and started using the most comfortable ball for me. As well as that, it happened when I was trying to hook with only two fingers and no thumb

[@BucksCorner101]

@@loggles003 Unless you're going with the 2 handed release seen here. You certainly need to use your thumb to prevent injuring yourself. It's a critical piece to controlling your ball mechanics. You do not want to "twist" anything while bowling. Wrists, forearms, elbows, shoulders should always be as straight as possible. Or correct angles, 45, 90 etc. You'll want to roll your hand upwards to the side of the ball pre-release to initiate the "hook" aspect of it. Good luck out there! Hope this helped a little bit!

[@davepalmer9265]

I demand a re do. These lanes look like it was just not oiled that day. Still plenty of oil.

[@jvmiller1995]

So clarify for us. Had the lanes just not been ran in a day or two or did you run the machine down the lane to clean them and then set it to lay zero oil. Or to remove the oil from machine all together and applied zero. I mean I want to see front end to be 100% dry like the backends. I have always wondered how hard that would be to bowl. I mean we have all been to a bowling alley some where that had 50 plus games on a lane and just burned up. But you are wiping your ball off and zero oil you would not need to. Also I have a challenge for you. In Chandler Oklahoma there is a bowling center that has a 101ft lane. It is only about 3 hours of a drive from Wichita but it would be fun to see a pro bowler vs amateur on it. I have not yet bowled it but it is only about a 1/2 hour from the house. It looks like a real nice house. Route 66 Bowl. I have been in it 2 times but the alley was not open at the time. I bet a lot of people would like that. I would be happy to be your amateur. LOL if not I would just lie to see you give it a go. You like weird challenges.

We have a couple of PBA bowlers come most the time. Fero Williams bowls sometimes and so does Gordon Bellamy. Entry is only $60 bucks. It fills up fast every month and we have people from all over the state as well as Texas and Kansas come play. We have a few 2 handers who are pretty decent.

people don’t understand the oil rigs the game, the only reason oil was put down originally was to protect the floor, now it’s use to make the ball have less grip and just fucking zoom down, and the thing about that, you could have too much or too little of oil, which makes the outcome different from how it’s suppose to preform, thats like putting damn lube on a football
