FWIW -
Wood, with the exception of Guardian and other lane overlay films, is the softest and highest friction surface you'll ever bowl on.
Combine that with poorly maintained lanes and lane coatings you can have some interesting "oil patterns" develop on wood as well.
Using modern equipment on wood lanes that are high friction will really minimize the "big snap" everyone seems to expect to see.
Solid urethane has more friction in oil and less friction on the dry, thus making for a smooth reaction.
Reactive urethane creates less friction in oil and more friction on the dry, hence the big motion out of modern equipment as it hooks and rolls off the oil pattern.
