I like this a lot for a learning tool on TV. When you get into it though, the dye is going to get in everything, clothes, skin, and the balls. With so much focus on appearance i'm sure you'll love that gold ball or 400A when it is nice and blue around your ball track.

did you see one of the bowlers posted a pic of his Tour Pearl's flare on the oil? Oh it's a spectacle, Lol! I have to agree that it'll get into everything.

Yeah a storm rep posted it, it was Dom's ball

So many uneducated comments on facebook posts about this.

People don't understand that this is not being used for the PBA players, this is being used to help inform the viewers about the professional level of bowling. Trying to reestablish sport credibility with general populations.

The advantage I can see for a bowler is the ability to see the fronts breaking down, as it will be right in front of them. With all the lights inside bowling centers and especially on the PBA setups, I don't see anyway a bowler will be able to see exactly how the oil is breaking down with the glare/reflection. You still have to repeat shots and know when exactly and which way to move to maximize carry.

I would love to see this in my house so that the few lefties can stop bitchin that righties have the biggest advantage on THS.  Absolute blasphemy

What? LOL Lefties have the advantage as their shot stays relatively the same. There are so many more right handed bowlers than left, causing the right side to break down faster

SV isn't that insane?  This is the first house I have ever heard it in.  Every other house it has always been known that lefties the have advantage. I think their claim is our side is walled up. Completely insane

Down here in Texas, there are houses that do not oil equally on the left and the right.  The theory being, that yes, there is way less play on the left so with less oil starting on the left, both sides will have to move and make adjustments during the set instead of the lefties standing and throwing in the same place all night. 

They are trying to keep it somewhat fair and require both sides to have to make moves.  However, if you are a high rev lefty, some have to ball down to urethane or plastic as it is just too dry while the right handers can start with the high end stuff.
