I bowl on White (not sure if it's #1 or not) on my Tuesday night league, and I had been frustrated all season with how dry it was, as the season has gone on, I finally found some equipment that handles it decently, using a 900 Global Hook (Red/Yellow) to start, and a polished Track 300T after the pattern goes a bit, over the last few weeks my scores have been coming up a bit, and even hit a 300 this past week on it, which I would have never guessed by how I was doing early in the season, it's not too bad for 2-3 games, (we use 5 person teams), but past that, yeah I'd be looking for a urethane maybe for sure.
