I normally bowl in a bowling center with old brunswick lanes and a THS,and when i go bowling to another center with AMF lanes and a flatter non-blocked pattern it seems my ball revs much more off my hand and is more truthful to my axis rotation and my tilt and how much hand i put in the ball
i have also noticed the same when i bowl in longer patterns, I seem to have more revs and more axis rotation in this patterns than in my THS even when they're laid in the same old brunswick lanes

so does lane surfaces and oil patterns affects how a ball revs?

I don't mean just how much it revs in the midlane and backend by itself, i mean how much it revs off the hand, like, in some oil patterns or in some surfaces is easier to impart revs to a bowling ball?
