Title: Does anyone bowl on half/half lanes?
Post by: TheBowlingKid25 on February 05, 2004, 06:27:14 PM

I was thinking, and noticed that I see posts about all synthetic lanes, or all wood lanes, but nothing about half syn. half wood. I bowled on one of these a couple months back, MAN are they hard to get used to, at least IMO. Does anyone bowl on half and half lanes? these lanes were set up with the back half of the aproach syn. front half wood, then the heads were wood, and it changes to syn. abt half way down.

Where did you bowl at these?  Was that the singles-doubles tourney? Or somewhere else?

You just know I'll be anywhere you start a topic.

HAHA andy, I know this now. It was at the doubles/singles like a month or so back. The heads were wood, and the whole back of the lane was synthetic, not to mention BAKED! I bowle 2 outta 3 games w/ my Urethane Scout, playin 20 board out to like 15. I threw my predator and literally was standing in front of the left gutter, just a WEE BIT strong for that lane LOL

I bowl as a sub on lanes that have wood approaches, AMF plastic lanes from the foul line down to about 20 feet, then the original wood lanes (from 1961)and covered with guardian(1995) to the pin deck, and new pin decks (1996).

My thoughts?

Wood approaches- Beat the daylights out of Synthetic approaches.

Synthetic heads- Can't imagine the ball getting through the front any cleaner.

Wood/guardian backends- very hard hooking area

New pindecks- high speed pin action

I pretty much bowl on the right half of the lanes. unless I have to shoot a 4 pin.
