We switched right before we went to nationals in late May.  Mostly to put the patterns out before we left.  They played basically the exact same as what we saw in Reno. 

At our center (HPL lanes), they do play slightly tighter than with the Infinity we were using.  It's hard to tell what's going to happen in the fall on our 5 man team men's league, but i'm hoping it will hold up a little better towards the end of the night.  Time will tell i suppose, and the price isn't much more either

I don't think people will see much difference on house shots.  In Reno the only thing I noticed different from past years was a lot less jerk when the ball came off the end of the pattern.   Also, for the first time I can remember the shot in Reno played a lot closer to what our home centers were putting out when they set down the team pattern.  This was true even if they weren't using the ice oil.
