I cannot believe there are people actually calling for this. If you do that, yes it may be difficult to see where the change in units occur, but it is still taking away from the game. Part of bowling is finding where your ball works best, if you put coloring ing the oil that would make it far too easy. You would be able to see the carrydown, which is one of the more difficult obstacles to over come in bowling.

I am just saying, with many of the patterns out there now, and the equipment being so advanced the game is far easier than it was  a while back.

I wouldn't want the colored lane conditioner in league or tourneys, but I think to have it as an option when practicing would help SO much in learning how to read lanes & breakpoints.

after time the coloring would stain the lanes and you wouldn't be able to tell anyway so I see no point. Some oils glow under a black light though.

Not to mention the pins getting stained and changing color.  And you wouldnt want to wear a white shirt while bowling.  But you could have different colors for the different types of oil.  And maybe some would be scented.
