Toasted Dry Lanes
« on: August 20, 2004, 01:55:09 PM »
Ok I am fed up with going to practice at my center and the lanes being totally toasted and not oiled for like 4 days. ITS BULL! League is perfect but it just pisses me off so much. Kills my arm cuz i gotta throw it hard, WTF. I know i need a dry lane ball which im getting but still, WTF why cant they oil the F*CKING LANES?!??! Ever? Ugh.. Im like sick of the BS. Im also kinda pissed cuz i went bowling with my family and my uncle was tormenting me and he knows NOTHING about bowling and i try to explain to him the lanes are toasted, im standing all the way to the left throwing to the first bored and it hooks to the 7 Pin? WHAT AM I SUPPOST TO DO? ugh. Rant! Rant!

hmmmmmmm try coming up here to hiway bowl in ontario... often the lanes will be striped for a few hours before league... and will only be oiled once a week before league.

so try bowling with a solid reactive for 6 games on NO OIL before complainiing.

Just adjust brother.

Why in the world would anyone do that?  Buy yourself a urethane ball or use a plastic spare ball.  --  JohnP

I feel your pain Nick.

I can't even practice anymore because one of the centers near me is too cheap to oil unless it is right before league otherwise they don't bother. Another doesn't put enough oil down when they dress the lanes so it doesn't even last for 5 hours.

It doesn't help that the oil machine is f*cked up once again. It's not stripping the outside from the 10 board to the gutter, and the backends are not stripping cleanly either. I'm not sure which is worse, having no oil or having oil not properly laid down leaving one massive hang spot for 45-50 feet.
