For one league I bowl in it seems you get punished using stronger equipment. A whole lot of splits and very strange leaves despite how good the ball looks going off the deck. Itls not just me as I see other bowlers constantly get punished in this house. On the other hand I also see low rev up and in bowlers do very well topping the ball and throwing a straight shot and carry pretty good so Im putting the reactive stuff away and going urethane only. Anyone else have ever had the same issues in a particular house? I would rather grind out games instead of the ordeal of leaving pins on the deck.

I felt the same way. My strongest ball for league is a Hustle Ink, then a Super Natural, and the Ride. The Hustle Ink is just too much ball that I have to put it away during the first game. I just got a Black Widow Urethane, thinking that this way the answer to all my problems. Finally got it after waiting almost a month, and bowled with it for the first time in league. Needless to say that it didn't work out so well and had to go back to the Ride.  The BW wasn't carrying no matter where I played and kept leaving single pins or splits.
Any  suggestions for a surface change? It just has a very light coat of polish on it at the moment.

I would try 500 or 1000 on your widow. urethane is about early mid lane and a calm backend. carry is another thing but since I cant carry with the strong stuff I would be happy with makeable spares. be ready to grind and be left out when the scoring frenzy hits,you will be on the outside looking in.

two other houses I bowl in must have those.... not.
I have a hyroad nano and a street fight that I really like but not in the problem house. I've tried all sorts of reactive with same results spanning 3 years and I'm 15 pins lower in average in the problem house. you keep it up ten to 15 board you can shoot decent, anywhere else and the carry is baffling despite how well the ball enters the pocket. reactive wont allow me to play there for very long. I'm giving up on reactive in the problem house and going urethane.
I have a storm thunderflash that I hit with a maroon scotchbrite and an original black hammer in 1000 grit and have my eye on the black hammer remake.

BTW I think the issue is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrEgZkwvazQ

I agree with Avabob. Your release style is by far the overwhelming factor in determining ball motion. It also dictates the type of equipment that works best for your particular release style. I am speed dominant. Therefore, 99.9% of the conditions I bowl on
demand that I use resin equipment.  I almost never get over-under reactions on THS due to my speed and straighter trajectory, but many of my teammates do . 

I went back to an old Hammer urethane three years ago. It works fine on any lane condition and i like its consistent roll. My carry and makeable spare percentages are so much better vs the reactives. It's kind of nice just lugging around one ball now too. Haha!
