Well I talked to the person who oils the lanes and he said it was the same but he is using less oil on the insides.  In the fall it changes every week cause the lanes puddle up but they try a 10 by 10, like i say in my profile these lanes are awful, but it usually is good place to get better.  The people that are havin success are extremely low rev bowlers and straight bowlers(its a fun league, why ain't i havin fun then, lol).  
I have tried earlier rolling balls, old school hammer urethanes and a weak drilled savage, to try to kill some of the backend, with no sucess.  Thanx for the advise though

Yeah, I dealt with this last summer.  Averaged 213 on the fall shot, then damn-near killed myself trying to keep 190 in the summer.  They reduced the volume of oil on the lane because we were a 4-man vs. 5 man team.  To me, it was like they stopped oiling the lanes altogether.  Suddenly keeping anything on the pocket side of the headpin became a physical nightmare.

If horse racing is the sport of kings, then surely bowling is a very good sport as well.

Down and in?  Most LHs I have watched mainly play that type of line.  Which brings up a question for slimeypebble.  Have you tried moving your line in deep?  Like 20 to 15, to avoid the dry outsides?  With less oil volume but the same pattern, the ball sounds like it is revving up quicker in the reduced volume and really taking off when it hits the dry, so trying to keep it in the oil longer may help.

don't mean to be redundant here - but - have you tried plastic?
either a spare type ball or an XXXL?
Because if these balls won't work for you on this kind of condition, you might want to seriously evaluate your A game, and develop a B game for toast.

Hey slimeypebble its sounds like lane i bowl on. i avg 207 in my fall league and right now im barely avg 185.  Im the only high rev rate player that bowls in the league so it sucks. Last week i was throwing my highly polished spare ball cross 4th arrow to about 10 with some what good carry. its either that or take my weakest ball and toss it over gutter and be more in back of the ball and still go Brooklyn. Then i look at what other people are throwing and there throwing XXX X factors, KILLER INSTINCT SANDED, and Big Blue and Big Blue Pearls. So I go and talk to my lane guy, btw (Hes a Big Drunk) and he said that the lane only supplys him with a certain amount of oil each month and it has to last. I got a Blazing Inferno coming this thursday and im going to drill this thing to go LONG!!!! Im still going to be playing around 5 or 6 arrow with is but thats where i play my best. So Slimeypebble i would drill up a Sonic x Pearl or a Soild, that would do the trick. Go To
