well if your average goes down than everyones will go down, with strokers going way down, crankers going down a little bit. Shouldnt matter too much, except you wont be able to brag about your high average.

Very very true....the thing is though....if ya work in a bowling alley you really need to be interested in bowling.....and the sad part is in bowling this month it gives the lane conditions that they test balls on and the oily ones(patterns) are no more than 55 units most of the time......just makes me mad kinda.....to think they spend all that money upgrading and no time to read a magazine or call brunswick and ask to help them setup a shot......

Just a couple of observations.  There isn’t much difference between 10 units or oil and 80 units of oil.  A particle ball will skid on 10 units.  The only thing the extra units do is let the pattern last longer.  I doubt very much if they are running 80 units the entire 42 foot, probably only thru the heads.  

As  far as the stripper goes, I haven’t seen any lane machine with a water heater in it.  Think about your complaint.  They heat the stripper up, pour it into the machine, run a couple of lanes.  The solution cools down.  Are they then supposed to dump it out, reheat more to finish the rest of the lanes.

What it sounds like to me is the house has changed the shot and people are having to move out of their comfort zone.  Welcome the chance to try something different.

You're right though, going to take a while to figure the shot out.  Plenty of oil on the slickest lane surface available.
