AMF vs Brunswick lanes
« on: February 23, 2016, 01:44:04 AM »
If both an AMF SPL and a Brunswick Pro lane surface were both oiled with the same machine, conditioner, volume, length, etc....would one still have more friction than the other as play continues?

I bowl on these two surfaces and the SPL has a lot of friction compared to the Pro Lane at the other house. Of course one has a walker and the other an Authority 22 machine. One house puts less volume vs the other house. But if everything was equal, would the SPL still have more friction?

As far as I have seen, Brunswick Pro Anvil needs less oil, many times, much less oil to have as much skid as AMF SPL lanes. AMF synthetics seem to provide more friction.

SPL is harder than the HPL it replaced, but it still softer than Brunswick Pro Lane.  AMF surfaces have always had stronger back end reactions than Brunswick on the same amount of oil
