You're also forgetting that if they're selling a ball, it has been used for less than 30 games.  

To their defense, they are new to the game and don't throw an effective hook yet, so everything probably seems like heavy oil.  It never hurts to overestimate your specs either.  Gives you a head start on inflating your worth on your resume...

I find many so called 200 bolwers can't read the lanes.

Most THS shots can be anything you want. I hit the heck out of a pearl resin and get in the dry early and complain all night they are dry. all the while poundering out loud how can so and so throw that charcol ball on this?

or I can layoff the ball and play 2 boards inside the oil line with ploshied particle and claim there oily.

lane reading is very subjective on the bowler skill/revs etc.

I wounder how many people actually know there oil pattern that they are on that post here.

I will tell you in Chicago area it's like pulling molars to get that kind of information from most propritiers unless some one works there and even half the time they don't know becuse someone programmed the lane machine and they just run it.
