Jabroni,
And I am sure you know exactly how I roll the ball, so you would know what kind of reaction I would get.
The house machine as you call it is a Kustodian Plus which is the exact same machine as the ION only corded, as is the cleaner, only difference is HPL vs ProAnvil and Offense HV vs Infinity.
I was not bowling on old beat up lanes they were just installed 8 months ago so the difference between the surfaces is minimal and synthetics actually get slicker before the start getting a higher level of friction.
When manufactured they have a certain degree of irregularity to the surface to help them hold oil and slow down carry-down, these irregularities make their biggest transition in the first year or so, this is a documented fact.
Have you looked at the program or the tape readings that have been posted @ bowl.com.
Program 6.33:1, Tape 37' 63 & 7 units, 25' 46 & 7 units, 37' 22 & 4 units.
That is a 9:1 pattern at 15' which is not much more than a THS.
Haven't you ever seen someone bowl that had it easier than you thought they should have because they matched up well.
I watched another guy shoot on the pattern and it appeared much more difficult for him due to his style, he has much more speed and tilt than I do with more revs too but he always gets more length than I do because of speed.
If you would pay attention you would see that on the outside shots that you say I had too much room on you will notice that I never missed by more than a board at the arrows and no more than 2 at the break point on those shots. The inside shots are slower and were after I had blown a bit of a hole in the pattern and created a little extra recovery. One other thing when you are only about 15pmh at the pin deck recovery is not a problem when there is < 10 units outside 5 @ 37'.

Sean,
Saw your post and you are right. Corpus this year is not much more than a house shot, 3-2's. From talking to some of the guys who just came back you can play anywhere you want and still score(If you throw it well). A lot depends if you catch 1st 2nd and 3rd shift and who is in front of you as 3rd shift really dries out. From what the guys said you don't want overly aggressive balls and especially need something for dry, maybe a high Rg like the Desert Heat with a mild drilling.
