Hello all!

I practice at a house every once in awhile that has IMO poor approachs Anvaline from about 11-12 years ago I think. It is very inconsitent as I move deeper on the approach on some pairs I slide to much on others I stick very annoying overall. I don't like changing heels and soles to JUST practice so part is on my head but, should their be that much difference? It seems like the guys that move left fast run into the issue a friend of mine and I have been complaining about the issue for awhile. I have taken to licking my fingers then wiping the bottom of my shoe on all of my shots at least that way i stick all the time. I have talked to one of the guys that run the house and he said their is not much to do we gave each other crap just for the heck of it then got a good laugh out of it. But in all seriousness do any of you guys get the same thing? anyone else having issues with older synthetic approaches?

I attribute this to the fact that this is an area of very little use. Dust will push from side to side from the normal area of use (our approach) so it will build up on the far right and far left part of the approach. Similar to dust gathering under a ball return.

The times we stick may be actual oil from the machine as it is dragged over the lane while it is being moved from lane to lane. I hardly see people use lane dusters anymore, used to be part of my job as a kid in a center. It can also depend on the cleaner that the center uses.

What I do if I encounter this is to clean it or have it cleaned so I don't break my neck (whether I'm sticking or sliding) when I have to use that part of the lane.
