I remember we'd be salivating for the crews to finish with the lanes. Typically, scores were their highest right after lanes were cut, resurfaced, and refinished. We would play from the gutter. The current Cheetah and Wolf patterns had nothing on that shot. (Of course, we're talking 30, 35 years ago, and using Yellow Dots and LT-48s.)

Thankfully here in the Knoxville area there's still one bowling alley with wood lanes. :)
