I see medium light in one house, light in another, and the third is short, dry, and alot of friction

Wednesday's - Synthetics, usually a true medium look, can throw the mid range pieces

 

Thursdays' - Old wood, this year really wet/dry with a heavy puddle in the middle.  I normally play outside 8-9-10 at the arrows out to about 5-6 with a weak MoJave.  I avoid the middles there as they become over/under hell.

One league is medium and on occasion med-light(probably due to weather).
 
My other league has been "random volume of the week" ranging from medium-light to medium-heavy. Last I knew the house only stripped the lanes on two random days a week which probably explains the random volume and random backend reaction.
 
Tournaments have been nice this year with varying volumes from medium-light to medium-heavy and a nice mix of sport, challenge and house shots.

One house I bowl at with Brunswick Anvilane synthetics throws down a 43ft medium-heavy oil pattern.  That place usually sees the Nano to start and then down to the 919C/Anarchy depending on carrydown. 

The other house I bowl at with AMF HPL synthetics is normally a true medium shot.  That place usually sees me throwing the Vital Energy and Nomad Dagger.

This winter it's 39' "medium"/light volume, less than 21ml units from what I was told last month.

 The house I bowl in is really sensitive to humidity. They put out a medium shot but on days that are humid, the shot feels like heavy oil. As we get further into winter, the scoring goes up as there's more friction to work with.

None! 
 
From the reponses above does one see an issue when putting out these light - medium at best house shots and manufacturers putting out mega hookers?

How dose one know unless the house specificly tells you what they put down? my house I play deep with either my epidemic or og jet while most play up ten with a heavy oil piece, so I'll say heavy oil.

No because I'm primarily throwing them on tournament shots and not house shots. They might see a house shot just a few games a year. You have to know when to use and not use this type of ball. If you look at most brands lineups they're still putting out new mid price stuff which IMHO is more suited to the THS. They just don't get the marketing/hype that the high end stuff gets.
 
For league the two balls I'm using the most this year are a Marvel Pearl and a Reign.
