We bowled in March. Both houses Wood. Lots of friction with a little flatter pattern down lane. As stated above, this moved most bowlers in but carry was worse the more angle you got. We had much better luck with straighter angles from inside and avoiding anything really skid\flip. best scores came from bowlers with less tilt that could playup 12-13 or small loops of those angles. polished crux (original version) pin down, Motiv paranoia w pin in the ring finger, and Storm Ride where my main balls. Hope this helps.... Brackets paid well with it being tough to put three solid games together.
