You beat me to it Chris, I was wondering if I should use last year's thread or start up a new one. Which place is wood? I think your questions are very good, nobody wants somebody else to help them score higher than those giving the info, but types of balls and surface information is something that can be shared. I thought the info given last year was great. On a side note, are you still using the shoes I sold you?

Team is old wood, with lots of friction.  Minors are HPL's that are 10ish years old.  Haven't watched any squads yet, so I can really help you much. 

Karl ray is (team) old wood but talking to a group that just came back, they have increased the volume to compensate for the burnt heads.  They said both houses were very playable.

Great advice guys! I'm a Lefty, and we got at least one other so we'll see how that goes.
Glad to see they increased the volume, but how about the people that had to bowl on it before, they can't be too happy about that.

That makes sense then.

So far this is the arsenal I'm thinking of bringing.
I'm about 325 RPM's, 15mph, Lefty.

Storm Vivid OOB + Storm Step 1 (strongest rolling)
Storm Frantic @ 2000 Abralon (snappy backend)
Roto Grip Rising Star OOB (even rolling, predicable)
Hammer BW Venom @ 4000 Abralon (strong pearl)

My biggest question is to bring or not to bring my Motiv Recon Silver, it was very good to me at the wood house last year, clean through the heads and still enough on the back, but if the wood lanes are slicker, than it probably isn't worth it.

I agree, but I only have a four-ball roller plus my spare ball in a differnt bag, plus luggage for overnight stay. Traveling along with 4 other bowlers doesn't leave a lot of room. So this is the best combo of my stuff I can think of.
Other possiblities are:
Storm Hy-Road OOB
Motiv Thrash 2000+Polish
Motiv TZ3 OOB
