Lane Surface at Go RVing Classic
« on: March 10, 2008, 02:23:54 AM »
Randy did a piece on the lane surface in which he said that it's a surface that the players don't see anywhere else on tour.  He said that each ten foot panel's surface is progressively softer.

Does anyone know what the surface is at the Norwich Bowling and Entertainment Center?

correct. I believe that the kegel lane surface is the only surface which even looks like that surface. If you were to see it in person you could tell it does not look anything like any Brunswick or AMF synthetic.

It's about time someone came up with a surface like this. It always seemed strange to me that synthetic lanes had the same surface hardness from front to back. It makes a lot of sense to go with a softer surface down the lane.
Now if someone could only come up with synthetic approaches that behave like wood approaches...

This lane surface seemed pretty cool.  For those who have played on it, what do you think of it compared to like a Pro Anvilane surface?
