Is this not the same house the PBA bowled last year that had wood lanes with guardian on them? Why did they do this?
For once I'd love to see a house rip out beat up synthetics and replace them with wood. Pretty soon, we will have no more wood lane houses left.

They had no choice a local resurfacer told him he had not cuts left and the surface was in dire need of repair.
The owner told me that Pro Lane is different from Pro Anvilane. The panesl start hardest and get softer in each successive panel. This is similar to wood lanes.
When they "wall" them up over there, the lanes get stoopid easy.

Seeing as there is much higher cost of upkeep on wood, you won't see any houses using them soon. It costs more over the long haul to have wood refinished than synthetic.

So are you saying we have no chance for any house in this country to install wood lanes? I guess the second question would be does anyone manufacture them still?

And no one finds that sad? I was looking forward watching them play on that lane surface like last year just to see it's like every other synthetic house. With that said, how impressive is it that Barnes won in the same house back to back years on different lane patterns and surface?

WHY HAS NOBODY FLAMED BRIAN? (J/K
)He doesn't want to advance lane technology, he wants to keep old fashined wooden lanes. He wants to keep the lanes the way they were 100 years ago. He must be some kind of subversive nazi communist ludite to want to ignore technological advancement.
At least that's the way I get flamed for wanting to keep the old balls the way they were.
But, on a serious note, why keep old wood lanes in service when advancements have been made in lane surface technology? The synthetics are cheaper, easier to maintain, work better with reactive resin, and last longer than the old wood lanes, don't they?
If technology makes bowling balls better, doesn't that mean it's better for lanes surfaces as well?
