I return to my argument that this problem has been caused by the super aggressive shells on balls. I have been a proponent for along time of disallowing resin balls, and requiring that urethane be buffed to 4000. My argument has never had anything to do with the scoring levels, but rather what the hook in a box shells do to the lane pattern.
It is ironic that just as technology finally gave us lane machines that could precisely put down oil patterns the way greens keepers mow and water greens, we get balls that blow these patterns up so fast it makes little difference what pattern is put down.
