What seems to be working better, arcing balls or skid/flippy ones?  Also, anybody want to share what breakpoint(s) on both the right and left sides seem to work the best?

True, but we're all going to be playing the same fresh oil pattern (with small environmental variables) with the same kickbacks, pindecks and pins. Fresh oil patterns usually favor one track shape or the other until it starts to break down.

As for breakpoints, there usually is one or two highest scoring breakpoint areas on either side of the lane. The bowlers personal style is only a factor in how they get to that breakpoint.

Also, what seems to be carrying better, high flush or light?

Find the article written by Jeff Richgels. It is posted in the PBA Midwest region board. Very good detailed report on the way their teeam played the lanes and equipment that he used. My take on his article was that he felt balls that will arc more carried better in his opinion.

Leaving Sat and bowl team Monday, D/S Tuesday early. Taking a dull particle,a scuffed pearl, oob pearl, polished resin stacked and sheen cover resin. We will see how it goes.
