When they say "light oil", they really mean they "lighty" oil the lanes, and then don't touch them for a week, no joke. There is a Lucky Strike a mile from me in Boston. Official Member of the BrunsTrackColumStormHammEboRotoBuzzAMF Nation! HAHA just kidding! I see that we are still arguing the CGNOMADDAH / CGMADDAH issue in places on this forum. And if I go with plastic, what CG placement works best for. I know that even if I decide to bowl this company party (still not a certainty), I will be plenty rusty from not having bowled in so long.īasically, for anyone who has bowled at a place like that, I wanted to know the following:ġ) Can I expect to score decently if I go with the "spray and pray" bowling technique?Ģ) Are the lanes at places like that so brutal that I am better off just throwing plastic equipment pointed at the head pin (either house plastic or my own trusty spare ball)? I got so burned out and struggled so badly in my last league that I have been on a self-imposed "retirement" since May 2006. They are also synthetic AMF lanes, for what it's worth.Īnother concern for me is that I have not bowled in over two years. The house manager answered my email request about the lane conditions by simply saying the lanes are "lightly oiled". I also can't walk in there on any given day and watch the other bowlers to get an idea where to play the lanes. Since 99.9% of the bowlers who bowl at places like that use the house-provided plastic balls and shoes, I was unsure if I can count on any type of decent scoring condition. The thing is that if I decide to bowl, I still don't want to struggle out there and look like a rookie. OK OK, I know the whole point of something like that is just to have fun. I have a company work party in a couple of weeks at a place called Strike Orange County, and it looks to be one of those places like Lucky Strike Lanes where it's all neon bowling, no leagues, and basically a place to just have fun and not take anything seriously. Has anyone used their own reactive equipment at one of those bowling places like Lucky Strike Lanes?
