I bowled once on wood lanes that had not been oiled in years. Use a house ball and rolled from the beginning of the take off area. Rolled across the lane from the left. Had to go to the 4th board from the right gutter before it broke back to the pocket. It was interesting! This was a Nellis AFB Aux Field back in 1979!

I'm sorry Packy that didn't look like no oil to me , that was a good lane condition in my centre ! No oil is when you put the ball on the lane and it hooks just past the arrows and if your lucky hits the corner pin .

From my understanding, wouldn’t flare be mostly affected by pulling weight near the pin? For balls intended to work high friction, low flaring drills sound like a rather logical solution. On the other side, for anyone with a lesser refined release, getting that close to 0 intermediate diff with a symmetric ball is likely to give inconsistent ball reaction. Just my 2 cents

For dry lanes, I have A Hustle Wine and a Tropical Storm, both are great on the dryer lanes, but don't discount them, they will indeed grab and suddenly take off on you. I have a Hammer Ocean Vibe (new version), and it's not the greatest on super dry, but it will get job done with some effort if I do my part. We seem to have good oil, ludicrous oil, or Sahara desert dry lanes.

hey man you should be more detailed with this question, what do you mean by opinion, what he likes/dislikes? just a guess but as a 2 handed lefty id guess he likes shorter patterns with the purple hammer because he can keep the ball infront of him and play an easier shape. and since hes left handed if it starts easy it will remain easy for most of the day. but if its a challenging pattern he could dislike it. really just depends.
