The Bowling Lane - From All Sides

I’d love to hear what people have to say with regard to different lane surfaces around the traps. Urethane, HPL, Brunswick Synthetics and different lengths and volumes of oil. Probably work best if folks use one example at a time and tell us how they play (i.e. stroker, tweener, cranker, righty or lefty).

Some suggested topics:
  • How do you like to play this surface?
  • How it reacts in oil and dry?
  • Do the heads hold up?
  • What sort of backend reaction you can expect to see?
  • What surface ball works best for you on this surface? (not just the brand - tell us what it’s made of - not sure? Go to the manufacturers web site.)

It would also be very interesting to see what the techs out there see happening from their perspective. Are certain types of ball making funny things happen to certain types of lanes?
 
As of me sometimes I am picky with the floors and in our town the lane 14 is my favorite one.

Out of curiosity WHY (Does it play different? or is it a superstitious thing)

Is lane 14 the last lane in the house i.e. up against a wall or walkway
 
Oh sorry, its not lane 14 I mean it's lane 4, It's just I have a got feeling when I used the lane 4 I always won.. :)
