Do you have trouble scoring with the quardian , we had it before we went to the sythentics and the scores were horrible. The balls would rev up early and nothing on the backends...

I've had similar reactions from guardian surfaces.

All places I shoot at are synthetic.

Well, there's this one place, where 40-60 feet or 45-60 feet looks like wood, and 1-40 or 1-45 is synthetic.  It only looks like it though.

hammertime24,

I have a real problem w/ carrydown in my house. They carrydown fast, leaving drying heads and little to no backends. Low scores across the table.

In Palo Alto we bowl on a wood surface. The surface is in fair condition. They will need to be replaced in the next few years, depending on the renewal of the lease of the center. I also bowl at Serra Bowl (near SF) and they have Murrey-Brand synthetic lanes. It is similar to the DBA/Brunswick surface and is in average condition.

Really old wooden lanes.  I'm pretty sure that our house bought them used since they are so cheap.......

All wood in both houses. The lanes in one house are well maintained, the other one you can see the wear and tear on them...

Brunswick ProAnvil Lanes are the hardest surface that they currently make. Which you don't get much help from the lanes, as in wood lanes you have track area to play that is usually wore down. HPL's are known for having strong backends due to the surface being softer...

Sometimes it is hard to match up while bowling on the ProAnvil lanes, even in league play due to the different styles of whom you bowl with that night..
Sometimes it is an advantage and or a disadvantage....

Please clue me in as to why HPL's have stronger backends due to being softer?  If anything being softer would be more like wood which would carrydown a bit easier.  Harder surface would not leave as large an imprint for balls to carrydown lane conditioner.
