When you bowl on very dry lanes, these white rings where your track is clearly are the surface of the ball being burned a bit by the friction between the lane and the ball. Do these also signify that the lane surface is getting burned up a bit, or is it possible this could happen on a good lane surface that just hasn't been oiled well lately. I have seen this happen at 2 centers in the SoCal area, Pickwick, and Foothill Lanes, and am beginning to see it in a house I bowl in a lot, primarily from the house putting so little oil outside of 10 board. Just wondering if this means the lane surface is beginning to go, or just from a lack of oil at this point in time. Thanks.
