Shot, yes; house, NO!
Love the oil amount; hate the house. Oh be prepared for a little more than average tacky approaches also. Humidity in Corpus CHristi can be VERY high.
Any loft more than say 4 feet out and the ball seems to hit a soft spot, almost a sprung suspension, so to speak, and jumps left, for a righty. I only bowled on lanes 1-8, 4 pairs, but several people noticed the same thing. Having played in dry houses for too long, I have a little more loft than some folks but nowhere near an extraordinary amount. I was quite surprised by this. It seems necesary to lay the ball down VERY smoothly, with very little loft. Many people do this; some don't. Yes, we should, especially on so MUCH oil, which I Loved. But this bounce effect was hard to overcome, for me anyway.
If you're PBA-smooth, sand your strongest, earliest ball and have fun. Otherwise, be prepared to lay the ball down early, at least when they're freshly oiled.

I think it's about 48 feet of heavy, flat oil.

So was the graph posted or is 48ft an educated guess? I once shot on a 46 foot sport condition in practice... That was different... 2 more feet may not a big deal depending on the volume, which I assume is light to light medium... any more than that would cause issues with the pinsetters correct?
Not if they have a pinchaser per 2 or even 4 of the lanes out back...

Capt Dave Ingraham:
It was NOT light oil; that I guarantee. The USBC Nationals was light.
I'm recall someone seeing a graph posted somewhere at the center.
