Q: What should I do if the track dries up too quickly?
A: Many bowling centers do not apply enough oil to the track on both forward and return
passes. The volume (in units) at the end of the pattern should be slightly more than the
outside boards. Applying oil to the track on the return pass provides longevity and stability.
This application of oil can be started further down the lane on the return without drastically
affecting the forward oil readings and ball reaction.
Q: What should I do if there is no taper to my pattern?
A: The easiest way to create taper in the pattern is to make adjustments to your drive speeds
during the forward loads only. Increasing the drive speed on your forward run should allow
the lane condition to taper properly.
