How it moves

Foul lineArrows · 15 ft48 ft · board 5.58.5° entry
Hockey-stick turn (asymmetric core). Dotted is skid, then the turn, then the roll into the pocket. Estimated from the coverstock, finish, core, and differential for a right-handed bowler with medium revs on a house shot. Lane conditions, speed, and layout move all of this.

500/1000/1500 Siaair, Crown Factory Compound. Skims the oil and saves its energy for the dry part of the lane: longer skid, later and sharper hook. Polished and pearl balls. Surface changes over games, and a pro shop can take any ball either way with a pad.
