haa, okie, anyway, my real name is jae, and i dun play
everyweek, so u may not see me ard too 
hm, i think when the alley was run by cathay, they did quite a good
job... proper maintenance of the lanes, striping and oiling the
lanes before the start of leagues. -> good backends, consistent
lanes condition -> advantages to hook bowlers over spinners and
straight ballers
i think the problematic period is ard last nov to jan period...
super oily lane condition... no backend, the ball just skid all the
way back to the pin deck area...thus leaving lots of splits... i
had a difficult period back then too.
the last few weeks that i bowled, still managable, at least there
is some backend... but yah, think cathay did a better job, but hope
that Orchid will improve the lanes maintenance in the near
future...
dun think the spinners will complaint though
