so the ball will roll easier and the ball will hook harder when the oil ends making for a better hit. without oil you would have to bowl straight. hooking on a dry lane will but you in the gutter hard

When Bowling sometimes you end up with either a smooth or rough ball if the bowling lane is rough the lanes would get messed up. If it is a smooth ball it wont go all the way down because it has no momentum.

Lane conditioner, which is an oil based product, is applied to the front portion of the lane to help protect the lane from the friction of the bowling ball and to create a pattern to create a challenge in bowling.
