Brunswick Bowling and Billiards recently introduced a brand-new lane conditioner, Connect, and its success has already been proven during the inaugural Professional Bowlers Association’s World Series of Bowling (WSOB). The top three bowlers during the Motor City Open each knocked down over 9,000 pins after 39 games of matchplay.

PBA lane man, Mark Sabatine, introduced the silicone-free, 33.0 viscosity conditioner to the world’s top bowlers during the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour Motor City Open, the first in the seven-week long series of tournaments. "It is an excellent oil for the less-aggressive reacting surfaces, but performs well with other surfaces, too. I am very excited to be using it for the National Tour,” said Sabatine.

The lane conditioner, developed by Brunswick Research & Development, gives bowlers the final link to great scores, combining the right equipment with the lane surface, the lane pattern and the environment. Connect lane conditioner combines cutting-edge technology with real-world expectations and was developed to enable bowlers to run longer patterns without risk of losing the outside boards.

Connect lane conditioner will be used to condition the lanes at various PBA tournaments during the 2009 and 2010 season.

Brunswick Bowling & Billiards is the official lane maintenance supplier for PBA Tour events, including the Authority22® lane machine, cleaner, conditioner and cloth. The remainder of the WSOB tournaments will be held at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park, Mich., a center that houses 94 lanes of Brunswick Pro Lane™ synthetic lanes.
