Brunswick Syhthetic Lanes (ProAnvilane's) have more friction and the
AMF Synthetic Lanes (HPL Series). I would image that Brunswick
ProLane
Synthetic would also have more friction than the AMF's... but this
is
just my guess.

But there are several other companies making synthetic lanes.
Here is a good list...

Depend on the Brand, like Brunswick, AMF synthetic lane. Some
synthetic lane looks like a oak wood (very dark) Some is very light
color.
