If you bowl with a hook, the oil buildup will affect the reaction of your ball. For instance, if you were previously balancing on the edge of the lane before your hook, an accumulation of oil can cause you to not catch that last little bit of lane and fall into the gutter. Similarly, if you aren't flirting with the edge of the lane, the oil buildup can cause your ball to react later and with less intensity, causing you to miss the pocket.
