So if you dont know, i joined a pba experience league. The league takes us through the 5 oil patterns used on the tour plus the us open pattern. This week was the US Open pattern, 40 feet of flat oil. I had no idea what to expect really, the only thing I knew was it was going to be very challenging. Wow...
So I started off by throwing the ultra zone. During practice, i tried throwing straight down the 8 which seemed to hit the pocket ok. that bad part is if i missed by a couple boards right, it would just slide and slide and slide. I really had to take the thought out of my head that if i missed right, it would recover. So i tried 3 different lines that game. i ended up shooting a 92. yep... splits galore. I learned that if i missed by 2 boards left or right, i would miss the head pin.
Second game i picked up the storm t road that michael gave me. It is drilled pin high as opposed to pin low like the ultra. It worked so much better on that pattern. My second game was a 127 :).
We moved pairs and that shot was way burnt out compared to the first pair. i got a 173. then the last game was a 135 or something.
we are bowling the us open pattern on one lane next week, but I never want to bowl on it again. It just makes you realize how much you depend on a league style pattern.
