So yesterday in the pba experience league, they oiled the left lane in the cheetah pattern, and the right lane using the us open pattern. See my last post about the open pattern for the conditions. The cheetah "has the most friction" of all the patterns. It is only 36 feet and doesnt have all that much oil on the middle part of the lane. It forces you to make your break point right near the gutter(1-5 board) so its really tough because that is almost to close for comfort.
So my first game I was having a really tough time keeping my break point near the gutter on the cheetah. I tried flattening out my ball, throwing it harder, everything. What ended up working for me was just flattening my shot on the open pattern, and throwing my normal release on the cheetah.
So from the second game on, i played straight up the 10 board on the open pattern, and then about 12 to 3/4 on the cheetah. If i could hit my mark, it would strike. On my second game, every ball except for 2 that i threw on the open pattern struck. that was about as good as i got.
I shot 154, 169, 164, 144. I know its not good, but there is some improvement there from last week. About 100 pins total. Next week will be the Cheetah on both sides. I think I will try using the ultra that night and see what happens.
