Sooo they decide to put out a pro shot tonight...
« on: February 21, 2005, 12:03:27 PM »
A few weeks back a guy threw a 300 299 227 actually it was last tuesday, i can understand why they might alter the pattern and i threw a 298 aswell. Sooo today monday night league its a bunch of older guys that are not pros buy no means theres people that avg 170-210. Tonight a guy bowled a 123,123, and a 96 he can adjust but this was extream you couldent make the ball hook tonight it was something i never experienced. i threw a few parctice games a 199 258 and a 207, i was suprized really, i dident know that was a pro shot then tho, in league a threw a 147 150 172. i jus couldent get the ball to turn over i hope the same shot isnt out next week...and i hope they use it for leagues all week. not just this league.

Are you sure it was a pro shot, or that they didn't just dump a ton of oil?  "Pro" shots aren't hard because you can't hook the ball, they're hard because you are actually penalized for bad shots.

What in hell is a "pro shot"?

Is anything that won't hook 15+ boards a pro shot?

Which "pro-pattern" was it?  There are 15 standard ones and 4 major patterns.

Sounds like pattern B-3.  50 microliters of oil for 42'.  Anything outside of 15 at the midlane pretty much stays there.  You have to play in breakpoint zone 3 and stay fairly deep in the lane.  Even us lefties have to play 4th-5th arrow to get to the hole.

I've shot my highest PBA game on pattern B (Shark Pattern) - a 276.

I've seen this pattern play pretty dry... And some of the shorter patterns play pretty wet. a lot depends on the condition of the lane and the machine, plus a lot of league bowlers are used to what I like to call "bounce" where when it gets outside 7 or 8, it bounces back. They can often mistake a light shot for a heavy one.

When the PBA put it down in the last 4 tournaments in which I encountered it, I didn't have the good fortune of any "bounce".  Wide shots gave one the pleasure of shooting at either a washout or 3-6-10 splits.  Every now and again you could add a 9 pin to that split arrangement.

No, the PBA Director didn't give us any "bounce" on Pattern B.

Apologies.  I said Pattern B was 42'.  It's actually 43'.  I must have had my Sport League oil on my mind.

Here's the link:
