Short oil qestion
« on: November 19, 2006, 10:22:06 AM »
Today i went to a 5 game sweeper tounament in farrell pa, shots consisted of 1, house shot, 2, shor oil sport shot 3, long oil sport shot 4, long oil shot and 5, short oil shot.

Patterns 2 and 5 were simular aswell as 3 and 4

I shot good on the hs, long oil sport shot and long oil pattern.

Pattern 2 and 5, i could not keep the ball on the right side of the head pin. I was not informed lenght of oil but i assumed 30 feet... how do i shoot on this pattern ?

The general rule is that the shorter the pattern, the closer your break point should be to the foul line and also the gutter.  That's why the PBA players feed the ball to the gutter early on the Cheetah pattern.
