Granted there are quite a few variations and patterns under the name "sport shot", I would suggest something not too snappy and more an arc or strong arc type reaction. The one and only sport shot I bowled on, matched up very well with my Absolute Inferno though if it could have gotten into a roll a little earlier I feel it would have been for the better.

That was a pretty long pattern though, flat I would say. Miss your mark inside, your crossing over, get it outside of your mark, forget it. Your not even going to hit the headpin. There are short sport shot patterns like 35' which I dont think you'll be needing an AI or anything stronger for that matter. Do you know the length of the pattern?

The best stuff that works on a sport shot is something with a nice even arc. Long and snappy can get an over/under reaction depending on your line.

Straighter is greater with tamer layouts. Expect less hold and less send. Relax as the scoring pace will be lower...and remember because it is typical that striking will be less, it is more important to make your spares and live in pocket with 9's and a lower strike percentage. Good Luck.

When adjusting it is good to move everything the same amount. Like on a THS you will normally move in a 2:1 raito(feet and mark). On a sport shot it is good to move 2:2, from what I have learned.

Hope this helps
