Title: BJ pattern
Post by: bowler838 on June 25, 2014, 10:42:09 AM

I know the BJ pattern is the Minors pattern.  How close are they playing this year to when you actually bowling Doubles/Singles?  I didn't find them that similar last year.  But i was also sick when I was in Reno....Lucky me

Nowhere close.  Don't pay any attention to the BJ, use it to warm up, but otherwise don't pay any attention to it.  It plays MUCH wetter.

the BJ plays much wetter right?  Cause i thought minors last year hooked more than the BJ

For the most part, I agree. I did the BJ on fresh (10:00am squad) yesterday morning, followed by singles/doubles last night. The BJ definitely plays tighter. Still, the BJ a good warmup and worth bowling.
