House for practice
« on: March 04, 2008, 01:34:13 AM »
Are any of the other houses in ABQ set up with the USBC pattern for practice?

I did not see any advertised or run into any while I was there.  I did find the Roto Grip challenge to be the most similar to the actual National shot.

I thought the Team Scratch Challenge tournament was the USBC shot?
Dirty said it was pretty close when they bowled it.

our local center will be putting the pattern out for us and a few other local teams to practice on.  however, some might consider it to be cheating.  oh well.

I believe on Fridays Gary Skidmore puts the pattern out on the first 8 lanes at Holiday bowl. (also the site for the Bowlers Journal)

A local house in the Chicago suburbs is putting out the shot after league, but all of you that think you can emuulate the shot, you must have the exact lane surfaces and wear that the USBC open shot has. Some of your house surfaces, may be much more worn (more friction to begin with) so they wont play the same. It can only be similar, but not the same. Also, I would think you would need the same lane oil and machine to lay it down.
