How To Improve On Sport Oil Patterns 

Amen.

I’ve seen them put out 4 different patterns across 4 lanes and then have the pro’s bowl a game on the lanes each shot is on a different pattern, one time my house was out of oil so they substituted with vegetable oil the highest avg set that night was 159 from a guy that usually avg’d 220 or better, and that was the worst thing we were setting averages that night the ball would not hook at all unless you threw it about 7-8 mph I threw my normal 17mph shot to line up it slides right into the gutter so I throw up 5 it just slides down and hooks maybe 3-4 boards was horrible

Congrats

badrus zaman thanks

I guess they don't read comments.

BC Paletta Most of the time when I’m not Carrying, it is when I am not staying with my shot or staying down. If I pop up or step to the right then the rotation on the ball is going to be different causing ten pins. If you stay down and with your shot and hit the pocket you should be able to carry at a higher percentage.

TSlim COD Thank you! I'm gonna focus on that tonight in my league. Appreciate the advice

Darrin Lindsey appreciate the advice. I will try that tonight. I do move left and right and adjust my eyes but never tried just 1/2 a board. I always move 2 to 3 boards so that could be part of my problem as well. Thanks

Darrin Lindsey I agree actually I’m redoing this comment, if you stay balanced at the line and stay with the ball and you throw a good pocket shot and strike, then you have the correct angle of entry and the next shot you fall off to the right and rotation on the ball is different. There will be a different rotation on the backend therefore different angle of entry leading to a ten pin. You can make 1 1/2 board moves, I do it sometimes on 10 pins just don’t do anything drastic.

Darrin Lindsey I wrote a new comment refresh your page.

always walk straight for the sake of consistency. Lots of right-handed players have a natural drift to the left, but as long as it's consistent, shouldn't be a big deal.

Red Square is playing the topography of your center basically.

All three of my leagues are 15 minutes of warm-up practice.

PBA tournaments including Regionals are 15 minutes of practice.

One of my leagues back in upstate NY used to give us 20 mins of practice

Absolutely not. This is what causes people to loft the gutter cap. The best thing to do is to burn up a line. If you are on a team, have them take their most aggressive ball, put on as much surface as possible with it, and shoot right outside the track area. This is what college bowlers do. It opens up the lanes to the point where later in the day, any given sport shot will be much more scoreable.

@@SirJoelsuf1 the goal of that 1 ball is to find the length of the pattern... its not going to burn up the middle of the lane.

@@TheVlad1616 Oh I thought you meant burning it up during practice. Yeah, exactly one ball thrown there is fine to see where the out of bounds area is on shorter or medium sport shots I guess. It's when floor dumpers take their most aggressive ball, take it down to 180, and rope it up 12 on a 40 foot flat pattern because "they can't find a line" is what gets to me. That kind of thing causes people to loft the gutter cap which is not good. To that point, I'm all for taking your most aggressive ball down to 180...provided you play up the rail with it. That's what I do, turns any sport shot under 42 feet into PBA Cheetah regardless of volume especially if I have a group who can break them down with me.

@@SirJoelsuf1 Right, I remember talking to the Saginaw Valley State University coach, something like 15 yrs ago, and he said they watched where their upcoming opponents were playing, and then, during practice, took their most porous balls and burned up the other team's lines. They already had plans to play totally different angles. Neither team scored super-high, but SV was able to win because of it.

Basically the same thing... www.bowl.com/Source/Source_Home/Reading_The_Lane/

So is break point the point where the ball exits the pattern or actually starts to hook?

@@scooterthewolf3890 Breakpoint is where the ball is furthest away from the pocket before it starts to hook. This is often the end of the pattern

@@scooterthewolf3890 It depends on how you throw it. If you throw it superslow, you will have your breakpoint within the pattern, if you throw it superfast you will maybe ending up having your breakpoint way into the dry area.

you dont always know what pattern your throwing on lol least i dont

My team, too.

Nah famn that's a arizona cardinal logo 🤦‍♂️

Thats not how that works. Thats not how any of this works.

Joshua Blanchard making the ball duller or switch to a dull ball

Less oil for sports shots and a flatter pattern, meaning you don't have the same pool of oil in the middle and dry on the outside like house shots do. This makes it so that any miss left will keep going left and misses right stay right. So you got to be accurate.

Thats assuming you get to speak to the lane tech.

Uhh... Junior Gold lol

He isn't on staff with Motiv anymore.

streamline097 oh ok so hos storm now

He's not on motiv anymore

Shut up boomer

@@chaselmaojk Earl Anthony was one of the first guys to say what I said....Tech KILLED BOWLING! Pro bowlers now bowl for pocket change ! Don Carter (in the early '60's) was the FIRST PROFESSIONAL OF ANY SPORT TO SIGN A $1,000,000 CONTRACT (with the Budweiser NBL team! )The Tournament of Champions used to pay the winner more than golf paid the Masters winner! Now its a ratio of (golf) 20-1 ! When a 700 is routine in a house league....the game is broke! Jason Belmonte could never compete with the likes of Dick Weber, Don Carter, and a hundred others! Bowling is now not much more than a video game (which might be more difficult)!
