Is anything that won't hook 15+ boards a pro shot?

I've shot my highest PBA game on pattern B (Shark Pattern) - a 276.

Sounds like pattern B-3. 50 microliters of oil for 42'. Anything outside of 15 at the midlane pretty much stays there. You have to play in breakpoint zone 3 and stay fairly deep in the lane. Even us lefties have to play 4th-5th arrow to get to the hole.

I've seen this pattern play pretty dry... And some of the shorter patterns play pretty wet. a lot depends on the condition of the lane and the machine, plus a lot of league bowlers are used to what I like to call "bounce" where when it gets outside 7 or 8, it bounces back. They can often mistake a light shot for a heavy one.

No, the PBA Director didn't give us any "bounce" on Pattern B.

When the PBA put it down in the last 4 tournaments in which I encountered it, I didn't have the good fortune of any "bounce". Wide shots gave one the pleasure of shooting at either a washout or 3-6-10 splits. Every now and again you could add a 9 pin to that split arrangement.

Yeah, there usually isn't much. You usually have to play straight. I did play on older wood lanes that were in dire need of a resurface, and the shot played pretty dry.
In terms of bounce off the dry, I was talking about how league bowlers are used to it on a ths, and when there isn't any, they think its heavy oil with screaming backends, even though it is really more of a medium shot.

Apologies. I said Pattern B was 42'. It's actually 43'. I must have had my Sport League oil on my mind.

Dry Lane ball-don't need one. If you can't throw a polished ball straight up second arrow and kick out the 10 pin, you're nothing more than a house bowler. Adjust your shot, don't complain to the owner and buy a $100 spare ball that you use six times in four years.
