Interesting how PBA patterns.......
« on: May 10, 2013, 02:44:04 PM »
can play SO differently every time you see them.

Our team started our PBA league last night on Cheetah and it played WAAAAAAY tighter than I've ever seen it.  I must say, I had a good look.  Playing about 9 at the arrows to about 5 at the breakpoint but I had to be really careful with the speed as it was easy to blow it right thru the spot.  Lots of free push on good shots....

I've probably been on Cheetah upwards of 10-12 times and, for some reason, it played like Viper.  I have noticed over all of these sets that there is "bump outside Cheetah" and "out of bounds Cheetah", last night definitley had an out of bounds at the 4 board but REALLY heavy up front, as is customary on this condition but I've never seen it like that. 

Staying open minded was key but I just found it of particular intrigue how this specific shot played on this specific night.  Plenty of good bowlers in the league noted how it was tighter than they'd ever seen it.

Man, I love sport bowling.   :)

Pattern names mean ABSOLUTELY nothing and bowlers should show up, throw their bowling balls and react to their ball reaction...i.e. quit worrying about the name and worry abt moving your feet.

Rico, THB's are worried about the bloody nose they might get if they move their feet left of 25.
