I have heard the name thrown around some on this forum. I am sure its a harder oil pattern than a house oil pattern.

There is a league forming at the house I bowl at but its, $25 a week. A little steep in price for me.

How much more difficult is a sport pattern? I want to get an idea of what its like and possibly practice after the sport shot leagues gets finished. Will that give me some idea of what its like to bowl on that pattern, or will they be to dried up to really experience it?

thank you

There are quite a few patterns that qualify as Sport. Some break down to close to a house shot fairly quickly, others do not. The league I am in puts out a different pattern every 8 weeks, 4 patterns over the season.

Most beginners in a sport shot league can expect a 15-20 pin drop off their THS average. As frustrating as the sport shot can be, I love the challenge and it is so sweet to shoot your 1st 200. We have a few of theguys who have been around the league a few years averaging in the 190-200 range.

As far as practicing after the league is over would give you some idea, but the patterns break down. Depending on the initial pattern you may get a false sense of the challenge. After 4 games in the league, I generally am ready to leave and glad to have a week to recover
