Let's assume (for whatever reason) that you're going to bowl a two day tournament, on two different patterns. What I'd like to know is how would you play each, ie, what would you do differently and how would they break down, differently or the same? Lets say your on pretty new Pro-anvil surface, in decent shape.
First pattern: 35 feet, very short (2') buff, flat.
Second pattern: 27 feet, flat, buffed to 37 feet.
I would assume that the second pattern would break down faster? And I assume that you would start inside on the first pattern? Both of these could well be false assumptions.
