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.

Absolutely need to know the volume of oil applied. It is half the battle to understand what you are playing on.

Then you need to have something to compare it to that you are familiar with.

If they both had the same volume applied, I'd expect the first pattern to be more of a carrydown/line shifting problem as the bowling progresses.  Also I'd expect the second pattern to be a little bit more of an arc style shot.  But what do I know?  It's just a guess based on what I've seen.

Let's assume (lacking any real info) a mediumish volume.
