Length of oil
« on: October 06, 2009, 03:25:27 AM »

What would be the normal length of the oil for a typical "house shot"?  At out house it's 42 feet which the manager says is typical.  To me it seems a little long.

Thanks for the help.

Look.  You can argue with me until you''re blue in the face.  You are still wrong.  OP said manager told him pattern distance is 42 feet.  I have explained what that meant and that it is normal.

And had you given a simple explanation instead of figjamming your "expertease" then maybe this would have ended but for someone to go about making claims of greatness brings additional and unwanted attention, stfu and you would learn you are arguing symantics with people and debating terminology.

PBA 42'''' Pattern = Oil stops at 42 feet, and drops off dramatically (FLAT FLAT FLAT), volume of oil is slightly buffed/blended slightly lighter outside and longer, but very flat.  There is an "out of bounds".  Demands a great and accurate shot be made.

THS 42'''' Pattern = Buffed to 42 feet.  The ball will still have heavy head oil, except lighter and less equally laterally across the lane (this does not mean the middle of the heads wont be heavily oiled).  The heads are ran thicker to help the ball lane (probably 36-37 feet), buffed to 42 (allowing the ball to read) and a crisp backend to guide the ball, and if you miss outside there will be dryer boards earlier to help the ball easily recover.  Gives miss room and doesn''''t demand great perfection.

Don''''t get hung up on this buffout distance(the distance the machine buffs after the oil head stops applying oil to the transfer brush).  On machines with a transfer brush, there is very little taper downlane from just the forward pass.  I have seen tapes where there is nearly equal volume in the heads as two feet before the buff line.  The distance that the machine is just buffing, whether it is 15 feet or 2 feet is almost irrelevant.  The reverse pass is what provides the downlane taper that makes the difference in the heads of a THS compared to a sport shot.  Sport shots usually don''t put much down on the reverse.

You are correct about the lateral placement of oil providing the area/out-of-bounds.
