The Great Wall of China is not the best pattern for your everyday house league. I hate to tell all you guys but it is not the way it is.

The big top hat oil pattern is not as helpful as many think. The Great Wall helps those that do not want or do not know how to adjust.

Let the truth be told a Christmas tree pattern with decent volume and a good length is the most scoreable pattern available. The multiple angles available to the various styles of bowler will make everybody happy.

The length and volume of the pattern will depend on the lane surface. Wood lanes will require a heavier and longer pattern while something like low friction synthetics will need less volume and length.

On the average 41-42 feet to the end of the oil with a volume of 55-60 units in the center of the heads will normally suit most wood houses.

+1, but the X-mas tree has to be blended well. If the oil is applied in this way but not given a proper buffer, you end up with flat spots in the pattern and a generally squirrelly, frustrating condition.

Agreed kman...proper buff is essential on any shot but more important on a Christmas style pattern.

The best way to get the lanes to hold up and still keep the scores high is to put out a blended pattern, more of a ramp than a top hat. This allows for multiple angles of attack. The only way this type of shot burns up too quickly is if you have everyone playing the exact same line.

A+ This is what I would do also. Head oil all the way across the lane, keeping it fairly tight so you can't just buy too much hook. The straighties and high speed players will be playing 1st arrow, with todays high tech hooking equipment, the tweeners can play 2nd and guys will more revs and slower speed can play 3rd arrow. Never will a righty have to play left of the 4th arrow, or a lefty just the opposite.

The 4th arrow is sacred ground..!!

Seniors won't have to fight to get the ball down the lane, while still being able to use todays high tech equipment. All bowlers will be able to get to the pocket, but the better bowlers will know how to strike, create more area and thus score higher.

Scoring will not be controlled by the lane man, as scores will be high if you execute properly. The par score for being a very good bowler will be 220-225 range, instead of 200.

Straighties and high speed bowlers will not be able to play multiple lines, until they develop their game to allow it. Speed control and better leverage will allow you to move in deeper. Once you've developed this proper bowling technique, you can use weaker balls and move to the right, allowing you to play multiple lines, AND SCORE..!! You play whatever line you feel you can score best with.

You keep this condition 24-7. You can come in anytime of the day and practice your skills, working on your timing, leverage and accuracy.

This is what I would do it to create the most enjoyable and fair bowling environment. Along with a clean and modern center, with kind, friendly service, your bowling experience will always be enjoyable and the center can only be prosperous, imo. =:^D

I'd put something out that would make the lefties quit the game....
