I thought that Easy Street was close to a house shot.

Scorefest. I agree with LGD. But remember, people will balk at tough stuff. This way, they can say they bowled on a "Kegel" pattern and shot the lights out!@

That's a shame.  You'd think the state tourney would be bowled on something like the U.S. Open pattern or something else legitimate instead of something to pull back the bowlers that got their egos bruised.  Sad.

I wish this was the standard house shot!!!

Shot 834 for 4 games in a tournament late last year. Made the semi final rounds, lost in the 1st round of elimination match play 226-219.

If you'd like to try an interesting Kegel pattern, try their Beaten Path on some synthetic lanes. I"m pretty sure it's a sport pattern, with an out-of-bounds from 5 and out, with not a lot (but some) of inside pull room nor swing room, and, from what I see on our lanes with a 5 person league, you need to stay in the track area from the initial medium to medium heavy oil in the first game, thru the nasty transition in the 2nd to the dried out track area in the 3rd.

Most of our higher average bowlers are down 20 pins in average, from the house shot and this is not a PBA sport pattern.

I am not saying it doesn't exist, but I doubt there is a single state/city tournament that is held on a sport shot.  Perhaps one of the USBC white or blue patterns, but not on sport conditions.  If you think it should be on sport conditions, then submit your name to be on the board and get it changed.  I would love to have something more difficult, but my association can't even keep the website updated. 

I guess there's always the exception -
Our NJ State Tournament has been held on the White #2 pattern with 25 ml of oil for the past 3 years. Most times it's in a Brunswick house which makes it harder with its lower friction synthetics.

I bowl in a Seniors/Regular doubles event every year. It's made up of a bowler 50+ and a bowler 49 and under. They use the Kegel patterns exclusively and they usually have a waiting list to get in which is pretty rare to get in on. This year they were thinking about making it a 2 week event because the waiting list was big enough to nearly fill the house again.

Anyway, everyone seems to LOVE the kegel patterns and is why the turn out is so high. 2 years ago they put out the Beaten Path pattern, I struggled the 1st 2 games until I noticed everyone was playing in the track area, moved to where everyone else was playing and shot 480 for the last 2 games of the 4 game set. Last year they put out easy street and yes it plays very close to house china you still don't get recovery if you miss outside and if you miss inside there is a little hold room but not much.

I'm all for the kegel patterns to be your standard house shots!
