A "Modified house shot" is simply a house shot that has been altered in any number of ways. Could mean longer pattern, shorter pattern, more oil, less oil etc.

Is a modified house shot just a house shot with more oul?

My definition of a Modified House Shot; any shot where the local lane hack thinks because they can push a button and put a pre-programmed pattern down, proceeds to screw with the shot even though they don't know shit about what they are doing.

Your results may vary... 

Anything that isn't 10:1 with adult bumpers is considered modified.

It seems when someone "modifies" a house shot, it is an attempt to lower scores ..... so expect it to be flatter and or shorter/longer.

Where I used to bowl, modified house shot meant "We stripped and reoiled them days ago with the house shot, but we're only doing a 16 ft run of head oil run before leagues. We will strip the lanes again when enough people start complaining."

Is a modified house shot just a house shot with more oul?

After bowling a tournament over the weekend that was described as a modified house shot to me, I believe it's just one with a ratio in the middle of a THS and a sport shot.

It was medium length, with a 4:1 ratio. My scores (180, 182, 185) were right in the middle of my house shot average (205) and my sport shot average (167).

So you can think of it as a difficult house shot, or an easy sport shot. You can't spray the ball all over the lane like on a house shot, but you can miss by a board or two and not be punished as harshly as on sport shots.
