I have a confession
« on: May 21, 2016, 02:13:50 PM »
I bowled on a house shot in one league this season and enjoyed it.  I have had more opportunity than many to play on sport patterns than many of you over the last few years and consider it a great challenge.  Coming back and competing on a house shot I realized that it presents just as much challenge as a sport pattern.  You need  power and accuracy both, and you need to respect the house shot the same way you do a flatter pattern

I enjoy both. I throughly enjoy practicing on sport,tobeable to blow the doors off of a THS. However in my area, all THS have seemed to get harder, one center put out a nifty out of bounds. One doesn't oil the middles as much, one has a terrible lane surface, etc.

The trick is respecting the condition no matter what it is.  For the first 7 or 8 weeks I pounds the pocket and carried bad without really trying to make adjustments like I would on a sport shot.  My average hovered around 210 while some pretty poor players in my opinion were closer to 230.  The last 24 weeks I made some equipment changes and some adjustments on the lane and ended the season in the 220's

My local house shot is almost a reverse block I guess...bone dry down the middle and flooded outside...it's frustrating at times and almost as hard a pattern as I've ever played...you have zero miss room inside or outside

My house changes the shot every month, so you are not always bowling on the same thing. Everyone seems to like it and there are a couple of months that the shot is really close to a flat sport shot. The scores are low 3 of the 4 weeks and averages dip during those months.
