USBC lane conditions
« on: June 04, 2008, 09:15:54 AM »
If you had 3-5 months to bowl on the USBC lane conditions in your home bowling center.  How well do you think you would do when you went to bowl in Albuquerque?

Is posting the conditions an unfair advantage?  There are bowlers with access to practice on these conditions before they bowl in the Tournament?

It would help some - give you a general idea of how to attack the lanes, but that's about it.  Read the posts about the PBA experience leagues.  Every type and age of lane, lane oil, lane machine and other factors can make the pattern act different than you might think.  It's always good to practice on any flatter pattern, especially of a similar volume and length to what you might face to get you used to not having the THS mistake room.

Well said. It would give you an idea of how to play, but dont expect the pattern your local center plays to be like what youll see in ALBQ.

you could put out the same pattern with the same machine at 3 different houses and  have 3 different shots its all about lane topography.

We bowled on the shot in our sport shot league the week before we went to Nationals and the pattern was much tighter at Nationals. Like was said it may give you a general idea but thats about it.
