Vernon Hills Pro-Am question
« on: November 02, 2006, 12:00:29 PM »
I am going to my first pro-am in Vernon Hills. Does anybody know whether the shot will be the pba shot (Scorpion I think that week) or a house shot?

SGC300 - another reason that people destroy the pro-ams is that they are usually 9-pin no tap.

Never bowled a PRO-AM that was a NO-TAP. Is that something new that they are doing. Last one that I bowled in was about 4 years ago.

Well the price of the balls has gone up since then, but understandable since ball prices have gone up in general. But I hope that you have fun...

BOWLING IS FUN NO MATTER WHAT YOU SCORE. BUT A 300 IS ALWAYS NICE.

STRIKE ZONE & PYRO. STAND 15 AND THROW 10 OUT TO 5 AND SMASH THE POCKET. AT LEAST THAT IS THE PLAN OF THE NIGHT...

Most Pro-ams that ive seen have all been 9 pin no tap events. Unlike the USBC Masters which is regular format.

If you bowled on the same shot as the pros and it was 3 regular games, I think they would be more popular.  Sadly, many are house shots and either no-tap or 3-6-9 (automatically get strikes in those frames each game).
