Just bowled the first night of a sport league. I have only one other experience with a sport shot and that was a durring an eight game qualifier so I am not sure what I bowled on last night.

I have a general understanding of the 2:1 concept. The center manager assured us that a tape was run on the lanes to verify the pattern. The house holds a regional event every year and the head mechanic is very good. They said they had five patterns currently provided by brunswick but that they will be sticking with one pattern for at least six weeks.

House is all wood, Earl Anthony's Dublin bowl for any west coasters, and when I usually bowl there the heads tend to burn up by the second game. They have ensured that no one will bowl on the lanes prior to our bowling and any make ups or prebowling must be done after that league session.

I went there expecting something mildly challenging what I found seemed like a oiler house shot with screaming back ends. I was using a 3D violet drilled with a long pin and the hot spot about 2 1/2" right of my thumb, very small weight hole. Started by standing at 26 throwing through the 15bd @ the arrows to eight at the break point. Not sure of the distance because my eyes are terrible.

If I had a good release but missed right it would go brooklyn. If I missed left it would hold to some degree. A good straighter player played almost right up 15. The lanes barely brokedown at all but that could be because we only had four bowlers on a pair. There was no real out of bounds. In shadow I even threw a couple up the five board using the same ball with less hand and could still get to the pocket.

In my limited experience with sport condition it did not seem like one. Can anyone tell from my description whether or not what I bowled on was a true example. It is hndcp'd  and they said they are going to do the sport average adjustment but if the shot stays like this my average wont change. It may not have been a wall but it sure did not require laser like execution.
