That was the same 50 ft TOC pattern from last year? Last year they where using low grit strong balls that even with Tommy Jones revs barely hooked even in the last match when there was breakdown. This year they start off using shiny balls and hooking it. Last year they were close to the pocket couldn't get out to far from the pocket, this year they have plenty of room. I liked the way it played last year better. This show was good to but last year it showed their accuracy well because you had no room for error last year. What do you guys think?

If you knew better you do better.

Different lane surface (well-used bowling alley synthetics versus barely used arena lanes), different types of synthetics, different oils, different part of the country.  The ToC pattern is already pretty thin, they've said that repeatedly over the last few years.  Should it play exactly the same way as in the past?
