US Open Patteren
« on: November 25, 2008, 12:06:54 AM »
Does anyone have the pattern for the US Open.  Want to put it out using an HVO Summit.  Thanks!

See here.  Same amount of oil every board.  According to the link, you oil roughly to 22-23', then buff to 40'.  How much oil is up to the house.

what does it mean to be buffed to 40?
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

I can see that by the graphic thank you.  But I was looking more for actual units used and exact distances.

The lane machines have a buff pad or brush depending on the machine.  If you look at any of the PBA patterns, where the oild is light blue and "smudged" is where its buffed.

StormKid it's not a very high volume pattern overall.  It is 40 feet flat with a lot of buff.  I don't think you need exact unit measurements to play on it and get an idea of how tough it is.

The lane surface in your center will make it play different as it is....don't nitpick over tiny details.  Plug in something close and go enjoy it.
