all bowling balls look good on a house shot put a pba shot down then you will see how good a ball reacts i bowl on a summer pba sport shot what a differance in conditions from the house shot
I bowl on plenty of sport shots. Unfortunately, most video reviewers don't include sport shots in their videos for many reasons. Even if they do, they are usually limited to one or two. The only way you are going to get a true feel for a ball on multiple sport shots is to watch bowlers bowl at tournaments. You're not going to get that in a video review.
Personally, I generally score better on PBA patterns than Kegel, WTBA, etc. Not sure why. Maybe because I watch more tournaments on these patterns and have a good idea where to start and how they generally break down.
Even though balls are much closer on a house shot than sport, there are still differences. And since most of us bowl on house shots the majority of the time, it makes sense to see the ball react on the house shot. The only true way to know how a ball will react is to try it yourself.
