    Okay folks, just finished the Viper pattern! I had much more success with this pattern compared to Cheetah. Averaged 176 for 9 games here. Last night shot a 575, not real high, but felt very good with what I was doing. Also used a new ball that I bought. Much more aggresive than my typical house equipment. I was able to play 5 and bring the ball into the pocket nicely. Cant wait till next week to see what they put out. Averaging 174 right now with 3 patterns left. My concentration is rapidly improving and my mechanics are getting better. I am feeling like a will take my game to the next level during fall league. I would recommend the PBA experiance or a Sport shot league  to anyone wanting to improve. Although the are difficult and offer not much margin for error, I am finding it worth my while and I am having a blast! Good Lcuk and Good Bowling!

    Cheetah pattern. Well my summer PBA league started with the Cheetah pattern for the first 3 weeks. I did manage to average 171 for the 9 games we bowled on it. Unfortunately, I dont think the house I bowled oiled the lanes correctly. According to the tips by Mr. Barnes on bowling this pattern, the pros played outside the 5. Everyone in our leauge was playing mainly inside 10. The ball would not come back from the outside. HMMMMMMM.........I did however learn that my equipment is not drilled for those conditions. All my balls area drilled to go long and break late, which that is what they did, but they did not read the dry earlly enough. Definetly need a stronger ball. We will see what interesting challenges are provided next week on a different pattern, cant wait! Have to think about a new ball again, boy my significant other is going to be pissed......  ; )

    Just out checkin on my Bowlspace friends.
    Hope your having a little better luck in your PBA Experience league. As far as the differences in play.... Sometimes the volume of oil will vary... sometimes the condition of the bowling surface makes the shots play different, for example I played outside in the Boise regional 4-8 board, we bowled on the Scorpion pattern which says “This pattern typically has no real defined hook area, so if the surface has a dominant characteristic(usually the track area), we play there. If not, pick the part
    of the lane you are most comfortable
    playing.”
    The second-lowest scoring pattern in 2004-05.
    Anyways that is my thought on the patterns playing differently.

    LoL,,
    Welcome to the PBA Experience patterns.
    I found that surface of the ball had a bigger effect than the actual layouts.
    I hope your signifigant other is a forgivin person 8)
