Talk Bowling – Episode #0023

Continuing the PBA named patterns, today we discuss the Scorpion PBA Oil Pattern. A scorpion is dangerous and unpredictable, like this pattern. If you can’t find the right groove on the lanes, you’ll be stung!

The Scorpion measures 42 feet, and similar to the Viper, can yield a wide variety of strategies depending on the type and condition of the lane surface. However, Scorpion incorporates a larger volume of oil placed further down lane which often demands a more direct line. The scoring pace is normally high for this pattern.

Talk Bowling – Episode #0022

We continue our quest for knowledge about the PBA Named Oil Patterns. This week is the shortest of them, the Cheetah.

Cheetah measures 36 feet in length and is the shortest of the five patterns. Sometimes used on lane surfaces that are well worn, it tries to maximize the area on the lane with less wear, which is usually extremely close to the gutter. Because of this, players tend to migrate toward those spots to take advantage of the more pristine surface areas. The cheetah is exciting for its ability to allow players to make “risk-reward” decisions based on playing near the gutter. The scoring pace is normally medium for this pattern.
