2013 USBC Open oil pattern for doubles and team

[edpup316]

Does anybody know where I can take a look at the stats on these patterns (length, volume, ratio ect...) you know, like kegel has in their pattern library. I looked on there website and tried to search for it but no dice. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can go on the bowl.com website.
Under the open championships page there is a lane conditions page.
They have the graphs and everything there.
Also, search for it on youtube and they explain them pretty well.

I tried looking for a video on youtube but could only find stuff from like 2010 USBC Open. Who posted the vidoes you saw?

BowlTV has a youtube channel.
You can watch some of the big names bowl there events at the open.
If you want to see them explain the patterns just search 2013 USBC Open championships kickoff show.
They explain both patterns.
Good Luck

If you are going to Reno to bowl, keep your break point around the 7 board. Also in practice and earlier in the sets, try to have as many people play on the right side of the lane as possible, this helps to create a nice bumper outside and limit the break down in the middle.

Also, the lanes at the National Bowling Stadium with the Ice lane conditioner hooked more than any other lanes I bowled on that tried to lay down the same pattern, even the showcase lanes that we practiced on in the stadium the day before.

Ya the backends def hook more then I expected when I bowled in the Storm Mixed last October. I had to kick my ball speed up to 2 mph to 20 to hold the line.

This is great! I heard that the shot was some where around 11 at the arrows so the 7 board sounds about right for break point.
This might be a good thing or a bad thing, but the team I'm bowling with has 3 lefties and when we bowl doubles/singles there will be 4 lefties so no burning out a bump spot for me... well not quickly anyways but on the bright side the middle of the lane will be practically untouched when I have to move in during doubles/singles
