Anyone here bowl on a House pattern less then 42'?

[J Anderson]

We have 46' 8 to 8 just not enough of it.

Not enough of what?? It can only refer to some thing earlier in the sentence. Yo really need a pattern longer than 46" or wider than eighth board to eighth board?

And the question was do you bowl on a pattern LESS than 42'

Don't mean to be this grouchy but it is Monday.

I bowl on a THS league that has a 42' long pattern. The house before this one which was Brunswick was 42'. When we bowled at AMF lanes it was like 38'. Plus AMF lanes had less oil on boards 1 to 10. I remember that I could use my Hammer Blue urethane ball and I could make it hook like a resin ball. Not so on the Brunswick or Lisle Lanes house patterns. Does anyone here bowl in a THS house pattern that is less then 42'? And is it easy to hook your ball where you bowl?

Our THS is always 40'. I think the actual pattern changes depending on day of the week, but they keep the length the same. Mondays I think they lay down the Kegel "Wall Street" pattern- if you get it out, it comes back.

The pattern here is basically 41', (I've walked down the lanes and looked. The buff ends between 40'-41'.) It's not a large volume of oil either.

I wish we had 40', or even 38'. The AMF house I bowl in for leauges not only has a short pattern of 36', the surface is high friction - SPL lanes.

Thankfully the new lane guy or manager added a little more volume to make it last last longer.

I play the track with the blue hammer 75% of the time. I also use a Storm breeze which allows me to play the track or just inside the track. I wish I could play outside like the higher speed, lower rev players, but I'm pushed left. Even with a plastic ball with a big core, I some times struggle keeping the ball right.

OK "NO"
Not enough conditioner.

I know I'd want a pattern longer than 46 inches! and that would be less than 42'

I knew I needed a proof reader!

[fordman1]

Duh! I finally saw it. It is on the same key though!

[bowl1820]

We are on a 39" pattern. Remember that AMF tend to lanes have more friction than Brunswick Pro-Anvilane

39 inches! Boy these short patterns are spreading.

Reply to bowl1820 about 39" pattern.

You would definitely need a ball with a 10,000 grit surface but also play inside. I think he meant 468" which would be 39' so he was a little off in the length.
