Where are the they? Taylor and Thunderbowl in Detroit area are regular lanes.
My son has been watching a bunch of matches on youtube of the pro's. I notice some of the championship pairs look like they are stand alone lanes all by themselves. Is that the case or are they just covered up by bleachers, advertisements and camera gear?

Arsenal consists of mainly 15# Motiv balls, I have several now and they are the bomb! Too many to list and carry. Still have a couple Hammer balls and my AMF RPM Swirl (old reliable) & 25+yr old Linds worth a mention
Currently 535+ Rev Rate @ 19 MPH (This probably needs to be updated, I think I've toned each down a click or two these days. I'm letting the ball do more of the work as I get older.)

I didn't take note of the centers they were at unfortunately, these are older matches like 2011 and up. I've seen more than one that all you can see is a single pair of lanes and they seem isolated. I know that's one of the things we are considering doing in Florida. That hasn't been decided yet, nor have we determined if it will be a single pair or multiple. I know at the original Peterson Classic in Chicago they had a few pairs isolated away from the others in another room, I can't remember if it was 4, 6 or 8 lanes. I was just curious if that's common place now with the pro matches. I haven't watched them on TV in years.

I have noticed the same thing a few times. We have a kid in our league that bowled in a tournament and ended up beating Pete Weber for the championship. He said you had to give courtesy to 2 lanes on each side. He said he hated it and wouldn't enter one again. With all that he said he only won $500...lol. It was some sort of tournament where Shayne won the amateur side and Weber won the pro side so they went head to head

Does anyone remember the Women bowling out side in Reno? They had a sandstorm and the lanes were covered in sand. It was a real joke. At least I think it was women.

I don't think I would enjoy bowling outside. Unless the weather was perfect and the sun was behind me. Then again, I'd be the guy to have a bird poop on me during a crucial point in the match as I throw.

A few other times that come to mind are the finals of the villages senior tour events and the pba summer series team shootouts.
