    Lots of different ones. My league is on a basic house shot during the fall, but during the summer we bowl on Kegel sport patterns, PBA patterns, USBC patterns, and random other patterns we come across. Truthfully, I would rather bowl on sport patterns all the time, because nothing makes a bowler better than giving up the 5 boards of room house patterns allow you to miss by.

    I guess we are lucky, We have certain leagues that are sport, then some are challenge, and some THS depending on the league and center.

    One center puts out a shot that is gutter to gutter and 44ft, No swing area, and nothing will hook unless you really slow the ball down. You are forced to make good shots!!
    If you give the pocket away the ball will not recover!!

    Another center puts out PBAX, Sport, Challenge, and USBC.

    Then there's those centers that only oil the lanes maybe twice a week!!
    I try to stay away from those, as they cater to Birthday parties more than anything else!

    The senior leagues get the long flat patterns!!

    The youth league gets the Mic 50 plastic ball test Pattern!!

    So we do have variety!!

    I guess that would play like the "Dead Man's Curve" Pattern? ...As it is the longest pattern in that series.

    Or does it play more like the "Winding Road" as that Describes the shape of the Amazon?
