World Bowling Oil Patterns

Is there a new library of oil patterns particularly World Bowling? To cite some examples

Bank 1 Stockholm 36
Bank 2 Rome 41
Bank 3 Mexico 43

Any references will surely be appreciated.

Re: Question on Ball Alteration (Surface adjustment) WTBA Ru

Yes. Games and Rounds are usually two different things, A round would typically consist of X number of games. So those two rules address the periods before and between rounds and the periods between games during the rounds. Thanks Bowl1820. I have emailed the same to the WTB office. By the way, jus...

So both should be applied not only one in the absence of a stipulated rule, as besides 4.10.1 would mean it goes hand in hand with 4.10.2 not one over the other.

Use of chemicals see 2.10.1. 4.10.2 Altering the surface...

Seriously, run? Then how should be the cadence as compared to slow slow quick quick slide?

Re: Balance arm / torso

Thanks 2y2 or your informative reply. I get the boi-mechanics of bowling, no problem there. Watching the ETBF video, they compared javelin throwing to bowling, the balance arm going forward, the torso twisting then the throwing arm coming forward, the torso generating power. Does power equal speed?...

Re: bowling and sanding your ball.....

How about in between games? Like a 6-game block? I thought you are allowed to sand the ball after the game until the next game of the block begins.

Re: YOUTUBE - Bowling Technique Guidelines ...

The video is a good reference for bowlers and coaches alike. I would like to comment that if you have bought the DVD of the System by Mark Baker, pretty much what has been discussed (position at the back and at the side) in this video of course with less explanation than Mark's.

Re: Determining Drill Angle for Sport pattern

It means exactly what I said. Low drill angle to read friction as early as possible. High drill angle on longer patterns is the exact opposite of what you'd want. I think I get the idea. My question is how low or what guidelines do we observe in terms of the ratio of DA vs. VAL based on the bowler'...

Re: Determining Drill Angle for Sport pattern

I wrote that article in the wiki. Based on the strategy in the article, the drill angle will remain low to read friction at the earliest point possible. For higher tilt and rotation guys, or speed dominant bowlers, adjust even lower, you can go all the way down to 10 degrees. When you say "wil...

Re: USBC revokes certification approval of two Motiv balls

Does it really matter if there was an irregularity that was removed by the bit? Practically, no. It was removed, it doesn't matter. But actually? The USBC spells out the limits for undrilled balls, it's there for anyone to read and understand. This isn't 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules. Moti...

Determining Drill Angle for Sport pattern

Quoted from Wiki of Sport Pattern layout: "Sport bowling layouts control the back part of the lane and read where the end of the pattern is, and where the friction spots are within the pattern. How do we do this? We burn tilt and rotation faster, reduce the drill angle to read the pattern early...
