Pattern Question

Post by pjape »

I thought I'd ask here first before actually practicing on it. Tonight we bowled the Kegel Route 66 pattern. I didn't do too bad overall (623) despite a lousy game two (bad shot-making).

My question is, next time we bowl, we'll be on the Statue of Liberty pattern. Can someone who's bowled on both give me some feedback on the differences between the two? I know the Statue of Liberty is two feet longer. Since there's more volume, does it hold up longer? Right now I'm thinking that I'll just need to tighten up the line I played tonight and have my break-point a bit further left. I used a used 500 Abralon on my Hyper-Cell (yea, I have ancient equipment!), and my ball reaction was very good. Do you think that will be sufficient, or should I go down to 360?

Thanks!
