Suggestion: Have a section on all the different patterns and how to play them,and what equipment,drillings and surfaces are needed.

Re: Section on lane play
I think the possible combinations are endless, and dependent on the lane surfaces, lane machine, oil, and the bowler.coolerman wrote:Suggestion: Have a section on all the different patterns and how to play them,and what equipment,drillings and surfaces are needed.
I recommend contributing situational information to the wiki's pattern library for this.

What you are describing seems like more of a factual base than a discussion base.
Other members are welcomed to chime in on this.
After I retire the Benefit Program forum, I may consider an "Environment" forum, this seems like it would fit.
Lets see how the community responds to the idea.

Re: Section on lane play
the subtract 31 method seems to be a good starting point for lane play.... just a thought

Re: Section on lane play
I think I agree with you. Lane play has too many variables to have a lively discussion. Sure we could limit it to "Freshly oiled patterns at the NBS" but that wouldn't lead to consistent discussions.MegaMav wrote: I think the possible combinations are endless, and dependent on the lane surfaces, lane machine, oil, and the bowler.

Humidity, time of day, lane maintenance schedule, how your favorite baseball team played the night before, all comes in to play when talking about how to play on a particular condition.
Just look at the requirements of what is needed to just simply layout a ball-drill design.
