We received many responses, both positive and negative. One email stood apart from the oth- ers; the subject too poignant to let it slip away as though unnoticed. It discussed a rarely perceived relationship: How the evolution of bowling reflects the changes of society. Though the author has chosen to remain anonymous, his insights desperately need to be shared. Specifically, he agreed with the reasoning behind Carol’s hatred of electronic scoring as expressed in “The Perfect Game” (April 23, 2015 edition of CBN).

  • To View This Message in a Browser Window. One of the Most Common
    Click here to view this message in a browser window. One of the most common questions we’re asked is why do the PBA oil patterns we use in the Sport league in our center sometimes play different during than they do on TV? Well, there are several factors that influence your overall ball reaction besides just the oil pattern and those factors change from center to center, and even from day to day in the same center. The type of lane surface (wood or synthetic, and what type of synthetic) and the age of lane surface will play a huge role in ball reaction. Also, when bowling on patterns such as Cheetah or Viper, where you tend to play close to the channel, how the lanes were installed also will play a role in how much the ball will hook from the outside part of the lane. Add in changes is temperature and humidity in the bowling center, and the different types of lane oil and cleaner used around the country, and you can see a lot of variation in ball reaction. One other thing is the person you are bowling with and how they are playing the lanes. On the PBA Tour, the rev rates are significantly higher than what you’ll see in your Sport league. This usually means that on tour the lanes will break down more, and hook more than what you’ll see in three games of league. Plus, there are more bowlers playing in a similar part of the lane, which helps break down the pattern into a more favorable scoring environment by creating a defined hook spot.
