For those of you in Florida that plan on going to bowl the State Tournament in Lakeland be prepared for some changes. Kegel is controlling the lane pattern and it is not a typical house pattern. It is a 43 foot pattern from the info I received this past weekend, and it plays a little tough. I started out in doubles around 7-8 throwing a Roto Grip Riot at 1000 grit. This quickly started to go away and by the 3rd game of doubles I was left of 15 throwing a Dark Star drilled 75x4x35. Singles I had absolutely nothing, so I am just going to not even go into that. The next day at team the pattern was pretty close but I did have more room right, and the pattern did not change as fast, probably due to the different lane types. I was able to start around 12 with my exit point being about 7 and never really moved till game 3. I managed to shoot around 690 in team, but should have been much higher, I just wasn’t executing good shots. I am thrilled to see this change in the types of patterns they are using, this will help people that just bowl leagues understand how different situations are when you flatten a pattern out.
