Preface
First its important to understand the difference between Sport lane conditions and Typical House shot conditions.
Watch this video by Jason Doust to understand the difference.
I'd find it difficult to do a more thorough job than this video.
Strategy for Sport vs. THS
The main differences between THS and Sport are:
- The friction window to hit, where your ball does not skid too far and or hook too soon is much smaller on sport bowling conditions
- Your available friction and non friction areas are much greater on THS, so you can adjust how much skid and hook you have just by moving your feet, this alone allows you to use tune your reaction as the night goes, with very little penalty for moving, if the ball skids when you miss in, you move right into more friction, or adjust your angle to the right for more friction, or both.
- Backends are double stripped on sport bowling conditions, where as on THS, they are likely not, to the difference in reaction between oil and dry is far greater.
As you can see with the diagram to the right, the blue line is a typical speed dominant bowler, purple is a matched bowler, and orange is a rev dominant bowler. On the THS each bowler can exit the pattern at different spots and still get to the pocket, on sport, each bowler should be very close to where the ball exits the pattern in order to score, otherwise, right of that is too much oil to recover, and too far left is too much friction from the double stripped backends.
Sport bowling layouts are different in hook shape, as you see in the diagrams. Sport bowling layouts are more effective on sport bowling conditions because they do not continue hooking very long after they exit the pattern, and they also to not change direction sharply.
Layout Methods
2 trains of thought.
- On shorter patterns use more continuation to control friction. Sometimes you will see those with weaker shelled balls, like urethane on Cheetah, but sometimes wont carry well due to decreased entry angle. On longer patterns use a sharp breakpoint to cover as many boards as quickly as possible.
- On shorter patterns use less continuation, burn tilt and rotation quickly and allow the ball to roll forward
