pheonix 8 pad tweak

alright we have some bowlers that think our shot is to easy and was needing input on tweaking the pattern to get a little more difficult shot.

WOW if i read that pattern right my hpls would be flyin.Looks like a hookin pattern to me.

Not that it matters much but you are a 4 speed machine if this is indeed your pattern. It must really hook alot? I've tried many different patterns over the years but these two have been the best out of them all. These both came from "The King" a while back. Your surface might dictate changes in them.

This was a pattern I got from "The King" a few years ago and have used it in a few different centers on various surfaces. I've used it mostly on HPL and Wood with good results.

Here is the same general pattern for my typical house bowling leagues. A little less oil than the pattern above. I'm sure there are many other patterns and suggestions you maybe able to go with. See what everyone else thinks on here before you make a drastic switch of condition.
