PBA Shark

PBA Shark PatternThe PBA Shark pattern is the longest of the five PBA patterns at 43 feet.  Because of this length and the added volume of oil to the outside parts of the lane, bowlers have to play very deep on this pattern.  Here is the description given by the PBA:  The 2009-10 Shark demonstrates the largest change from any of the patterns from last year. Returning to the Shark this season is the key characteristic of the “deep inside line” providing a decisive strategic advantage. The “out of bounds” on the outside portion of the lane has been increased, making errant shots wide of the target in danger of once again falling into the “moat”. With less oil being placed in the middle of lane on this season’s Shark, bowlers will see their ball roll earlier on the lane compared to years past. Bowlers who play the wrong angle on the Shark will feel as if the pattern is a “reverse block”. The scoring pace for this pattern will be medium with the champion having the ability to get the corner pins out while playing a tough angle.
