I am going to bowl on a sport league this summer that will use all 5 patterns, I am a stroker w/med revs 16-18mph comfortably plus my main release would be up the back of the ball. I have 2BW but have stayed away from the NM because w/its square weight block I think there would be to much lope in the ball, (have tried Visionary and they all loped) but since I will be bowling in a sport league has anyone used a No Mercy on sport shots and could you tell me how your backend is and your style. Thanks for all help or if you think there is a better ball choice for a sport shot (1st time).

(practice new oil, Shark pattern) Used the NM on the Shark Pattern on tuesday.
Best result- Ran up 2/3 board, standing 12. Ball slid down and then came into pocket very well. 623.
Had a couple others rolling the same line so it made a nice track after a game.
Also tried the NM on the shark running 13 board. Came in but left either light pocket hits or cross over to brooklyn.

Normal House pattern, Normally stand 26 - run 13 -5.
Viper/cheetah pattern practice next tuesday. (league starts 5/7)

Thanks for information. My PBA Experience league is starting in the next couple of weeks. I hope we will all be able to share what lines seem to be working and any other information re: ball, surface, etc.

I think we will be going with 3-4 weeks per pattern and then rotating.

im also planning to try PBA Experience this May. I could hardly wait.

Is there a place or link we can check for the oil lane patterns of the different PBA animals?
chameleon may be the toughest, the oil may be there or Not... :D
