The United States Bowling Congress Specifications and Certifications team is working with Professional Bowlers Association lane maintenance representatives and some of its top players to modify lane oil patterns for the upcoming Denny's PBA Tour season. This week in Milwaukee several top professionals, including Walter Ray Williams Jr., tested the patterns.
Concerned that the five patterns used for its regular events and the Tour Trials played too much alike last season, the PBA and USBC joined forces to begin the process of adjusting the patterns so that the unique characteristics are evident during competition.
