But these patterns aren\u2019t just for protection \u2014 the way in which oil is applied to the lane can affect the speed and direction of your ball.<\/p>\n<p>These patterns are so important that recreational bowlers and professional bowlers bowl on vastly different patterns \u2014 the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) even classifies the patterns it uses in tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>Phil Edwards met with professional bowler Parker Bohn III at his childhood bowling alley, Howell Lanes in Howell, New Jersey. He guided Phli through the complex strategy a pro bowler uses when encountering different oil patterns. Not only do they have to assess which pattern is in use, but they also have to judge how that pattern changes as the oil shifts and slides over the day. Knowing how to play a specific lane can be the difference between a title and second place.<\/p>\n<p>But these patterns aren\u2019t just for the pros \u2014\u00a0they\u2019re relevant to recreational bowlers as well.
