With all the excitement around the U.S. Open, we thought it was a good time to share this video created by the talented Jason Doust. Enjoy his thorough comparison of a US Open pattern to a House pattern.

Good stuff!
Having lower speed (12-15mph) and being somewhat rev-dominant, I tend to struggle on house patterns. I’ve actually been doing better lately on Kegel sport patterns. So far I’ve done my best on Dead Man’s Curve, but with only one other player shooting just outside my line. I’m always backwards!
Brilliant lots of info !! and nicely said > ”smarter bowlers become better bowlers”
)
In my 40+ years in the bowling industry, this is probably the best explanations and demonstrations of lane conditioning patterns that I have seen or heard.
This video should be required viewing in every bowling center for every person that bowls!
Great job Jason! Kudos!
Thanks Jason, great effort once again.
