PBA Oil Patterns: Cheetah
Length: 35'
A cheetah may look harmless, but this speedster has a dangerous side. So does this pattern - with a fast scoring pace and play near the gutter, there's no room for error.
Description:The 2009-10 Cheetah “sprints” back to its roots as the highest scoring of the five named patterns. Originally designed for use on worn lane surfaces, the Cheetah produced the most memorable moments on the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour because of its propensity for rewarding players who “live on the edge”. The new design once again places a premium on the ball traveling towards the gutter in order to maximize the best possible angle to carry all ten pins. The scoring pace on Cheetah is normally high with the champion being required to know that success means striking and not just hitting the pocket. 2009-10 Lumber Liquidators PBA Tournaments Using Cheetah: Cheetah Championship – Allen Park, MI Gemini Championship – Wheat Ridge, CO PBA Marathon Open – Baltimore, MD Recent Tournaments and Champions on this Pattern:PBA Tour2010: Lumber Liquidators Marathon Open (winner: Pete Weber) 2009: GEICO Plastic Ball Championship (winner: Jeff Carter) 2009: National Bowling Stadium Championship (winner: Patrick Allen) 2009: Don and Paula Carter Mixed Doubles Championship (winner: Norm Duke) 2009: Cheetah Championship (winner: Norm Duke) 2009: PBA Tour Trials (winner: Joe Ciccone) 2009: Etonic Marathon Open (winner: Wes Malott) 2008: Cheetah Championship (winner: Parker Bohn III) PBA Women's Series 2008: Cheetah Championship Women's Series (winner: Carolyn Dorin-Ballard) |
