Series patterns will be USBC Sport Bowling compliant, which adhere to a ratio of 3.0:1 or

80
This oil pattern is a long standing stone wall that has evolved
over many years in the game of bowling. From simple grooves
in the lane in the 30's, to the short oil walls of the 80's, and now
the typical long oil house shot, this recreation oil pattern has
stood the test of time.
John Davis, the Founder of Kegel, was from Missouri and used
to have a saying; "they always like 'em easy in St. Louis." The
Gateway Arch pattern is a tribute to that saying and yes, the
composite shape is one large arch...from 9R-9L!
One of the most popular landmarks in the UK is the Elizabeth
Tower, which houses Big Ben, the largest bell of the clock in the
tower. At 44' in length, this Recreation pattern will also be very
popular as it will provide a lane condition conducive to many
styles of play. So when bowling on this oil pattern, get your own
Big Ben and ring the bell with every high score!
Long associated with a blocked lane condition, the Great Wall
of China pattern is the wall of all walls. At 48' in length, the best
way to attack this pattern is up against the wall of oil instead of
jumping to the drier part of the lane. Once lined up properly on
the Great Wall of China, it will be almost impossible to cross
