Attacking the PBA experience oil pattern with Chris Barnes
Chris Barnes PBA油型的經驗談

Derek Eoff: How does the Viper pattern typically play?
Derek Eoff: Viper的油型要怎麼打?

Chris Barnes: The Viper patatern typically plays to the
outside of the lane, but the lane surface will dictate
how much hook there will be.

CB: Viper的油型一般都打球道外側，但球道表面的材質會左右球的彎度。


DE: From where do you normally like to start attacking this pattern?

DE: 在正常情形下，這種油型你一開始會走那條路線?

CB:
I start at the farthest point right that gives me the most
consistent hook spot on the lane, generally close to the first
arrow. If boards 1 and 3 don’t hook as much as I’d like, I
make a slight move left and have my breakpoint be between boards
4 and 6. The more axis tilt you create, the more you will have
to move inside.

CB:
我都先從球道最右邊開始下球，在這個區域我的球會彎得最穏定
，通常都在一箭附近。如果1塊板和3塊板彎得不夠，和我原先設定的
不一樣，我會稍往左移而將轉折設在4-6塊板之間，你的軸傾角愈大，
球線就得愈往內移。

DE: What kinds of bowling balls work best on this pattern?

DE: 這種油型用什麼球最好?


CB:
I prefer to use bowling balls that flare less for
this pattern. Generally, I use a strong ball with a weak
layout and increase my ball speed. I don’t like going
left to right on this pattern. Instead, I like to create
push through the heads and use a ball with a smooth surface
so it doesn’t react too strongly at the breakpoint.

CB:
打這種油型，我偏好油線展開較小的球，通常我會以強的球皮、
弱的開法以及較快的球速來因應，這種油型我不喜歡由左往右打，反
而會用滑面的球推過前段油區，使它在轉折時不致反應得太過強烈。


DE: What tips for playing the Viper pattern can you give BTM readers?

DE: 對付這種Viper的油型，可有什麼小袐訣可以提供給BTM的讀者?


CB:
Play to the outside of the lane and don’t start too far
inside with your feet. I’d suggest starting between the 5
and 10 boards early on, then migrate inside as carry down
occurs. This pattern should get easier as the day goes on.

CB:
打球道的外側，別站得太裡面。我的建議是剛開始時下在5~10塊板
間， Carry down時再往內移，這種油圖打幾局後會變得比較容易。

DE: How does the Shark pattern typically play?

DE: Shark的油型要怎麼打?

http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=rmp4vu03&b=6&f=1718401702&p=7

CB:
Because of the 43-foot oil length, the Shark pattern
plays deep inside. Remember that on a long oil pattern
such as the Shark, you want your breakpoint closer to the
pocket. Normally you can start in the track area, but
sometimes you will need to start inside of 20. Some people
can go straight up 7 or 8 board (i.e. Columbia 300 Classic
champion Norm Duke in December 2006). That is rare and you
have to be very good at throwing the ball straight.

CB:
油長43呎的Shark最好打大inside。因應Shark那麼長的油尺，
要把轉折靠近13口袋區。通常一開始你可以打在二箭附近，但是有
時你就得下到20塊板以內。有人可以打7或8塊板直送(如2006年12月
的Columbia 300 Classic 冠軍Norm Duke)，但這並不常見，而且你
要能把球打得很直才行。


DE: What’s the ideal starting point for attacking the Shark pattern?

DE: Shark油型一開始理想的攻擊點在哪?


CB:
Normally you could expect to start between the third
and fourth arrows with a breakpoint of 12 or 13 and move
inside as the day goes on. The back of the lane won’t
open up as much, so you’ll need to open up the front and
middle parts of the lane.

CB:
一開球你可以下3~4箭，使球在12或13塊板轉折，俟狀況有變再
往內移。球若滑得太深，在後段會彎不回來，因此你得在前段或中段
就讓球作動。


DE: How does the Shark pattern typically break down?

DE: Shark 油型break down時，你通常都怎麼打?


CB:
This pattern is pretty slick, so it may take a
few games for it to break down. Keep moving inside
as the Shark breaks down.

CB:
這種長油型要打很多局後才會發生油路的紊亂(break down)
，break down發生時，可繼續將路線往內移。


DE:
What kind of bowling balls do you like to use on this pattern?
DE: 這種油型你喜歡用哪種球?


CB:
You’re asking the wrong guy. I still haven’t figure
that out. I tend to use high flare, high response (aggressive)
balls that push through the heads and make a good move down
lane. The flare helps the ball read the lane and the high
response works well because there is a short distance for
the ball to hook and get through the pin, due to the pattern
length.

CB:
這你可問錯人了！我也還在找答案。我是傾向以大的油線展開
、強力咬板的球通過球道前段，使球有適當的反應。因為油很長，
大的油線開展使球能咬住球道，反應大的球可以在短距離內彎回來
擊瓶。


DE: What are your tips for playing the Shark pattern?

DE 打Shark油型時，你的袐訣是什麼?


CB:

The key is to be soft with your ball speed to give the
ball time to roll, but be careful not to get the ball rolling
too early because it can run out of energy too soon. Use more
axis rotation and keep the ball on line through the front
without using too much ball speed. Bowlers with slower ball
speed and medium rev rates have the most success on the Shark.
This is a low scoring pattern; making spares is important
because strikes can be few and far between.

CB:
關鍵是放慢球速，讓球有時間roll起來，但也不可讓它roll得太
早，以免能量耗盡。球速別太快，加大側旋使球通過前段油區。球速
慢、轉速中等的球員打Shark 上可以發揮得很好，這種油型的分數很
低，spare很重要，因為strike會有一塔沒一塔的。



-------------------------------------------------------------

DE: How does the Scorpion pattern typically play?

DE: Scorpion的油型要怎麼打?

http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=rmp4vu03&b=6&f=1718401703&p=8

CB:
The breakpoint normally is around boards 8 or 9 on
this pattern, but the lane surface type and condition
could make it play around the 5 board. This pattern
usually plays more direct and farther right than the
Shark. When the breakpoint is at 9 or 10 on Scorpion
compared with 12-13 on Shark, it can have a huge impact
on the scoring pace on Tour. This pattern allows several
different angles of attack. On some surfaces you can bump
the ball off the 5 or 6 board, while other surfaces make
you play inside of the track area with a breakpoint
further inside. Typically the lower rev player start
around board 7 or 8 with the “tweeners” at 12-13 and
the power players around 17 to 20.

CB:

這種油型的轉折約在8~9塊板間，但有時依球道表面材質和
狀況要設在5塊板附近。此油型通常要比Shark打直些，且路線需
大幅度外移。相較於Shark的12~13塊板，當Scorpion的轉折在9~10
塊板，對巡迴賽的分數會有巨大的提升。這種油型可以有幾種不一
樣的進攻角度。在某些球道，可以在5或6塊板轉折，有些球道則要
打二箭裡面，轉折也要大大地往內移。通常轉速較慢的球員一開始
是打7或8塊板、中轉速的“tweeners”打12~13、強力型球員則在
17~20塊板附近。


DE: How does this pattern break down?

DE:這種油型在break down時要怎麼打?


CB:
You can migrate inside, because bowlers start further
outside. This pattern can create a higher scoring environment
if broken down properly on a good lane surface.

CB:
因為原來站得蠻外面的，所以可以往inside內移，如果球道面
平整，且break down發生的時間點適切，這種油型可以打出很高的
分數。


DE: What kind of bowling ball do you like on this pattern?

DE: 這種油型你喜歡用哪種球?

CB:
I use a low RG (2.45) ball with a .050 differential.
This is a stronger ball with a strong cover and a little
bit of surface. This allows my ball to read the mid lane
and get solid continuation through the pins.

CB:
我用低RG (2.45)，050RG差、開法強、球皮咬板的輕度澀面
球。這種條件使球能在中段反應，且持續到撞擊球瓶為止。


DE: Please give us some tips for playing the Scorpion pattern.

DE: 請給我們幾個應付Scorpion油型的小袐訣。

CB:
It’s better to play a more direct line on fresh oil
and not give away the 3 pin (2 pin for lefties). Keep your
angles tight. The Scorpion pattern will open up, so stay
patient, eventually move inside and you should have some
hold and swing area.

CB:
剛上完油時把線打直些，鎖住你的進攻角度。Scorpion 油型
的角度可以愈打愈大，所以要有耐性，等到可以將路線往inside內
移時，你的球就可以有往左(hold area)或往右(swing area)的容
錯誤差。


-----------------------------------------------------------------


DE: How does the Chameleon pattern typically play?

DE: Chameleon的油型要怎麼打?

http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=rmp4vu03&b=6&f=1718401704&p=9

CB:
This pattern can change very quickly. On the Chameleon
, straighter is often greater. Since it’s a medium length
pattern, you can play many differnet angles. However, some
lane surfaces will dictate how direct you have to play the
Chameleon.

CB:
此款油型變化得很快，打Chameleon這種油路，直送會比較棒。
因為油的長短適中，你可以打很多不同的角度。然而不同球道面，
會直接影響你的攻擊策略。

DE: How do you attack Chameleon when it breaks down?

DE: Chameleon發生break down時，你怎麼打?

CB:
I like to pick up my ball speed and stay in the same
part of lane. You can use extreme angles later on after
the lanes break down quite a bit. After it breaks down,
I will change to a stronger ball and use longer drillings.
You might have to make big moves on this pattern to get
the ball to smooth out in front of the pins.

CB:
我會固守球速及攻擊路線，直到break down更嚴重時才換線
。然後我會換顆較強的球，使用較長的鑽法。在這種油型下，你
可以採大的移位，使球線平緩地進入球瓶。


DE: What kind of bowling balls do you prefer on Chameleon?

DE: 對於Chameleon油型，你偏好用哪種球?

CB:
On Chameleon, I like to use a ball with a bit of
surface on the fresh. But that can get me in trouble
as the pattern breaks down. Use balls with a moderately
shiny surface, try to stay in the same part of lane
and pick up your ball speed.

CB:
剛下完油時我會用較為澀面的球，但breaks down時，這
種球就不好用了，此時要換顆中亮面的球，以相同的球速打同
樣的線。


DE: Do you have any tips for playing the Chameleon pattern?

DE: 打Chameleon時有什麼小袐訣?


CB:
A direct line typically is my optimal angle of attack.
But don’t be afraid to try multiple angles. It all depends
on the lane surface. On higher friction lane surfaces, you
can move inside and have success on the Chameleon pattern.

CB:
直的攻擊角度較適合我，但別害怕嘗試多種角度，這都得看它
是那種球道面。如果球道面的摩擦力較大，將路線往inside內移較
容易打出高分。


--------------------------------------------------------------------

DE: How does the Cheetah pattern typically play?

DE: Cheetah的油型要怎麼打?

http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=rmp4vu03&b=6&f=1718401705&p=10


CB:
Cheetah is our shortest pattern on Tour and always
plays toward the channel. If there is some bounce
(hook off the dry boards) near the channel. I can move
a little left and use a ball with more surface and stronger
drillings.

CB:
Cheetah是巡迴賽中最短的油型，通常我都打溝邊。如果球在溝
邊乾板區切得太急，我就將線稍往左移，再拿顆開得很強的澀面球打。


DE: How does Cheetah normally break down?

DE: Cheetah break down時要怎麼打?


CB:
That depends on how much hook you can generate
near the channel. Your breakpoint may have to be
close to the channel, but in some causes you can
move your feet and target a little more inside and
make your breakpoint 5 or 6 board instead of 2 or 3.

CB:
那要看球在溝邊可以彎多少，你的轉折點可以在溝邊附
近，但在某些場合就要將站點及目標點往內移一些，以5,6塊
板的轉折來替代原先的2,3塊板。


DE: What kind of bowling balls do you like on Cheetah?

DE: Cheetah油型你喜歡用哪種球?


CB:
I prefer to use stronger balls that read the midlane
and control the bounce off the channel. Cheetah can
sometimes give you an over/under reaction. There are
two ways to even out the over/under. Either play in the
dry area with a weaker ball and hand position or move
inside and use a stronger ball so it loses energy to
control the back end hook.

CB:
我都用較強的球，以它的中段反應來防止它觸及溝邊的乾
板時的突然折回，Cheetah的油型，有時會使球會彎得太多，有
時則彎得不夠。這有二種方法來解決: 用較弱的球及手勢打較乾
的地方，或移到inside，用較強的球使它失去能量來控制球尾的
彎度。


DE: Do you have any tips for playing the Cheetah pattern?

DE: 打Cheetah時有什麼小袐訣?

CB:
Strike early and often. On Cheetah you normally must
get the ball to the 1 to 3 boards down the lane to have
success. If the 1 to 3 boards don’t hook, this patern
can be very difficult and you will have to play straight
up between the 5 or 10 boards and control the back end hook.

CB:
一開始就要衝出很多strike，打Cheetah時通常將球下在1~3塊
板間來創造高分，如果1~3塊板彎不回來，那麼這個油型就會很難打
，你就得把線移往5或10塊板直送來控制球尾。

DE: Do you have a favorite PBA experience oil pattern?

DE: 你最喜歡的那種PBA的油型?


CB:
I have had the most success on the Cheetah pattern,
but my favorites are the Scorpion and Chameleon.

CB:
我在Cheetah的成績最好，但卻最喜歡打Scorpion 和 Chameleon。


DE: Which is your least favorite pattern?

DE: 你最不喜歡的油型是那一種?

CB:
Shark. I don’t like to see my ball break that far down the lane.

CB:
Shark，我不喜歡看我的球到球道的遠端才轉折。


DE: Any final words of advice?

DE: 最後還有什麼忠告嗎?


CB:
PBA experience oil patterns are challenging, but
also exciting and rewarding. The decisions you’ll
make about equipment, technique adjustments such as
targeting and release, and shooting at more spares
ultimately can make you a better and more complete
bowler. Give it a try. You’ll have a good time and
an enjoyable challenge.

CB:
PBA的油型都不好打，但卻刺激又值得挑戰，除了在球具
、技巧、下點及釋球方式作調整外，完成更多的spare才能把
你變成一位更強、更全方位的球員，試著挑戰它，你將會樂
在其中！
