- Length: 40′
The 40 foot, Bear Oil Pattern takes a page from the legacy of the U.S. Open and is the most challenging of the PBA animal patterns with a flat 1 to 1 ratio. Consideration has been given by increasing overall volume of oil to accommodate aggressive playing surfaces along with today’s high tech bowling balls. Expect a low scoring pace for this pattern as it remains the ultimate test of a bowler’s skill.
