Pattern Volumes
Pattern volume is also grouped in 3 categories. These categories are Low, Medium, and High volumes.
The amount of oil you use is dependent on the lane surface, lane conditioner, and bowler type.
a. Low volume patterns are perfect for centers solely focused on recreational or open play.
Customers will use house balls made of either polyester or urethane. These balls do not absorb
oil and cause more oil to migrate to the pit area potentially causing pin setter related issues.
Pattern volume: less than 19 milliliters.
b. Medium volume patterns are more common in centers with a league and open play based
center. This volume gives more exibility for a more diverse group of bowler types and bowling
ball cover stock choices. Pattern volume: 19 to 25 milliliters.
c. High volume patterns are more common in sport focused centers. These volumes help protect
the lanes from the high-performance bowling balls as well as a larger number of games played
between lane maintenance. Pattern volume: Greater than 25 milliliters.
