SKILL EXPERIENCE
Mastering the Skill Environment will help you master others:
Over 98% of Teen Masters bowlers believe the Skill Environment helps them in other competition.
Bowlers with Teen Masters Skill experience were only 7.3% of the Junior Gold field in Chicago last year. They won 50% of the titles!
Since 2013, bowlers with Teen Masters Skill experience have earned Junior Gold scholarships at a rate 234% greater than those without.
THE SKILL ENVIRONMENT: BALLS
To level the playing field, competitors are each limited to one PBA Skill 2.0 and one PBA Skill 3.0 ball
PBA® Skill 2.0 (plastic)
PBA® Skill 3.0(urethane)
Both versions contain the same low-differential core (0.009), leaving the bowler
responsible for the ball's motion while coverstocks reduce flare and oil absorption.
THE SKILL ENVIRONMENT: OIL
Because ball flare and oil absorption have been reduced, low-volume oil patterns are possible:
The Teen Masters Skill Patterns and Kegel KOSI files are available for download under the RESOURCES tab on TeenMastersBowling.com
SKILL LONG
40’
7.8 mL of Oil
SKILL SHORT
30’
7.92 mL of Oil
