Quick Info:
Length: 39 feet
Oil Volume: Moderate
Description:
The Chameleon demands a bowler to be versatile and unafraid of making large adjustments in order to score high.
How to Play the Pattern:
Increased volumes of oil are placed in zones on the Chameleon, forcing bowlers to choose which part of the lane they want to play. There’s no universal line to use as the best plan. Each bowler needs to figure out which line best suits his game.
Scores on this pattern are typically low to medium, as large adjustments are often needed to adapt to the oil zones and work the lane effectively. If you find yourself struggling to get any hook on the ball, don’t be afraid to move five boards or more left or right. It may seem like a big adjustment, but on the Chameleon pattern, it’s normal.
The winner on this pattern is likely to be the bowler with a versatile game who isn’t afraid to make huge adjustments.
