HOWLING AT THE MOON
![Page 2: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Bowling has evolved into two parallel yet extreme worlds.
![Page 3: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
They are the same, yet as different as NIGHT and DAY.

Recreational and Competitive
![Page 5: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
In bowling’s recreational world, owning personal equipment is rare.
![Page 6: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Most use a house ball and rental shoes.
![Page 7: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
In bowling’s competitive world, owning personal equipment is essential.
![Page 8: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
In fact, an ARSENAL of bowling balls is required to be competitive.
![Page 9: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
“Today’s player HAS to have three to five times as many balls. Nobody is good enough to get by with just six because the lanes change too fast and too much!”
Mark Baker in a PBA.com article comparing the six – eight balls he used when competing in the PBA Tournament of Champions to the number needed in 2012.
![Page 10: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
In bowling’s recreational world, lane oil is inconsequential.
![Page 11: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Most recreational participants do not know that lane oil can be shaped into patterns.
![Page 12: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Or that these patterns have names.
![Page 13: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In fact, many recreational participants are unaware that lane oil even exists.
![Page 14: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
So many recreational-focused centers have stopped oiling lanes to prevent
‘slip & fall’ lawsuits.
![Page 15: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
But in bowling’s competitive world, lane oil has taken on a life of its own.
![Page 16: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
There are currently over 50 named oil patterns.
![Page 17: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Data suggests the RELENTLESS cycle is endless.
![Page 18: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Deeper oil = Increasingly aggressive balls
![Page 19: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Increasingly aggressive balls = Deeper oil
![Page 20: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Oil volumes on the PBA Tour are up over
SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENTcompared to the 1970’s.
![Page 21: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Oil volume at the Masters has increased 20.7% since 2010 to 30.3 mL per lane.
![Page 22: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
So which world does the MARKET favor?
![Page 23: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Long-term trends suggest sooner rather than later…
![Page 24: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
We will all be bowling in the
![Page 25: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
We will all be bowling in the
![Page 26: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
In the 1980’s, COMPETITIVE participants were 75% of the bowling population.
*Those who bowl 13 or more times per year.
![Page 27: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Today 80%of the bowling population is
RECREATIONAL
*Those who bowl 12 or fewer times per year.
![Page 28: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
It is not the growth of recreational bowling that is of
CONCERN
![Page 29: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The concern is the
28%decline in the population of
competitive bowlers since 2007.
*White Hutchinson, 2012

Is competitive bowling destined to the same fate as the
DODO SCALE?
![Page 31: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
To examine and shed light on the cause of this trend, industry experts gathered in June 2009.

The summit was the genesis of a plan to offer an alternate world by:
Simplifying the modern game
Making bowling easier to teach & learn
Placing an emphasis on bowler technique
![Page 34: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Keys to achieving the plan’s goals:
The introduction of non-flaring,non-resin bowling balls
The significant reduction of oil volumes
![Page 35: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
But the plan quickly came under fire…
![Page 36: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
“Most kids do not have the skills to bowl well without modern balls.”
![Page 37: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
“You can’t stop technology!”
![Page 38: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
“Expecting that game to appeal to a generation of people used to technology?
I don't think so.”
![Page 39: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
“This isn’t real bowling. It’s crap bowling.”
![Page 40: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
“You are howling at the moon!”
![Page 41: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
But we didn’t listen.
![Page 42: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Instead, we offered up the new Skill Environment at the 2013 Teen Masters:
Participants were allowed just two balls:
PBA Skill 2.0: Non-flaring plastic
PBA Skill 3.0: Non-flaring urethane
Oil volumes were reduced to 7 mL
![Page 43: Howling At The Moon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050816/54985ed3ac7959412e8b55ad/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
On the following slide you will hearwhat the teen participants and others
had to say about the Skill Environment:

Following the event, an online survey of those who competed was conducted.
The survey received a 60% response rate compared with the national average for online surveys of only 30%.
