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
