Oil Pattern

The 2025 PBA LBC National Championships oil pattern is not your typical house shot but it’s also not as demanding as a PBA Tour pattern. Its design is slightly shorter than last year’s respected pattern, coming in at 42 feet. With 31.25 mL of Kegel Fire conditioner and nearly a 5:1 ratio, it offers a great mix of scoring potential and strategy.
