I got a rare opportunity to bowl Cheetah pattern yesterday at a Mile High Tour stops, and it turns out that it actually is hard.  It ate me alive, no pun intended.  I was playing strait down the 5th board, but I could not seem to carry anything, and then my spare game sucks so it I didn't have that to fall back on.  Stupid me, stupid Cheetah, stupid spares.  I guess 13th out of 24 isn't too bad, but I know I could have done better.

As a result, I have a whole new respect for the PBA guys who make Cheetah look easy, because it is anything but that.
