Matt Mcniel Breaks Down the 2026 USBC Open Championships Patterns
Episode 840
Tuesday, 14 April, 2026

I catch up with five-time USBC Eagle winner Matt Mcniel to talk about his trip to Reno for the USBC Open Championships. Matt breaks down this year’s team pattern, why he believes it’s very similar to last year’s, and what bowlers should expect when they hit the lanes. Matt and Storm Products 1 Team put together a strong performance, posting a 3151 team score, while Matt himself rolled an impressive 1961 across all nine games. We also dive into the doubles and singles patterns, with Matt sharing key insights for bowlers heading to Reno this year—including why using too much surface might not be the best approach for most players.
