Pinlocity Rating (PR)

How hard this pattern plays, 1 (a walled house shot) to 10 (long, flat, and heavy). Sport. Computed from the sheet numbers and the load tables; no opinions involved.

PR6.3
  • Ratio 45%8.2Flatter patterns score higher. 10:1 walls score 1, dead flat scores 10.
  • Distance 25%4.239 to 41 ft is the playable band; longer and shorter both climb.
  • Outside oil 20%5.7Oil on boards 3 to 7 takes away the miss room, measured from the load tables.
  • Volume 10%4.120 to 26 mL is typical; heavier or lighter both add difficulty.

Notes

Designed for FLEX | ALCATRAZ - 2038 | 38' patterns can often handcuff players because they are too short to play inside, but too long to play outside. However, within the Alcatraz oil pattern there looks to be an escape route, and many have tried to use it, but very few have succeeded. Kegel Pattern Library: Kegel Patterns / Landmark Patterns.
