Pinlocity Rating (PR)

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

PR2.6
  • Ratio 45%1.0Flatter patterns score higher. 10:1 walls score 1, dead flat scores 10.
  • Distance 25%4.739 to 41 ft is the playable band; longer and shorter both climb.
  • Outside oil 20%2.8Oil on boards 3 to 7 takes away the miss room, measured from the load tables.
  • Volume 10%4.020 to 26 mL is typical; heavier or lighter both add difficulty.

Notes

It could be said that the way the two conditioners are used in the Carbon pattern is simply magical, just like the element. By using Terrain in the forward pass on the outsides and predominantly at the end of the pattern we get smooth friction where needed, and by using Ice only in the middles on the reverse pass we get durability along with slickness for hold area. Not often can you find the durability of graphite and the glitter of diamonds together, but the Carbon pattern is about as close as we can get!
