Pinlocity Rating (PR)

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

PR3.6
  • Ratio 45%2.9Flatter 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%3.2Oil on boards 3 to 7 takes away the miss room, measured from the load tables.
  • Volume 10%4.520 to 26 mL is typical; heavier or lighter both add difficulty.

Notes

This 42 foot challenge oil pattern has a slope of 7 boards from the low point to the high point ‐ just like the density of the element Chromium which is 7.19 g/cm. Oil patterns that cover fewer boards from the low point to high point tend to be easier than ones that cross more boards. Most house shots cover fewer boards. But with the higher friction Terrain conditioner confined to the outside boards, along with medium‐slow buff used at the end of the pattern, if you can get your breakpoint out towards that area you too can shine on the Chromium pattern. Kegel Tip ‐ Medium‐slow buffer speed (#2) on the FLEX means less oil is buffed on the lane in that zone. Kegel Pattern Library: Kegel Patterns / Element Series.
