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.

PR5.7
  • Ratio 45%6.7Flatter patterns score higher. 10:1 walls score 1, dead flat scores 10.
  • Distance 25%5.639 to 41 ft is the playable band; longer and shorter both climb.
  • Outside oil 20%4.7Oil on boards 3 to 7 takes away the miss room, measured from the load tables.
  • Volume 10%3.820 to 26 mL is typical; heavier or lighter both add difficulty.

Notes

DEAD MAN'S CURVE - 3043 | This 43 foot pattern has more out of bounds than most patterns because of the increased application of conditioner on the forward pass. With a slight increase slope of oil from the tenth board to the fourteenth board on the return pass, the goal of the player is to target along those boards of extra conditioner without swinging the ball too much towards the outside part of the lane. Players who try to excessively curve the ball with too much speed will find DEAD MAN'S CURVE hazardous to their score. Kegel Pattern Library: Kegel Patterns / Navigation Patterns.
