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%3.0Flatter 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%3.2Oil on boards 3 to 7 takes away the miss room, measured from the load tables.
  • Volume 10%4.820 to 26 mL is typical; heavier or lighter both add difficulty.

Notes

Designed for FLEX | GATEWAY ARCH - 8442 | John Davis, the Founder of Kegel, was from Missouri and used to have a saying; "they always like 'em easy in St. Louis." The Gateway Arch pattern is a tribute to that saying and yes, the composite shape is one large arch from 9R-9L! Kegel Pattern Library: Kegel Patterns / Landmark Patterns.
