Notes
Kegel Kode 4345 - Route 66 is one the longest road in America and at 45 feet in length, so is this pattern in the series. As with most long oil patterns, the optimum line is usually one that is closer to the pocket or more towards the inside portion of the lane. The greatest slope of conditioner on ROUTE 66 is from the 11th board to the 16th board so players should target along this route. Outside of the 11th board, the pattern is flat so there will be very little room for error. Because of the long length of the pattern, a smooth, clean exit from the thumb hole to get the ball rolling is imperative on ROUTE 66! Kegel Pattern Library: Kegel Patterns / Navigation Patterns.
