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.

PR3.5
  • Ratio 45%3.2Flatter patterns score higher. 10:1 walls score 1, dead flat scores 10.
  • Distance 25%3.639 to 41 ft is the playable band; longer and shorter both climb.
  • Outside oil 20%3.3Oil on boards 3 to 7 takes away the miss room, measured from the load tables.
  • Volume 10%4.620 to 26 mL is typical; heavier or lighter both add difficulty.

Notes

With Tungsten meaning "heavy stone" in Swedish, this oil pattern can lift your scores high if the lane surface allows the outside to play. However, if the lane does not play well outside and you're forced to move farther towards the inside, don't be surprised if your scores drop like a rock. Kegel Tip ‐ Oil patterns in the 38' to 39' range can often be tricky and are very lane surface dependent. They can often be too long to play outside because they can create "hang spots", yet too short to play inside because of the "lack of hold area" Kegel Pattern Library: Kegel Patterns / Element Series.
