deadman's curve

anyone give me any advice on this pattern? i have never bowled on a kegel sport pattern before and have no idea what to expect with this pattern. i know it is long 43ft but dunno if it is heavy oiled or what or where to start throwing the ball. thanks

The only thing I can remeber is I would try not to swing the ball out very much. Once your ball reaches past 10, it wont come back.

The best area to play is around the 12th board straight up. There is quite a bit of oil also still, so something agressive works good, some sort oil ball.
I also found that using something with a sanded surface also works better to ensure the ball cuts through the oil and hit the pins stronger.
Any polished ball I tried skidded too long and even if I slowed down the speed it wanted to jump to hard off the spot causing corner pins and other single pins to stand..


It's a fairly challenging pattern. It's play-able and possible to score good. Focus on the cleaning up the spares too, always helps your score. ;)


Good luck.

there very basic but gives you a lil brief view(coach wanted this notes)

Dead Man Curve (Block 1)
Information on the Pattern
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.
Game 1: 179 Game 2: 146 Game 3: 147 Game 4: 195 Game 5: 214
Balls Used: Complete NV
Length: 43ft
Ratio: 3:1
Found this pattern to break down at the heads pretty quickly first up, causing overeacting shots, lanes really started to break down between 2nd-3rd game and also started to carrydown. Adjusted a lot to the left, added some loft and some ball speed, found a good line to the pocket to finish, also had a glass wall to contend with in the 3rd game, Complete NV worked awesome on this pattern, worked even better in the carrydown

thanks im still trying to see which ball i wanna use i mean i do have the new virtual energy and i think it will help out....also i have the hyroad for when the energy is too strong. i dunno hopefully i do better in the tournament than i did last night in league. thank you all

Assuming all your balls are at OOB surface and not having any idea of how you throw the ball or how they are drilled....

Your cell or anger would be good to start off with.
Take the virtual enegry also, even though it is a polished ball, I think it can get down the lane and give you good recovery and carry, it it becomes to flippy though, I would stick with your anger or cell though..
