Street racer here's is some stuff I dug up on these patterns

WINDING ROAD - 2839 This oil pattern uses a distance of 39 feet with very little downlane help to guide the ball into the pocket. Because of the lower ratios towards the end of pattern, the greatest factor on how the WINDING ROAD will play is the lane surface and how the bowlers breakdown the pattern. The WINDING ROAD could play more inside or it could play more outside but the player who figures it out will straighten out the WINDING ROAD!

DISTANCE: 39
TOTAL OIL (mL): 22.45
FORWARD DISTANCE: 39
REVERSE DISTANCE: 29
OIL x BOARD: 50


HIGHWAY TO HELL 2340 - This 40 foot pattern is the flattest of the group and therefore can be the most difficult. With an increased amount of conditioner outside, the HIGHWAY TO HELL is a low latitude ratio pattern with very little left to right shape to help guide the bowling ball towards the pocket. Each player will have to decide and make sense of their ball reaction to decide what’s best for them to find their way down the HIGHWAY TO HELL!
DISTANCE: 40
TOTAL OIL (mL): 25.30
FORWARD DISTANCE: 40
REVERSE DISTANCE: 30
OIL x BOARD: 50


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.
DISTANCE: 43
TOTAL OIL (mL): 24.25
FORWARD DISTANCE: 43
REVERSE DISTANCE: 32
OIL x BOARD: 50


BOARDWALK - 2435 Based upon the 2000 PBA Indianapolis Open pattern which was created by Kegel, this pattern is designed to play towards the edge board. Because of the relatively short 35 foot length of the BOARDWALK, players will need to control the excessive change of direction of the bowling ball as it enters the 25 feet of dry backend. Since lanes do have many topographical differences, on some lanes the BOARDWALK will require a more direct route to the pocket while other lane characteristics may allow players to swing the ball to the edge board. Like all wooden walkways, this pattern can provide great excitement but stray too far off the BOARDWALK and you’ll find yourself in the moat!
DISTANCE: 35
TOTAL OIL (mL): 23.90
FORWARD DISTANCE: 35
REVERSE DISTANCE: 28
OIL x BOARD: 50

thanks but, i already know that stuff, i was doing a review on the patterns for my coach, so i did a word sheet etc,

but, just would like to know, how would yous tackle the pattern?

[bluerrpilot]

They are designed to play a certain way, but like bubba said the topography will play a big part in that. If you play outside lines, use something with the pin down or thats very smooth off the spot. You already have the angle from playing out there so you will need the control. If you have to move deep, you will need the ball to respond off the friction as fast as possible. That way you can try to avoid flat 10's from a weak entry angle.

Sounds like a time for the Rico everyone has been asking about ! Thats what I would try for sure on a few of them

[BubbaRay]

I was just thinking that same thing Stampy.

Now street, ur rev rate might be able to greatly help u on the 43 foot pattern. If u can move outside, u'll probably be the only one out there and won't have to move much. Now definetly if u were able to drill something very week for the 35 that would be good or use ur urethane for that.

[Thepainscoming]

Good luck street.

If you can, break the cover and then take it back up to whatever you want. My impression of that ball was the length of the TNV with the recovery of the NVS. Best of the NV series IMO
