Anyone ever bowl on the kegel Mexico city pattern?? 45ft

 If you did please share what your experience was.. I'm bowling on it this weekend and was just trying to see how it played and what kind of gear you used?

I have a low rev rate, so for me this pattern was brutal, even on higher friction AMF HPL synthetics. Very flat both side to side and front to back, and it played very tight. The best look I ended up having was with a pin under middle finger Cell with a really light shine playing as tight to the headpin as possible (around 17 at the arrows and never getting it further than around 13 or 14 downlane) and hoping to mix the pins up. Every time I tried to use something duller or something with a stronger drilling, it just rolled way too early and didn't have any energy left at the pins, and anything pearlized went far too long and never read the lane at all.

Agree with Dan.  My best shot was to start with low RG and surface to begin and move to higher RG and flippier stuff as the shot breaks down. 

As for where to play, depends on who you are bowling with.  If it is a regional where people have a better understanding of the shot, then most likely a burn will occur inside of ten.  Just stay inside of there for best results.  If you are in a league, well, just hope people aren't trying to spray everything all over the place. 

Try to stick to your gameplan yet keep an eye out for what others are doing.

I was able to play in, but this pattern opens up A LOT. I have medium revs medium speed


I'm in the process of trying to find out where I fit in the bowling world. I do not know my tech specs of my game, but it's all a learning process.
