Attacking Kegel's Beaten Path Pattern
« on: June 18, 2008, 11:16:37 AM »
Greetings all!

I will be shooting a tourney with the Beaten Path pattern from Kegel being used.

Here is the house information:
Approaches Kegel Edge Synthetic
Surfaces Kegel Edge Synthetic
Pin decks Duradecks
Pin setters Brunswick GS-96
Pins Twister
Sanction Standard Elite
Oil Kegel Infinity
Cleaner Kegel Fission

Here is the pattern info from Kegel...

So the question is how to attack?  

Thanks for any assistance!!

the only navigational pattern i've bowled on is the highway to hell, but i'm sure they play similar. the interesting part to these patterns is the extra
"bump" of volume around the 15-20ft. mark. I'd try to play close to the 7-8-9 range down and in until the track wears and then move in to all the oil in the heads and bump the dryed track. with so much volume in the middle, the swing shot to the track will hold up for a couple games. I'm on Authority 22 oil so that shot might breakdown quicker

I played Beaten Path pattern once, it's really not too bad. I only averaged mid 180s on it, but I think I would have done a lot better had I not been so ill with a chest infection at the time! I think I played around 10, moving in a little later.

Just make sure you repeat your shots and make the spares and you won't go too far wrong!

Thank you everyone for inputs!!

For those who have played on it...

What type of surface and strength ball did you use???

I would say, start out with a strong solid playing in the track area, depending on how much friction and pattern breakdown you get, I would then switch to a polished solid, maybe even same ball as the first, just polished, and then if you still get too much friction, switch to a pearl, idk something similar to a BWP.
