We've had the Middle Road pattern as standard pattern in our house since the end of September.
Normally, straighter is greater on our lanes (Brunswick Prolane). On the fresh, getting your shot rolling parallel to the boards has worked well. On the gutter, that means laying the ball down on boards 2 or 3 and staying there past the arrows. Playing inside of board 15 has generally meant lower scores than outside.
We used the Kegel Infinity conditioner the first five weeks. The main transition issue with Infinity was carrydown. Now we've been using Kegel Prodigy for almost two weeks. With Prodigy, the main transition comes in the midlane as this conditioner seems move to the side rather than cause problems downlane.
