Kegel Middle Road vs USBC pattern
« on: May 29, 2012, 02:00:32 PM »
Can anyone compare these two patterns? I think the lengths are the same, but not sure about the units used.

I am not good at reading lane graphs yet. :(

Middle road is easier for me. As far as tugging it both patterns will jump high. I feel you have more recovery on middle road when you miss out. As far as backend reaction both are fairly similar

Interesting. I had some recovery on the USBC pattern, but it's so hard to tell what is the lane, and what is the pattern. Do you find that the end of the pattern is a harder move, or is the pattern more blended? I find on the USBC pattern, that I have to either use equipment and surface that rolls smoother early on, then I can get in and go more left to right with something with a bigger move once the pattern is blended.

That's what I did on both patterns as well
