I drilled my Kinetic with what is close to a 75 degree pattern, MB is below my thumb, and the pin is to the right of my ring finger, and it is a monster on medium oil. Makes a strong hard arc back to the pocket and hits extremely hard. It's not enough ball for heavier oil for me, but that's what the Rising is for I'm guessing. Any drill pattern that matches your game and the conditions should work great with it.
