Paris Pattern

[Shaneshu87]

anyone have any experience on this pattern? i'm rolling on it tonight and due to a vacation i have not had the chance to roll on it yet. i watched a video of Barnes talking about it i know its 47 feet, and it's very light oil.

Start right and be ready to move as it breaks down pretty quick

[Shaneshu87]

which direction should my moves be? i looks like i could move right or left however i cannot find a pattern chart to see how the oil lays out. is it flat?

[Shaneshu87]

i found it never mind this is gonna be fun!

Some extra info:
the Team USA flyer recommends playing it straighter since the volume isn’t that high.

The Exit point formula has the ball exiting the oil at 16

Mo's breakpoint formula would suggest starting to look for your breakpoint around 13.

Here's a Kelly Kulick tip video

Actually she didn't really say to play left, just that you could play left. Which is what she did, using a softer speed and a aggressive ball.

Looking at their balls they were both breaking about the same point, which looked to be around the 10-13 board even though they were using different lines.

Which goes along with Mo's formula for a starting point to look for the breakpoint.

That's the thing on a long pattern you usually want to play closer to the head pin.

yeah i watched the Barnes vid and i throw allot like him and his line doesn't look to bad so thats probably what ill play

[Shaneshu87]

the big question is how quick do they transition?

As good as place as any to start, just remember you still have to play the lanes as you find them.

[Shaneshu87]

yeah i know, we change lanes after each game so each set is different just don't like going in blindfolded

[Shaneshu87]

did not like paris... course not to many others did either highest game of the night was a 233. i shot 135, 177, 139, 179... miraculously i won all 4 games but still did not like paris... at all

Did you learn how to play the pattern for next time

[Shaneshu87]

absolutely! lol looks like a symmetrical ball with a strong layout would fit this pattern good
