    I've bowled on it before, it's long(43ft) so play inside. Try to use a dull ball if you can, that'd help

    That isn't one I have bowled on, but I looked up the graph and load data. From what I can see, I would say that your best bet would be to use a dull ball up the 5 to 6 board. ALthough the pattern is long, if you have a decent amount of revs on the ball, you should be able to dry out a break point. After you break the pattern in a little bit, you will just have to make small movements with your feet and mark to keep your break point on that dry spot. Long patterns are not easy, but this one doesn't put a ton of oil on the outside, so you should be able to break it down fairly quickly. the head oil goes farther down past the eight board, so I would avoid throwing it left of that unless necessary. If you dont' feel comfortable with this line, I would suggest to use a pearlized ball with lots of back end and play a line that you set it down around the 8 board and then cross the arrows at the 9 or ten board. This will be very straight, but with the right ball, it will react at the end just enough to carry, then when that dries out, move your feet, and not your mark. This will change the angle to adjust for the extra backend reaction you will get when you start to dry out the line. Hope this helps! I would love to hear how it goes. I have bowled on about 10 of their sport patterns at Kegel, but this one I haven't done yet.

    A lot depends on the lane surface you are bowling on. At the wood house i bowl king of the hills at i was able to use my Sideways playing 15-12 and score pretty decent on it. Higher sppeed players were using more surface. Best results seemed to be keeping you angles through the fron tighter and obviously being accurate and not spraying the ball
    Still love the game but had to quit because of my left leg amptation
