Autobahn is a 42-foot Kegel Navigation pattern with a low 2.44 to 1 ratio. The medium-long length combined with a flat ratio makes it one of the tougher patterns in the Navigation series. The limited area means a tight pocket and little room to miss.
Like the road it is named for, Autobahn rewards control at speed. Play a tight line, keep the ball in front of you, and lean on accuracy because there is no big swing to save a bad shot.

A flatter pattern at 42 feet suits a straight game. Play direct, keep your hook in check, and stay in the oil. Accuracy and speed control are your edge.
Play a tight, controlled line around the third arrow. Avoid reaching outside. Small precise moves keep you in a tight pocket on a low ratio.
Smooth your surface and play straighter so the ball gets down the lane without over-hooking. The flat back punishes overreaction, so control beats power.
Autobahn plays hard. The 2.44 to 1 ratio gives little area, and the 42-foot length keeps the breakpoint deep. Expect a tight pocket and make your spares.
