Broadway is a 37-foot Kegel Navigation pattern with a 4.77 to 1 ratio in its V2 version. The short-to-medium length lets the ball get into a roll early, while the moderate ratio gives a usable amount of room. It is more playable than the flatter roads but still asks for a controlled shot.
Broadway comes in a few versions. The V2 runs 4.77 to 1, while the 50 and 40 microliter versions play a bit flatter around 4.09 to 1 and 3.55 to 1. All play near 37 feet, so manage the early hook and keep your line controlled.

A shorter medium pattern fits a straight game. Play direct with steady speed and let the ball roll. Keep your hook in check so it does not turn too early.
Play a controlled angle and trust a smooth motion. The short length turns the ball sooner, so make small moves and avoid a big swing.
Mind the early hook. Smooth your surface a touch and keep your speed up so the ball finishes rather than jumping. Play tighter on the lower-volume versions.
Broadway plays medium. The V2 ratio gives a usable amount of room, while the shorter length tempts an early hook. The lower-volume versions play a bit flatter and tighter.
