Easy Street is a 39-foot Kegel Navigation pattern, and the name fits. With a high ratio and outside friction, it is one of the most forgiving patterns in the series. The shorter length lets the ball get into a roll early, so the pocket fills up nicely.
Easy Street comes in two versions. The V2 runs a 12.00 to 1 ratio, and the original is 10.00 to 1. Both play around 38 to 39 feet, so the strategy is the same: use the big area and keep it simple.

About as friendly as it gets for a straight game. Play direct, the pocket is wide, and the shorter length helps the ball roll. Keep your speed steady and repeat.
Use the area and swing to the friction. The high ratio brings the ball back, so commit to your target and stay relaxed. Misses hold and recover.
Open up and play deeper angles. Plenty of room to swing, and the shorter length gives an early, strong read. Watch for over reaction as it breaks down.
Easy Street plays easy and high scoring by design. The high ratio and shorter length give a wide pocket and an early roll. It is a great pattern for practice and for newer bowlers.
