High Street Oil Pattern

High Street is a 44-foot Kegel Navigation pattern built to score. With a high ratio and outside friction, it plays close to a house shot even at a longer distance. The length gives it a slightly later breakpoint, but the big ratio keeps it forgiving.

High Street comes in two versions. The V2 runs a 13.00 to 1 ratio for the most room, and the original is 11.00 to 1. Both play around 44 feet, so the plan is the same: use the area and trust the recovery.

How to Play the High Street Pattern

Straight Bowlers and Strokers

A high ratio at 44 feet is easy on a straight game. Play direct with good speed and enjoy the wide pocket. The length means keep it in front of you, but you will not need much hook.

Mid-Rev Tweeners

Use the area. Swing the ball to the friction outside and let it come back. Misses hold and recover, so commit to your target and stay relaxed.

High-Rev Crankers

Open the lane and play your angles. Plenty of hold inside and friction outside give a big margin. Watch for over and under late as the pattern breaks down.

 

Difficulty and What to Expect

High Street plays easy and high scoring. The high ratio gives a wide pocket, and the 44-foot length adds just a little late breakpoint. A great scoring and practice pattern.
