Sunset Strip Oil Pattern

Sunset Strip is a 40-foot Kegel Navigation pattern with a low 3.33 to 1 ratio. Despite the street name, this one plays like a sport pattern. The flat ratio means little area, so the pocket is tight and your shot has to be accurate.

At a medium 40 feet, the breakpoint is reasonable, but the low ratio is the story. Play smaller and straighter, keep the ball under control, and lean on accuracy to score.

How to Play the Sunset Strip Pattern

Straight Bowlers and Strokers

A flatter pattern suits a straight game. Play direct, keep your hook small, and stay in the oil. Accuracy is your edge over a big hook here.

Mid-Rev Tweeners

Play a tight, controlled line and avoid reaching outside. Small precise moves keep you in a tight pocket on a low ratio.

High-Rev Crankers

Smooth your surface and play straighter so the ball does not over-hook. The flat shape punishes overreaction, so control your motion.

 

Difficulty and What to Expect

Sunset Strip plays hard. The 3.33 to 1 ratio gives little area, so the pocket is tight even at a comfortable 40-foot length. Accuracy is the difference.
