Tower of Pisa Oil Pattern

Tower of Pisa is a 41-foot Kegel Landmark pattern with a low 3.27 to 1 ratio. The length is right in the medium range, but the flat ratio keeps it demanding. There is little difference between the oil in the middle and outside, so the pocket plays tight.

On a pattern like this you trade area for accuracy. Play smaller and straighter, keep the ball under control, and the moderate length gives you a workable breakpoint.

How to Play the Tower of Pisa Pattern

Straight Bowlers and Strokers

A flatter pattern at a medium length suits a straight game. Play direct, keep your hook in check, and stay in the oil where the pattern is consistent.

Mid-Rev Tweeners

Play a tight, controlled line around the third arrow. Avoid the big swing. Small precise moves keep you in a tight pocket on a low ratio.

High-Rev Crankers

Tone down your surface and play straighter so the ball does not over-hook. The flat shape punishes overreaction, so control your motion and keep misses small.

 

Difficulty and What to Expect

Tower of Pisa plays hard. The 3.27 to 1 ratio gives little area, so the pocket is tight even at a comfortable 41-foot length. Accuracy is the difference.
