Wall Street Oil Pattern

Wall Street is a 40-foot Kegel Navigation pattern with a high ratio, built to score. At 40 feet with plenty of outside friction, it plays like a comfortable house shot with a wide pocket and good recovery.

Wall Street comes in two versions. The V2 runs an 11.00 to 1 ratio, and the original is 9.00 to 1 with a bit less oil. Both play around 40 feet, so use the area the pattern gives you and trust your shot.

How to Play the Wall Street Pattern

Straight Bowlers and Strokers

A high ratio at 40 feet is friendly to a straight game. Play direct with steady speed and the pocket is wide open. Repeat your shot and let accuracy carry you.

Mid-Rev Tweeners

Use the room. Swing to the friction outside and let it come back. Misses to the right hold and misses left recover, so trust your target.

High-Rev Crankers

Open up and play your angles. There is plenty of hold inside and friction outside to bring the ball back. Mind over and under reaction as the heads dry out.

 

Difficulty and What to Expect

Wall Street plays easy and high scoring. A high ratio at 40 feet gives a wide pocket and a big margin for error, which makes it a good practice and scoring pattern.
