Lane Pattern: 38 feet. At 22 feet a 5.5 to 1 ratio is projected.
Kegel Comments: This pattern at 38 ft. will probably allow the area from 6-11 to be in play with the surface dictating which area will be better.  Ball reaction will probably be better on higher friction surfaces closer to around 6-7-8 where lower friction surfaces will probably be better from swinging inside the track closer to 9-10-11.  The pattern will not be Sport Compliant but could be difficult based on how much friction there is outside of 7."
