Tip of the Week
Today's Tip of the Week is going to be about Spare Shooting.
There are a lot of different ways to make your spares, but there are even more ways to miss them.
This week we are going to talk about a spare shooting system that can be modified and adapted to any style of game and any condition you may face.
If you were to leave the 10-Pin (for a right hander), you would want to move as far left on the approach that you can and look at the middle arrow (20th board).
When shooting the corner pins, you also want the the ball to take out the pin nearest to it.
So when shooting a 10-pin, you would want the ball to hit the 6-pin on the right side.
When shooting a 7-pin, you would want the ball to take out the 4-pin on the left side.
Whether you're left or right handed, this is a great technique for shooting spares. It widens your margin of error and gives you more of an opportunity to cut down on the open frames.
If you were to leave the 7-Pin (for a left hander), you would want to move as far right on the approach that you can and look at the middle arrow (20th board).
When shooting the 2-pin or 3-pin, you want the ball to travel as straight as possible.
So when shooting a 3-pin, you would want the ball to be able to hit either, the center, left or right side. To do this, you will go to your 10-pin position and move your feet six (6) boards to the right.
When shooting a 2-pin, you would want the ball to be able to hit either, the center, left or right side. To do this, you will go to your 7-pin position and move your feet six (6) boards to the left.
