    Picked up a plastic ball a month ago and it’s taken a bit for me to get used to, but I feel much more comfortable at 10 pins. 56 yo, 14-15 mph, 350ish rev. I find I don’t have to change my release much which has always been an issue for me to be consistent. Good stuff, keep it up 👍

    Standing on 35 and aiming at the 4th arrow for the 10 pin has been pretty good for me for decades, usually without much issue across different oil patterns. On THS, I rarely miss a 4 or 7 by hooking from the right by standing on 10 and throwing pretty much anywhere between 5 and 10 (I typically drift a little left on most of my shots), but other oil patterns get tricky for my 7 pin.

    Great video, great tips. I use a plain old trusty Brunswick T-Zone for my corner pins and the 4 and 6 pins. It goes ramrod straight down the lane and since I'm a low rev/low tilt bowler, I don't have to worry about changing my hand position or my release. I want to eliminate as many variables as possible when shooting those pins, so it's always a safe bet.

    I was a completely straight bowler for most of my life (almost 60 now). I throw a reactive ball that hooks for my first throw now but commonly use my old straight ball that I have had since I was 15 for spares. For the 10 pin I move to the right and throw the ball straight along the edge of the gutter. I usually get it, sometimes that even works on the 6-7-10.đŸ€”đŸ€“đŸ»

    Hey Brad and Kyle, thanks for the great information on making a 10 pin. I used to have a Black Beauty back in Georgia and was very confident with it for making 10 pins. However when I moved to Island City Oregon ( eastern Oregon about 4 hours from Portland and 3 hours the other way to Boise) I left it behind. Boy what a mistake. I’ve tried a few different 10 pin balls and currently using a Storm White Mix. Been pretty good with it so far, but after watching your video about opening your hand to a slight backup release. It makes sense and can’t wait to go and practice it before my next league night.

  • @kennethterrell7409
    @kennethterrell7409 Pƙed 5 měsĂ­ci

    I am now retired from bowling. My prime years were 1980 to 2000. It was a different game back then. I had been anchor on my college team for three years (shout out to my buddy Jeff Bellinger, who went from out college ranks to win a couple of titles) and I did get some decent coaching, but mostly my game depended on practice, practice, practice. That is the only way I was ever able to maintain consistency in my release and good timing in my approach. Both are crucial to being a good spare shooter, too. In my day, when there were 3 or 4 fewer strikes/game, spares were absolutely critical and I tend to think we were better spare shooters than today - mainly out of necessity. And spot on accuracy was essential too, coupled of course with good repetition. It was so much harder to turn around and make up for an open with a three bagger. Differences in equipment, conditions, and rules meant that averages were probably about 20-40 pins lower than they are today. (Believe it or not, up until 1992 the American Bowling Congress ONLY allowed flat surfacing. That is the oil had to be a uniform coating across the lane. As a result of that rule, and arcane equipment, A 190-average bowler in 1985 would be a 230-average league bowler today. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, of the 50,000+qualified bowlers in my metropolitan area, the top ten bowlers would average in the 190s. Only three or four times in those 20 years did anyone average 200. And we had some pretty darn good bowlers - a bunch bowled regionals (including moi) and a few bowled on the tour for awhile. So we are talking some very good bowlers in the upper echelon. But the long-winded point is that I believe that the challenges made us better spare shooters. We had to practice spares (especially single pins) and bowl competitively at least three or four times each week to maintain that ability. If you didn't pick up 90% of your single pins, you could not average 190. The lack of strikes just took away so much scoring.

  • @williamh1973
    @williamh1973 Pƙed rokem +1

    I use a super weak wrist position (broken wrist). on dry lanes sometimes this is not enough for me because I do not have the flexibility in my wrist and arm to throw a perfect straight ball. So now I added a what some people call suit casing the ball with the weak wrist position. I don't miss the ten pin at all anymore. great video. Thank you for your time.

    • @TheRealInky
      @TheRealInky Pƙed rokem +1

      I didn't even realize people shoot 7s without hook. I always shoot with hook and the hardest part is just trusting yourself/your shot, I think. Never seems like it'll make it all that way, to me...
      I struggle with cross-lane straight-ish 10s way more than I do hooking for 7s.
      The way I go for 7s is to move about 6-8 boards right with my feet and shoot my target. 10s, 15-20 boards left or all the way, and shoot somewhere between 3rd-4th arrow. Also, on 10s, I will tuck my index finger and exaggerate my pinky flair a bit.

    Big change for me, besides learning how to get the ball on the lane earlier and on the left, has been changing my finger position. Moving my index finger closer to my middle finger allows me to throw straighter and not worry about over-hooking and missing spares on the right.

    When I found out I had 25% to work with I switched from my reactive ball to a plastic ball. Before I was around 40% conversions on 10 pins, now I’m around 80%. Once you realize you have 25% to work with it becomes much easier. Just stay behind the ball and throw it hard. When you throw a reactive ball, you have to play the lane condition and if you are having a night where you are struggling to find the pocket and accuracy, throwing that as your spare ball would be a bad idea. Instead use a plastic and you take the lane condition out of the equation. When you take the lane out of the equation, you literally have roughly 25% to miss your mark. You don’t get that with a reactive ball.

Do you guys ever find yourselves needing to adjust a board or 2 on some of the more extreme oil pattern lengths/volume? ie a 35 foot pattern or a 48 foot pattern? I usually creep a board or two left or right in this case even throwing a straight plastic ball. Not sure if that a mental thing or if the oil volume and pattern length can impact a good "straight" ball enough to justify a move. Thanks

    You would be benefited by practicing the 10 pin via second arrow or to the right when you have small centers that have the wall right next to the last board on the lane. Either that or you have to learn how to kick the wall consistently before the release

  • @jareds3834
    @jareds3834 Pƙed rokem

    I think this is good advice as a rule of thumb, but factoring in the oil pattern is a huge deal for shooting left side spares as a right handed bowler. If you're on a house shot, you have WAY more margin for error if you hook it and use the oil to your advantage as long as you're lined up correctly. Terrible idea to stand in the same place and hook it across a variety of oil patterns/houses, but on the same house shot every week, I'd actually recommend it.

    When I learned to bowl in the early 1960's, I was told to point my feet at the spare, and walk toward the spare. Can you explain your footwork when shooting the 10 pin, and do you keep your right shoulder open as you do for a strike? Do you walk toward the spare? How do you swing your arm correctly if your feet are pointing straight down the 36 board, for example? I hope you will respond to these questions. Your answers can help a lot of players. Thanks.

    Should just be a straight line from your shoulder to the pin.
    1) setup with hand completely under ball
    2) move index finger in and pinky out
    3) swing with relaxed straight arm
    4) follow through with pinky to the ceiling
    Ball will roll straight ahead. After getting used to it, can pick up spares without using anything but a rough look at the pin.
    What's really fun is throwing strikes with a straight ball off of the first few boards.

  • @overnightdelivery
    @overnightdelivery Pƙed rokem

    It's by far the easiest to approach from the left side of the lane and angle your shot to the right. The only thing that makes it a little tricky is the ball return being uncomfortably close on your left as you approach. I personally slow down my normal strike approach, as you don't need nearly as much power or finesse to just throw the ball straight. You just need to focus on your speed and having a smooth release right at the 10 pin. You only need enough speed to keep the ball from hooking back away from the pin. The only time I really miss a 10 pin is when it's a 100% mental mistake. Which can easily happen in a pressure situation.

    I rarely miss single pins anymore, once i started using the KISS system, but last league night, on my last game, i missed the 10 pin 3 times in a row, which was super weird. Still managed to get a 200+ game on it, but i could have been so much better.
    I practice sometimes on hitting the 10 pin on 5 different places, like light on the left side, light on the right side (ball skids it and goes into gutter immediatly), full front, and medium left and medium right.
    So when it comes to boards, that is like board 8, board 1, board 3, board 5 and board 2. I set up my camera to film it, to watch later. Also making notes on what board to hit on the arrow, and where my PN is. By doing this, you also learn where to stand when there is a split like 6,7,10 or 6,8,10 and what to hit to make that split. I don't do this just for 10 pins, but all single pins. But yeah, as a righthander, throwing on the right side of the lane, the 10 is the one i leave standing the most

      You say you rarely miss single pins anymore and that's great. Here's a suggestion, though. Try actually keeping track of all your single pins and those made (or missed). If you are making 90% over a season, you may be tour ready. Our perceptions can be tricky, but a 90% rate over a long period is exceptionally good, even for the pros

      Ya bet. There are spares that we leave a lot (2-4-5 and the 3-6-10 come to mind) and can be tricky if you don't keep track of tendencies where we go wrong. League conditions today are easy enough that the ball reaction should be pretty consistent week-to-week. Did I jerk up at the line and pick the 2-4-5? Did I just make a bad shot? Did the ball slide too far cross-lane at the 3-6-10? You know what I'm talking about. Without knowing anything about our performance history, each spare shot is a guess. And practice. I used to practice just spares. Had the front desk set the machine to just load the 2-4-5 twenty times, for example.
      And congrats on the 88%. That's getting pretty good. Maintain your concentration and try to get that north of 90% and you'll see your average go up 3-5 pins. @@gusk

    Could people use the 3-6-9 positioning? I can throw with reactive or plastic at the ten pin and on Sundays I bowl 2 leagues at a time. (One sanctioned other unsanctioned) My “main” league I use my spare ball and the other league I do not. I Make about 85-90% both leagues by jumping left 9 boards, (3 boards per pin to the opposite side) small sight adjustment, and take my hand out of it. (little backup when throwing reactive.)

    I think you guys should make a video on how to consistently throw the ball straight.
    I’ve been shooting my tens how Brad demonstrated for awhile and have been pretty consistent doing so. But I’ve had multiple friends who just can’t throw the ball straight; they get stuck in muscle memory of throwing the ball with hook.
    I have also found that following through with my arm straight up directly towards the ten pin helps tremendously in staying consistently accurate.

    Best thing I ever heard, especially with spares
 if we had eyes in our shoulders, we would all be better bowlers. I don’t use a spare ball and I’m decent at flattening my hand to pick up spares because of that. When it comes to my spare shot , I try to think from my shoulder. I will literally hold my arm out in front of me pointing to the target when I set up on the approach to make sure my setup is decent. I’m not the best bowler, but my spare accuracy is much better just from that thought process. Hope this can help someone, especially if you are a straighter player or bowl straight shot

    @donsmith40 Pƙed rokem

    I've killed my shot for years using my strike ball, my tip is to have practice sessions shooting at least 20 to 40 corner pins, get the work done, so you don't have to think about it when bowling your games. People are different, so looking farther out or looking shorter may work better, also, (and I've seen this for years,) someone leaves a corner, and because of tension of leaving it, they don't have the same swing or footwork, lol, timing is all off. It should look exactly like your strike body movement is. Lastly, some try to throw fireballs at them, like the pro's do, that might work, but realistically it throws the amatuer's ball off line, more so than not.
