I started to hit the 7 Pin! (lefty)

[martinezsam2495]

I got it by hooking the ball that opposite way,
Since I'm lefty, I naturally hook it to the right, but I hooked it towards the left, and BAM, 7 pin was gone!

Where were you standing and what mark did you roll over or target?

BTW, good job!

[martinezsam2495]

I stood at the 25~ 32 board mark,
around 5th dot, throw it towards the 4th arrow, and it hooks into the 7 pin,

So you don't know exactly where you were standing or where exactly your target was. How do you plan on repeating that success then? Did you take notes and write the info down in the notebook in your bag?

no that's how many boards my feet take,
my left foot starts at the 25, and right foot ends at the 32, just aim for 4th arrow, and I should get it,

Seems like what you are doing is throwing the ball with loess of a curve than your normal throw to stand that close to the center of the lane. Where do you stand for your first/strike ball? Basically I'm wondering how far to the right you are moving to get the 7 pin compared to your original start position. How consistent where you getting the 7 pin?

My strike shot is at the 4th dot, or 20th board aiming at 2nd arrow, now for the 7 pin I just move one dot to the right, and hook it the opposite way, out of 3 chances I had with the 7 pin, 2/3 were knocked down, the 3rd one just wobbled but that was my fault, I tried throwing it from the 6th dot.

What board is your right foot on when you start?

[martinezsam2495]

What board is your right foot on when you start?

32, like that's how I have my feet positioned

[billf]

Am I understanding your correctly, that you are NOT standing with your feet together? Your left big toe is on 25 and your right big toe is on 32?

[martinezsam2495]

that;s how many boards my feet take, no I mean from my left big toe to my right pinky toe

[billf]

Sam, the board you start and finish on is determined by the big toe of your sliding foot. Now that you have explained what you meant it makes a lot more sense.

[martinezsam2495]

oh, I didn't know that.. so I'll recheck my standing position, hopefully I go hit the lanes today. :]

I don't like going by the toe. The toe of the shoe is round so unless I mark it some how I could be in a little different spot each time. I always go by the inside edge of my shoe at the ball of my right foot. Say if I'm going to aim at the 6 board with my Hyroad, I'll stand with that edge of my right foot even with the left edge of board 12. If I were aiming at the first arrow, the shoe edge would be in the center of the ten board.
