I am starting to approach all spares with a straight ball, and at times fail to "see" the line from pin to mark to approach. I get the line wrong and miss - "dough!!!!"
Mentally, I place the pins on the approach and put my feet exactly where they are on the pin deck. Note the color of the board that produces the line to spare. Set up focus on my mark downlane and roll straight down that line. (of course this is for area center pin spares. 6 or 6-10 from far left through or just inside the thrid arrow. and 4-7 or 4/7 from a hook ball down 2nd arrow).
If you can't see what you are shooting at in your mind, you are destined to miss. If you are unclear in your mind, your are shooting at nothing and will almost always hit it. :)
