First off What I'm doing might not work for any body else.
My basic shot is to start with the right edge of my left shoe on the left edge of the first board left of the third dot on the approach. I walk towards my target which is the second arrow. This will almost alway bring me near to the 1-3 pocket. Though may not always be a strike. To hit a 1 ,3 or 5 pin. I can count on this covering them. If I need to cover a 4, 7 or 8 pin i place my left foot 1 board to the right of first dot and again roll at the second arrow. If I need to cover the 2-4-5 I place my left foot in the center between those spots.
All of that is covered with my strike ball.
Most of my problems come shooting the 10 pin . I place my left foot 2 boards left of the fifth dot and walk straight up the approach and throw at 3 rd arrow.I tend to hit 50%.
I have not yet thrown enough at the 6 or 9. To try the strike ball yet.
As far as strikes go I have been working on moving in some to try and improve carry which does seem to help some.
