Well tonight I went and practiced and didnt do bad but did watch everything when my ball hit and seems like I am leaving mostly flat 10s when I do leave them...
I have had league night bowling times when I would leave quite a few 7 pins flat or ringing. I am a south paw. The thing that is maddening is the shot looked good in the pocket. When I get one on my first ball I usually turn around and looking at the floor say a few expletive deleteds. Church league remember. I wish I could find a way to adjust for it.

Your hitting light, move half a board to a board left or right (depending on if you where high or low) and you should hit like a truck.Originally Posted by Keithalw

Before you make adjustments based on what the 3, or 6 pin does you have to consider what the 1, 2, 4 and 7 pin does. On a true pocket shot, the 1, 2, 4 and 7 pin follow a domino pattern. If the pins are bouncing off the kickbacks to carry the corner pins, you aren't really in the pocket. Whichever way you are off the pocket would dictate your first adjustment.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I know when I see it but couldn't think how to properly word it. The difference between being in the pocket and so close that you just thought you were in the pocket. I kept telling people that the pins on the left will tell you if you're in the pocket and got strange looks. Domino pattern never crossed my mind. Dang, getting old sucks!
