    Another tip that I picked up from John Anderson on here: first shot aim for the corner pin that gives you the most trouble then pick up the spare. This ensures two throws each frame giving you the most bang for your dollar.
    I also will shoot JUST the corner pins for entire games. First the ten then the seven. The lower the score the better. My lowest ever so far is a 29 I believe.

    nice, but do you add 10 to your score for every gutter?

    Gutter? Who throws gutters? Have you been spying again?
    No, I haven't been doing that. I'm just thankful they come back on the ball return. Just imagine if you had to walk to the back and retrieve your own gutter balls. Nobody would play the twig then.

    I'm feeling guilty. I got the tip from when Nelson Burton Jr. did the "Tip of the Week" as part of the Pro Bowlers Tour telecasts back in the 70s.

    Don't feel guilty. You paid attention and passed that information on and that was great of you. Sharing the possibilities of improving with others is part of what makes this game great.

    I don't really feel guilty, but I don't like to take credit for other people's ideas. The tip of the week was my favorite part of the show. I'd love to see them bring it back with someone like Norm Duke or Brian Voss.

    As long as it's not Randy Pederson. He is so cocky it's annoying. It's like, dude, if you were as good as you think you were how come you're not the all-time winner?
