    The fact that Bowl1820 has the amount of links, articles, files saved is impressive, but not nearly as impressive as being able to find it so readily. I imagine a full wall of card catalogs or duey decimal system (whatever used to be used in libraries)...

    Whats weird is the most common leaves don't include 5-pins. It includes the usual bugaboos of mine like the 10-pin and 6-10. But no single 5-pins or 3/4 buckets. I leave a fair amount of 5-pins and 2-4-5 3/4 buckets…apparently the pros not so much.

    5 pin and the Bucket.

    As they say "No drive, No five" Your ball is deflecting too much.

    Going by past information it's most likely the ball isn't getting into a good roll before going into the pins.. Too much loft, too much speed, the balls not getting a chance to read the lane properly.

    The 5 pin, as your average improves, will be left less and less. We joke around with each other on our teams when someone leaves a 5 pin. We tell the person that leaves it to throw their purse at it next time. Needless to say, we hardly ever leave a 5 pin, I have left 3 in 123 games(I forgot my purse those days).

    One time last season I was playing close to third arrow but very direct. Generally the ball would make its move right at the end and hit really hard. I got one in a little and also missed it at the bottom. I left the 5-10.

    I tell them… we put two finger holes in the ball for a reason…
