    Hmmm.

    I don't know if that change makes it as automatic as she makes it sound. Getting a 1-pin or 2-pin to cross all the way over and hit the 10-pin isn't easy, no matter what ball you use.

    One "possible" strategy would be to treat a 2-4-7 as a single 10-pin...clip the 2 as you go by, knocks the left side over like dominos and deflects into the 10. But thats not very automatic either.

    You should go to Rob's site and read the article on the Shadow pin spare system. What they are doing here is described in it.

    Trying to deflect the ball off the 2 pin and into the 10 pin would a lot harder.

    From the article:
    A ball thrown straight down the fifth arrow at the Shadow 8 pin will throw the headpin at a 30 degree angle to take out the 10 pin, converting this washout nearly 60% of the time.

    I switched to shooting like this and the coverage percentage has been higher.

    Some use that strategy when the 1 pin is present, but deflecting off the 2 pin be much harder do to how much the ball would have to deflect to get the 10 pin.

    I have no opposition to giving it a shot. Lord knows I leave enough washouts. Might raise my average 20 pins.

    According to Norm Duke, the percentage for picking up washouts by hooking the ball is about 30%. When you go straight up the 5th arrow with a plastic ball, the percentage jumps to 59%.

    They didn't say in the video, but that's what they were shooting at.

    See post #3 above about Rob's Shadow pin spare system.

    It makes more sense especially considering how angular resin balls are. I haven't left too many, fortunately, but throwing my white dot from the right has converted maybe a third of them. I'll give the left side a shot next time. Thank for sharing this.
