Iceman hates this
Not sure why,,, but some REAL problems with picking up this PIN here lately? Its Kicking my rear, in regards to scores. I never miss the 7 pin, but that FRICKEN 10 pin is eating my breckfast here lately.... IT"S DRIVNING ME NUT"S!!
I use to be either on, or off in regards to 10 pins.... then it went to 50/50,,, now ,,,, NOW,,, I am lucky to get ONE!!!! Its killing my scores, and average! A good looking pocket hit, then miss the 10 pin spare!!!!!!!! NO EXCUSE for it...... Iceman needs your prayers!!!!!! Or send cash to Iceman, North Pole, 10, north Iceberg street, 101010!!!
Don't walk on Thin Ice!

Lol, last night I went 8 for 8 in 10 pin spares, first night I've ever picked it up 100%. Sure wish I knew what I did differently last night
Feelin ya Ice.
Thursday league I had 5 single pin spares. 3, 4, 6, and 2 10s. I went 3/5 missing both 10s.
I don't know what it is. But even at the psychological level…if I see that 10-pin (versus the 7-pin)…I'm feeling like I'm gonna miss it before I ever get on the approach.
Maybe plastic is the answer. But the "way" I'm missing them…so, so far off…I can't blame the resin.

I agree,,, when I am ON, ( in regards to hitting that Fricken 10 pin, I am ON)! Like you, I don't have a clue as to why some nights I get most of them, and others, and more recently I have been having problems! I only know one thing for sure, when 10 pins are a problem, it SUCKS!!

Perhaps a plastic spare ball will resolve the predicament.
My bowling balls include:
Brunswick Brute Strength, Brunswick Mastermind Genius, DV8 Endless Nightmare, DV8 Diva, DV8 Diva Pearl, DV8 Marauder Mutiny, & Brunswick White Viz-A-Ball spare ball
The 10 pin!!! Mostly mental, I think people over think it and end up missing. One night I hit every 10 pin left except the one I left in the 10 frame. I completely over thought it. I knew I missed as soon as I released. Plastic spare ball are good for being consistent but you can not let the 10 pin beat you mentally or you will most likely miss it.

ICEMAN, 10 pins used to be my nemesis pin. A year ago, even with a plastic spare ball, I was not very accurate at picking that pesky pin up. The last year, I developed what works for me and that is to stand to the left dot on approach at 30 board and focus on 3rd arrow 15 board and deliver the ball as straight as possible. This past year, I have picked it up 89% of the time. I am pretty pleased with that improvement and it shows with my average increase.
