    Now THIS will be useful.

    I leave a poo-ton of washouts.

    And as of today; I am:

    1-2-4-10 = 18% (17/94)
    1-2-10 = 11% (8/67)
    1-2-8-10 = 6% (2/33)
    2-4-10 = 3% (1/27)
    1-2-4-7-10 = 0% (0/1)
    2-7-10 = 0% (0/1)
    1-9-10 = 0% (0/1)
    2-4-8-10 = 0% (0/1)

    Amazing! This is something that the USBC and I actually agree on. Take a look at the video that I posted in conjunction with my article on the Shadow Pin Spare System: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oae3gCQFJBU

    Thanks for this video! I always try to throw a Brooklyn to pick those up. Guess I'll try something different next time out...

    I noticed just (1) 2-4-8-10, how many 2-8-10 have you left during this span?

    Thats what the (1) stands for. I left it once since I began tracking it in the beginning of 2014.

    So no 2-8-10 or 2-10? The reason i'm asking is because that really tells me a lot about your ball motion at the pins. You see the 2-10 and other pins with those more now than in the past because of the bowling balls and the angle they can create. I know you say your rev rate is lower but that extra motion on the back end is what these balls are designed to help with. Even bowlers with a lower rev rate can create that extra pop on the end with the correct layouts on a lot of different balls. I know you have certain drillings you prefer like the rest of us but i believe you would significantly increase your carry percentage with some layouts that tend to flip a little harder on the back. Something that differs from that flat angle that tends to leave flat 10 pins. I'm not saying that flatter motion isn't good sometimes because i like that kind of drilling sometimes as well. You can disregard that if you want, i'm just making a observation and trying to help.
