Spare Ball Question

[Amyers]

Amyers, could you clarify? Did you mean hitting the front pin on the same side you hook from, not the opposite? A righty, hooks left, so hit the right side of the pin, seems to make sense.

I have tried to hit a double wood spare straight on with my spare ball and am just not accurate enough. Miss slightly left or right and the pin goes flying off in the other direction, leaving the back pin. I like your suggestion of hooking it into the side and will try that next time.

You are correct for a right hander you would line up to hit the front pin on the right side. A hit on the right side should take out both pins pull it a little you still hit dead on and pick it up. Maximizes your miss room. I very rarely miss one of these anymore. I guess what I meant in the original post is opposite from the direction the ball is hooking.
