    Default How many different starting feet positions do you use?

    Let's assume your ball is rolling well. You don't need to adjust due to lane conditions, how many different starting feet positions do you use from your strike shot to spares?
    Just curious.

    1) Strike shot - Left on 30
    2) 10 pin - Far left past last dot
    3) Right side spares left on last dot left side(30)
    4) 7 pin - Right foot on 5 board
    5) Left side spares besides 7 left foot on 20 board
    In my bag: Roto Grip UFO, Roto Grip Hyper Cell Fused and Roto Grip Hustle hyb

    I have a lot since i shoot straight at most spares. It's basically the 3-6-9 system using the third arrow as the target. So it's one position for each key pin, and a slight (1-1/2 board) move should I need to hit between two adjacent pins. Oddly enough I use the same position for each pin whether shooting right or left handed.

    Right side spares I target 18 with plastic so
    10 pin left foot on 35
    6 pin " " " 30
    3 pin " " " 25
    9 pin, 3-10, 3-9, 3-6-9-10 I shoot as a 6 pin using a reactive ball

    1, 5 and 8 are strike ball shots

    2, 4 and/or 7 pin left foot and 8 and cross 15 at the arrows with plastic.

    7-10 I stand left foot on 20, cross 22 using urethane with a ton of speed and revs (7 pin bounces off corners of backboards and hopefully hits 10)
