    would help to know what type of shot you throw, a straight ball non fingertip? a fingertip ball with some hook...etc... If you throw a light weight non hooking ball odds are you will hit the head pin and deflect and leave the 5 or the 5-8.

    Lou, he throws a "chest pass" style 2 handed shot that goes mostly in the middle of the lane.

    chest pass in the middle of the lane should get the 5 every time, also it will leave it a lot...

    I am curious on how you are leaving 5 pins if you have lot's of revs? Unless you are crossing over.

    If you read all of his posts here and in the other forums (he's 2handedvolcano on ballreviews and BrunswickKing170 on bowlingcommunity)

    you'll find he's using his "Rugby" style chest pass to throw a 9-10 pound plastic ball down the middle of the lane. The revs he may have on the ball are about meaningless.

    See his video here https://vimeo.com/180988446

    Because If that light ball goes left or right of the head pin just a little, it will deflect and that deflection will typically leave the 5 pin. Because the ball will not drive in to take out the 5 and the rest of pins will most likely get kicked out around it not into it.

    ok now I see, I don't read other boards. and now kind of remember the video he posted a while back. Just didn't know it was a 10lb ball. My opinion hasn't changed though..just throw a strike ball at the 5

    With all those 230s you claim to have a 5 pin shouldn't be a problem. Just throw your strike shot.
