    Default What are the Pins telling?

    Are there any Videos that instruct on how to interpret and adjustments to make based on leaves with good shots. I found sk8sbowlingreviews Language of the Pins which is helpful to a point. The main changes I have been told are MOVE LEFT, MOVE RIGHT, MOVE FORWARD, MOVE BACK, CHOOSE A DIFFERENT BALL. Another suggestion was to come back next week when the weather is different.
    Thanks

    2 weeks ago I posted that I left close to 17 10 pins..... this week I carried more by releasing earlier and holding the ball with a loser grip. No idea if that was the issue but I only left about 6 this week. I even managed a 207 this week and was stringing a few. I missed the 760.00 strike pot in the last game 6th frame I needed a strike in the 6th 8th and 9th. I had the first 2 games covered.

    After a 3 game set on league night the pins are telling me to go into another sport or practice more. LOL. On some games the pins tell me nothing because I am stringing strikes. On those nights I tell the pins I'll show you.

    Last night at one point I thought my ball was finishing light, but noticed my teammate had left a couple 4 pins in a row, so I made a move inside and started carrying again.

    It's amazing how a little move left or right can make a difference in if you get a strike or end up shooting for a spare. Sometimes a ball change ain't needed.

    If you watch your ball as it exits the pin deck, you don't have to wait until you, or someone else, leaves a 4 pin, a 9 pin, a weak 10, a 4-9 split, a 7-10 split, an 8-10 split, or anything else. Get ahead of it. Don't wait until it gets ahead of you!

    not watching where the ball exits the pin deck doesn't just happen with high handicap bowlers. I have friends who don't even know or want to know this part of the game. Maybe cause they have a 200 plus average already??. And when they bowl on sport, they have know clue. whoever strikes first and the most wins, fall behind the pattern, you're toast and no points for you lol.
