corner pins?

[boatman37]

If you are throwing a ball that hooks slightly, you need, as a lefty, to aim either just left of the 7 pin, or at least at the left most edge of the pin. Obviously you used to be pretty good at hitting corner pins with your strike ball, but you really have to be almost perfect to make it.

Yeah, I'm using a Rhino Black Pearl. It hooks a little but not bad enough for me to miss the 7's. When I say missing to the inside it isn't due to the ball hooking, it's from me not getting it out far enough. Even if it went straight I don't think it would have hit it. I'm probably hitting the 8 head on when trying for the 7. For some reason I have a strong fear of dropping it in the gutter and that is getting in my head. Seems if I just trust the ball and let it go I am better with it.

100% true. When you start thinking and trying to "steer" the ball you're way more likely to cause issues for yourself.
