Good point. Hadn't thought of it that way. Last week we have 4 lefties on our pair and the week before had 5. I was the only one out at the 6 board but you are right, we may all have been hitting the same board at the breakpoint. For me it's hard to see the breakpoint cause my ball goes straight until it turns in so hard to tell where it actually makes that turn. To that point, I went last Friday and practiced spares then a game practicing my strike ball. I moved forward on the approach a little and put my slide foot slightly further forward to open my hip and shoulders. I had always in my career stood square at the line. I was able to slow my speed a little and move my feel about 2-3 boards right to get more arc. I was hitting the 10 board at the arrows and getting to about the 7 board at the breakpoint. I did this the first 2 games the other night (168 and 127). The last game I went back to my old approach. I do like the newer style I used but need work on it to get more consistent. That might have been my issue.
On a positive note I was 4/5 on 7 pins and also nailed the 7 on my 7-10 and on my 4-6-7-10. Also covered a 4-7. Probably my best corner pin shooting in a long time. And I usually only leave 2-3 7's a night so definitely left more than usual.
