    Default 10 pin?

    recently, ive been learning to throw the hook. when i throw it, i can consistently hit the pocket and it looks to me as if it hits flush, but about 30% of the time, the 10 pin will still be standing.

    anything that can be done to prevent this?

    Thanks in advance.

    I've been told that hanging a ten pin means your timing is off. Move your approach up or back by 1/2 an inch.

    those are all great idea and all.. but the best way is to pay the machanic to stand behind your set with a black stick and just tap it down for you ... lol never have to worry about the 10 pins again... unless of course hes off or you go to a different center... than please refer to the above advice..ha..
