    Default a good way to practice....

    my wife and practice a lot and we came up with bowling scotch doubles with our selves. it makes it fun at practicing and a good learning tool. i lead off , then she throws the secound ball either at a spare
    or if i strike,then she throws and then maybe i have to pick up her spare.

    Sounds like a fun way to practice. I usually practice by myself. My normal routine is to shoot corner pins on the first ball, Then aim for the pocket. Second game I rotate targets, i.e. first frame the seven pin, second frame the 4 pin, third frame the 2 pin, and so on.
    Third game I move targets. I start as far out side as I can and then move one board in after each strike.
    If I feel like goofing around I'll put on alley type shoes and alternate right-handed to left-handed and back, or I'll rotate through what ever balls I brought with.

    We used to have an unsanctioned scotch doubles league back in the late 80's
    and it was a lot of fun to bowl in and made for some interesting spare practice.
