practicing the 10-pin won't help with the 7-pin spare i think.. because i'm quite good at sparing the 10-pin (at least 80-85%) but struggle a lot with the 7-pin.. sometimes overhook into the gutter, sometimes not enough hook..

As a member of an amateur tour (ABT), I can tell you that placing focus on bowling clean is more important than just striking. When you are warming up, make sure and take a few shots at your 10 and 7 pins, even if you have a full rack. This will get you lined up when the shot comes up later. I cannot tell you how many times I have lost a match in tournament play or missed the cut by just 1 spare.

In my opinion, practicing single pins with a full rack also helps you to learn how to focus more. The bigger the distraction at practice the easier the same would be at a tournament or even league night. I love practicing while birthday parties are going on.

hopefully i'll have more clean games.. when i bowl clean games (or near it), i just keep telling myself, the strike will eventually come.. just don't miss for now (when i bowl good and hit the pocket but leave single pins.. sometimes the 8, most of the time the 10-pin but even when tough spares i tell myself that actually)..

Same here. Nothing will help you train your focus more than 5 screaming kids standing on the approach next to you.

I can totally imagine them flying when being pushed.. >_<

if they "fly" backwards, it's bad enough.. but if they "fly" forwards towards the pins, wow that would be some stunt.. but be prepared to be killed by their parents.. lol..
