Spare bowling = Putting for dough
« on: March 28, 2008, 12:27:41 AM »
Strikes = Driving for show

242, 245, 212 with Twisted.  20x, 20x, 258....22x, 23x, 22x... with Fury...  18x, 18x, 245 with Twisted & TE...  Two different houses... Tons of missed spares.. 9th and 10th frames open...  Not a single clean series.  Will someone please teach me how to make a spare?  Brunswick TZone SUX! Does Lane #1 make a spare ball?    

I am missing tons of left side single-pin spares (I'm a righty).  I'm starting to get a phobia.  Should be the easiest thing in the world, just throw right at it like horseshoes, but I'm missing 7-pins and 4 pins on the LEFT!  I don't really want to hook my ball at my spares, but I might have to go back to that.  At least I'll look cool if I miss it.

Ok.. thanks for listening.  I think I'm better now.

The key to spares, esp single pin spares is to go straight at it and you dont have to throw the ball hard at it. Next is change where you stand and shoot becuase if your getting nervous or having a phobia about a single pin spare there is a big problem. Even moving one or two boards from where you are currently standing makes a big difference. Its a little different look and it will change you mental out look. The key is to take the lane out of play. Stay straigh up the back of the ball and finish your shot to the target and you will never go wrong.
