10 pin?
« on: October 27, 2003, 03:24:52 AM »
I have been using my Wow Pearl and lately i have been leaving a lot of 10 pins, normally ringing tens. It seems like the ball is going into the pocket perfect and I still leave the ten pin. The ball isnt rolling out, nor deflecting, Have anyone else had that problem with this ball? I have made all kinds of adjustments, it may not be the ball, i think its just probably a little problem that im doing but i just wanted to know if anyone else had this problem with this ball.

It's not the ball's fault for leaving
10 or 7 pins. It's all about entry angle
into the pocket.Try moving a board or two
left or right.Try moving your starting
position on the approach three inches
foward or back. Those moves will change the
angle that the ball enters the pocket.
The more I practice,the luckier I get.

Sometimes the equipment we choose to bowl with on any given day just doesn't match up with the conditions.  For the most part no matter how much you adjust, you won't be able to prevent the single pin leaves.  

It's also possible, mentioned by other people here, that the drilling layout doesn't match up with the ball for the type of condition you're bolwing on as well.

Just like Effen10 said, make as many movements as possible to avoid leaving single wood, if that doesn't work switch equipment.  If you continue to leave single wood then consider trying a new drilling layout, or purchase another ball to match up with the conditions better.

In the old days people used to cut wood with axes.....................now and days...............they just have Executioners do it for them!

Pin_Krusher IS a serious threat to modern day bowling wood as we know it today.

The is absolutely no reason in the bowling world to blame a ball for leaving a 10 pin. You throw it; therefore, you are responsible for what happens. If you've left 7 ten pins in one game .... I cannot imagine that every adjustment you made did not work. You had to have made at least 5 separate adjustments in those 7 ten pins.

Some suggestions:
Move feet outside,
move feet forward,
add rotation to your release (if your fingers normally finish at 4:30, finish at 3:30 or 4:00 to add more backend),
use the same ball with the pin at 3.5" from PAP instead of 4" from PAP,
Sand your ball slightly fo rearlier hook,
move your target closer to the foul line for earlier hook,
move your target further outside into the dry so it will hook more.

If none of these methods work, take up crocheting.
