spare shooting
« on: February 22, 2008, 12:04:13 AM »
when using a plastic ball at your spares  do you use the same type of release you would use on your strike ball, knowing that the plastic ball would not hook or do you use a broken (looser) release for that type of shot.

I thought the whole idea of using a plastic spare ball was to be able to use your normal release and speed and not worrying about hook.


Unless you have a high ball speed and few revs OR you're on a flood, plastic still hooks, 2 - 7 boards.

I try to throw it straighter than my strike ball. Hand position and rev rate are different.

I only rotate my hand on the 3-10 baby split or the 3,6,10 otherwise kill the hand same grip as strike ball. I convert about 80 plus percent of the 3-10's doing this, it gives the ball about 2-3 boards of hook left and then deflects to the 10 pin.
