10 pin question
« on: April 18, 2009, 03:13:42 AM »
Just curious to see where you are stand and aim for when shooting the 10 pin. This is directed towards people who throw a plastic ball at the 10 and are right handed.

I stand with my instep of my left shoe splitting the 35 board and target 18 at the arrows.

depends upon the lane. on the left lane i place my left foot in the middle of the gutter and throw the ball at about the 24th board. on the right lane i have to deal with the ball return so i press myself up against the ball return and throw the ball over the 4th arrow.

Feet at 33 and target 15 and stay completely up the back of the ball throwing it straight.

i stand with left foot 9-9 1/2 boards to the left of the last dot and aim for the middle arrow. unless the lanes are bone dry, you can almost throw your strike ball shot, i use a blue dot.

Left foot over 30-31, ball splitting the down lane range finders on Proanvilane. On spares I also move 2-3 feet back on the approach for a touch more speed.

stand on 38 and throw over 23 fast, if theres oil, if its dry I roll it over the thumb so it doesnt hook, I have high revs(2 handed) so the spare ball hooks a lot if I dont take hand out.

Tip of my right shoe on the 30th board, broken back wrist, thumb turned far to the right so that the ball is almost held like a conventionally drilled piece. Aimed at 16 at the arrows.

This is quite straight, but some local houses have broad ball returns that prevent deeper positions on the approach, so I settled on this option as standard strategy.
