The past couple of weeks, I have had several 3 game sets where I've missed hitting the pocket once or twice in 3 games, and gone with 1 or two opens and shot 585-590. That means that I'm shooting a heck of a lot of spares.
10 pins, 4 pins, 7s, 8s, even an occasional 9.
The 10s are ring or weak. The 7s - same thing. This is going on while all around me are tripping 4s, using messengers to carry corners, hitting on "1-2-3 pocket" nose hits, etc, etc.
There I sit - camped out on the solid 1-3 pocket, good for 9 almost all the time - sometimes, of course, leaving the solid 7-10.
I've tried switching balls, switching hand positions, making parallel moves, etc, etc - NOTHING seems to be working for me.
Does ANYONE out there have any suggestions??? (other than to join a no tap league?)

Thanks for the feedback.
I have read the other thread regarding this topic, and that thread has digressed into discussing temper tantrums after "shoulda been a 260" comments.

How bad was my carry last night? When I finally threw a double, THE OPPOSING TEAM CHEERED MORE THAN MY OWN TEAM!!!!!!!!!

And one member of that other team said - after tripping an outrageous 4 pin - that if he knew how he was carrying "all that crap" he'd be glad to tell me, cause I was throwing the ball well enough to deserve the help.

Tonight is a new attitude. If I see the same thing, I'm gonna quit the scratch leagues and join a no tap league.
