This season I've been having issues trying to pick up these two spare combos.

I'm 60% in picking up the 3 6 10 (6 of 10)
I'm 20% in picking up the baby split. (1 of 5) after 36 weeks.

These leaves were never an issue before, I could pick these up easy. Even if there was a different split combo with the 3 6 10, I'd pick those up majority of the time.

Now when I do leave these combos, mentally I am screwed. I don't know if I should pick up the spare ball or the strike ball.

This holiday break I'll spend more time at the 24 hour alley for their "all you can bowl" and practice.

I know some use their strike line and hook at it too. And others stand left and go straight to the 3 6 with a plastic. Also, I know of a bowler who stands right and rolls with a plastic end over end - she's right handed.

I'll work on it and hopefully find something that would work. In the past, any right side leaves were not a problem using plastic and the 4th arrow system.....

3,6,10 I am 5 for 9 or 55% and twice I left the 3 standing.

Baby splits just 2 for 6 or 33%

The 6,10 is my killer....13 for 26 or 50% and leaving the 6 pin only 8 times using plastic.

So yes, it has me big time though I have been much better the last 7 weeks

yeap see ya there

3-10 and 3-6-10 can be nasty combinations, especially on house patterns.  I never throw my strike ball at them.  The key is to keep your ball away from (inside ) the dry hook area as long as possible, even when throwing plastic.
