Ring ten i back up three inches on the approach
Flat ten move forward three inches on the approach
Four pin move left 1 board or 1/2 board
Seven pins  move left three boards with my feet and target in a hair a deeper but ONLY when leaving alot of them

Is there an adjustment for the 8-10 ?

Drives me nutz.  Rarely get 7-10, and I just shrug it off when I do.  But 8-10 can happen more than once a game and infuriates me.  ---always seems to happen when I've been stringing strikes. Never when I was already bowling badly.

I can almost FEEL one coming before I even deliver the ball, so was wondering if there's something I can do to lessen the chances of leaving it.

If you're stringing strikes and feel one coming, stop before you even start. Step back and take a breath. It sounds a little like you're rushing your shot, or just getting excited.

Beyond that, the 8-10 can be a speed issue, throwing the ball too hard and it doesn't have enough roll to continue through the deck. Or, if it was a good release, step back on the approach, or maybe a half board to a board right to give it more finish room.

For me, if I ring 10s constantly, I move right to get more into friction
Flat 10s I move left to get more into oil
If I leave a 4 and I know I hit my marks, I make a 2/1 or 4/2 move left depending on how heavy I entered the pocket.
I really don't leave 7s.  I stone many more 8s than ring 7s.

Probably is a little of both.   I am getting a little excited if I am on a string, but definitely can see that I am probably throwing the ball a bit too hard.

Could be why I think I feel the 8-10 coming on. Maybe what I'm really "feeling" is the gradual increase in speed as the frames are going by.

Next time I'll make a concious effort to slow down a bit.  Thanks!

To me the question is lane condition specific. THS play different than sport conditions and not even all THS conditions are the same.

Take a 4 pin.

On certain conditions the move is to left a board and keep your target the same. But on many of the THS conditions I bowl on that simply gets the ball into the dry early and the ball hooks more. So on that my normal move is 2 and 1 or even 3 and 2 at times. Depending on how deep the puddle is in the middle and how dry the outside is.

10 pins are generally a 1/2 board moves left or right depending on type. But sometimes I just try to slow down or increase my speed a little to get a slightly different angle into the pocket.

7 pins are generally not much of a worry unless I'm swishing the them then you have to make a move to get ball to face up higher in the pocket. And I generally try to get lined up to jam my strikes and don't stay in the swish zone.

8-10 the ball isn't rolling when it gets to the pocket. Lots of reasons, speed, line, rolling out, jerked into the oil, missed the release, etc.
