Did you see oday's Doubles tourney? Jenn Patrick was leaving all sorts of crap on the left lane. To me that indicates the wrong ball or playing the wrong area. The men hit strong carrydown on the left (Angelo, Harman and RAsh), too strong even for their high rev rate. But Jen was just using the wrong ball, as I see it. When she moved to the right lane for the last game, she had a much better ball reaction.
If you're leaving 7 pins and 10 pins and 4 pins on apparently good releases that hit your target, change balls, lines/targets, ball speed. Change something cause what you're doing isn't working.
There's all sorts of reasons to leave a light 7 pin.
A "blower", in my mind, usually indicates you blew the head pin and the 5 pin very strongly into the left side. Usually the 7 pin is not left standing on that hit. 7 pins can be left on high hits or I know I leave them when I came in too light. The head pin comes off the wall and hits only the 4 pin and maybe the 5 pin, leaving the 7 pin standing. "blower" indicates, to me, a lot of power. If the 7 pin is standing, there generally wasn't a lot of power.
