What is the best way to pick up this leave?

- Throw Strike ball and go brooklyn?
- Throw a plastic ball and hit head pin on the right side deflecting ball into 6?

I throw plastic at the left side of the head pin like a regular wash out. I've seen people stand left and throw a straight ball at the right right side of the head pin and let the ball deflect into the 6-10 as well, but the misses tend to give up more count. To me it looks more like comfort. It's hard to make either way.

I would use the same shot as if I had left the 1-2-4-7. Basically a Brooklyn shot that follows the line of pins with the ball hitting each pin in the row. The head pin should get the 6-10

I stand left and throw to the right side of the head pin. I've found that I have had a greater cover percentage as compared to going Brooklyn. It can also depend on your rev rate. Putting more on the ball can cause a sharper angle going Brooklyn and causing the head pin to kick the 10 and not the 6. Plus, If you stand left and pull the ball to the left side of the head pin, you also can cover the spare.

I am in the stand left crowd. Trying to go brooklyn gives you a smaller part of the headpin you can hit to get the 6-10. Straightening your angle will give you a larger margin of error.

Which way you practice consistently at, is the way you should throw at it.

I would take plastic, or kill my wrist and try to attack it like I would a 3-10. I made the mistake one too many times of trying to hook into the 1-6, and actually going between them, taking out nothing.

While it's bad enough to go 5 and out on that, it's a bit embarassing to hook your ball between the baby split and take out nothing in front of everyone else in the league.

BL.

I've had good luck with plastic going at the right side of the head pin. In fact, I think I'm 100% on this spare since switching to a poly ball...3 for 3.

I used to have to hook at it with limited success.

another possibility

I Stand left and throw a straight ball down 5 arrow at the 8 pin spot covering a washout. so should work on that also

Rob Mautners Shadow pin system. See BTM (Sept. 2010) with the Shadow Pin article.

"A ball thrown straight down the fifth arrow at the Shadow 8 pin will throw the headpin at a 30 degree angle to take out the 10 pin, converting this washout nearly 60% of the time."

Norm Duke who confirmed that his usual conversion rate for washouts including the headpin was less than 30 percent, while his conversion rate going straight down the fifth arrow is nearly 60 percent!

You can see it here, theres a clip of it used to pick up the 1-2-10

i stand right and throw it slightly backup at the right side of the headpin. a little unconventional but i seem to be more accurate this way and it works for me.

Plastic, standing on the left side so that my ball covers the 1-6.
I just find it hard to use the headpin to take out both the 6 and the 10.

7 boards right on the approach, same spot on lanes as when trying to strike. Same speed and release as strike. Just simple math.

BTW, best way to make it is not to leave it. Usually that leave means you chicken-winged the first ball. Keep that elbow in.

For the 1-2-4-6-10 I stand left and throw straight at the right side of the head pin and let the ball deflect to the 6-10.

without the 6 pin, I stand left and throw straight at the left side sending the headpin into the 10.

I have a pretty good success rate with these washouts.
