Assume a person (right hander) gets what looks like great pocket hits, but is always left with a very solid ten pin.

What, if any adjustments can be made to carry this persistent 10 pin?

Hi,

Been bowling for close to 30 yrs and seen alot of changes in equiptment,lane patterns,etc...The easiest ballreaction to see is coming behind the headpin for more of a flat 10 pin, but a ball driving and leaving a solid 10 pin means the ball is starting to lose "flip",energy,etc and is actually in an early form of rolling out and not easy to see...best solution is to move in deeper and watch the ball "skid" more down the lane and watch it "flip" at the very backend for a higher percentage of carry. Just be careful of not throwing to fast to come behind the headpin

There are 3 thing that you can do:

1. move back about 3" to get the ball into a roll earlier.
(I can't do this one as I am at the back of the approach

)

2. move 2 boards right to get you in to the dry sooner assuming you
are not playing a flat condition.

3. Change hand position.
I go from starting with my hand under the ball, to turning it
to the right(counterclockwise) 45 degrees. This helps me get the
ball farther down the lane before it makes a move coserving energy.
