« on: May 24, 2005, 07:12:34 AM »
Where i bowl on saturday night they pull 3 tickets for a shot.I have seen all kind of different ways to shoot it.How would you? Whats the best by the numbers shot? 50% down the middle? 50% curve?

The best was I saw was to hit as a righty between the 3 a 6 with a slow curve barely hitting the 3 pin.  But I'ts mostly luck and down the middle is useless.

17#???  Typo or known illegal ball?

As dogman said, the best percentage seems to be a late breaking hook hitting light on the 3.  Pretend you're shooting a 3-4-6-7-9-10.

Everyone knew the ball was 17lb.You could use any ball you had.This jackpot shot is during blacklight bowling so no rules on balls.

Last week a guy used a 6lb ball around 20MPH came in on the right side and only left the 7 pin.
