Seeing all of that open space to the left and right make my ball either skid in the oil or not get over there.
Will expand arsenal after I polish my spares.

Put blinders on your ball so it doesn't notice...

Pretend your face is on the five pin, you should have no problem knocking the pin down.

Pretend it's the head pin?  Oh wait... Same problem! ;)

Nevermind.

Take a deep breath, FOCUS on target, miss it anyway...

(I have no advice)
