Leaving a pocket stone 9 pin for Righties
« on: March 12, 2005, 07:59:01 AM »
Hey Guys!  My friend Kevin who I bowl with Tuesday nights
saw me throw a Pocket 9 pin which I stoned by the way, said
I should throw the damn ball away.  I know that Right handers
stone 8 pin but a 9 pin.  Only Lefties throw those stone 9 pins
what do you guys think?  Thanks!

Light hits wont do any good if the pins are all
in the pit.

The ball needs to hit the 1-3-5-9 at the proper angle in order to strike.  Too much entry angle can prevent the ball from deflecting into the 9 and hence the stone 9.

9 pin comes from too deep of an entry angle. Don't throw the ball away man that's just dumb. I've left two 7-9's in the same game, try that for a nightmare. And yea I'm right handed. I wouldn't worry about it, you won't leave 9 pins consistently (unless you get some sick entry angle) and besides...wouldn't you rather leave that than a 10 pin?
