Impossible to answer, way too general of a question.

Yea. Some things to put in your profile, besides acheivements are things like your style, what balls you throw, preffered line. Things like that help us help you.

I used to leave many 7's. It can be frustrating especially when your pounding the pocket all night long. I've learned that the proper ball speed as well as changing the angle in which the ball comes into the pocket is essential. I used to leave an avg of 12-15 a night. Now I might leave 2 or 3. Sometimes none at all. Try this out. I'm sure this will help.

Pinpunisher: A lot of nights when I'm leaving 7 pins it's usually due to throwing the ball too fast, pushing the ball longer down the breakpoint and then ringing it around high, or sometimes if I try to coming in from a tight angle instead of letting the ball hit a little lighter to carry the corner. As everyone else in the thread stated, we would need to know what type of conditions you bowl on (long oil, short oil, how many feet they oil, heavy concentration of oil where, lighter where, as well as your style, where you like to play on the lane and how fast you throw) to be able to help you a little better.
