Move a couple of boards to the right. Ball is hitting the pocket to late, driving the 3 pin right instead of back.

Just a typo, correction is sound though. Comming in too late causing the 3 pin to go to the left of the 6 pin. Generally pushing the whole rack left.

Generally 3-6 per game, as said earlier.

Once left 11 in the space of 2 games.

Generally, I will carry a strike (not necessarily leave the 10, but any pin) about 60-65% of the time on pocket hits, if you figure the 10 is probably the most common leave for a right hander on pocket hits, it's probably left as often as any other one or two pin spare put together, so the 10 is left on pocket hits about 20% of the time give or take a little bit. Just as another stat, in 39 games in my league this year, I've left 48 10 pins, as compared with 23 4 pins (the second most common leave I have).  Probably more information than anybody was asking for, but those are the numbers.

In a 3 game set, I average about 6-8 tens a night. I usually make about 80-90% of them when I leave em too.

I dont carry for ****. Neither does my best mate, its uncanny the amount of corners we leave. So much so that we were going to get shirts embroidered saying "No carry club" or something to that effect. We used to bowl doubles all the time, and between us in 1 game our record was 15 non carrying shots. I had 6 and he had 9. It was REDICULOUS. Needless to say he quit the sport out of frustration.

But now that ive taken it up again, and taking everything a bit more seriously and acutally making adjustments, probly 2 10 pins a game on average. Dont get me started on 4 pins tho, i carry about 10% of them if im lucky. Any tips for that one???

good luck and high scoring

Normally on a good honest pocket shot I will leave 3-5 a set.  But in league last night, the ball was coming in late & hard and I found that I left 10-12.  Very frustrating!  Even more frustrating since my spare shooting went down the crapper(likely out of frustration)  Imagine hitting the pocket 75% and shooting a mind blowing 488!

I'll leave 5-6 per night with my Trauma ER, but with my Viscious Particle I'll leave more 4 pins and 9 pins than 10's.

Im like mumzie in a past post.
I keep adjusting. Move a little , change release a little etc. It does work, only sometimes and Ive done it once. I had 9 nines in a game 3-10's,2-8's,1-9,2-4's and a 7. So it doesnt always pay trying it out. But it does most of the time.
