Ringing Ten Pin
« on: February 13, 2015, 10:11:05 PM »
Does anyone have any advice for ringing ten pins? What would cause several ring tens a game?

Too much angle or ball going too long. Tighten up your line or go to a ball thats a little earlier.

Agree with Northface. Everytime,... I repeat EVERYTIME, you leave a corner pin the ball has pushed too far downlane and created too much angle wrapping the 6 around the 10, or not enough causing the 6 to lay flat. Either way, an adjustment is required. More surface, quicker spinning bowling ball, softer hand at the bottom, slower speed, hand position adjustments,  not in that order.

EVERY TIME except when the ball is starting to burn up a little early and the move is left instead of right.

Last night I left six 10 pins in the second game and 5 came on the same lane. I made adjustment to the ringing ten, but it became a flat ten, or a light tap for wiggle 10. Not in that order. but it was a ringing and flat exchange making wrong adjustments for it. In the third game I switched ball that had a little more surface than the pearl I was using, moved 4-2 3-1...... That made a difference for I only left one 10 pin and a 7 pin...

sometimes it's trial an error for us mortals.... ::)

It describes a couple of options for carrying the 10 pin.

Ringing tens also come from too much ball speed.  pins accelerate out so fast that the 6 doesn't stay low and instead misses the 10 as it goes by the neck.
