5 person teams, you are winning by 100 with only you left to bowl. You are working on a 4 bagger into the tenth, with nothing on the line..no honor score or anything like that.
Do you hammer in the dagger?
Do you try something new?
Tonight, I tried something new. I've really been killing myself that last game on my Monday mixed league. I was working on a decent game the second game, we were up by 100+. I moved in alittle and tried another shot. I still shot 248, but didn't punch out or even throw a strike in tenth. I do find out I could move in alittle if need be. I didn't have a huge sub 200 fall off the last game.
What do you do?

If its the third game, I don't think I would experiment because by that point your bowling night is done- unless you bowl in a 4 game league.
I've been noticing that my games have been dropping during games two and three... have to keep experimenting to find the right ball/line combination for those two games (lately I've been averaging 236+ for the first game...).

Anything less would be sandbagging.
Now if that is the tenth frame of the first or second game and I feel an adjustment is going to be needed. Then I’ll make the adjustment I believe is needed to get lined up for the next game.
But everything is to get as many pins as I can that night.

I have NEVER bagged any game in my life. Not in my nature.

Up by 150 pins going into the 10th, I was having NO room for error, so I tried moving outside in the tenth frame (playing down the five board). Went through the nose, but I found the line on the next shot. Dialed me in for the rest of the night.

If you are trying to strike on a different line and ping a 10, that isn't sandbagging. Now, if you are up a 100, then toss to gutters in the tenth, that might be considered sandbagging. The majority of the time, I am already at my average...
