Stupid Nine Pin
« on: December 14, 2017, 08:35:58 PM »
Buddy of mine has been crushing the pocket, but just keeps getting no honor scores because of NINE-pins left behind.

In one game I watched him leave three consecutive nine pins, many strikes, and then a ten-pin at the end.

What changes do you make for leaving the nine-pin often?

Smoother reaction, less angle

Honestly, I'd probably just move left a board or two.

The ball needs SOME deflection.  Although too much deflection and you can leave the 8.  Ideally the ball splits the 8 & 9 pins leaving the deck.

This is why you should just throw sick Messengers every shot. #manlyrevs

Actually the 5 pin takes out the 8 in a perfect hit and the ball gets the nine.  Ball only hits 1-3-5 and 9. Friction from modern balls is so great that the ball doesn't deflect off the 5 into the 9.

I can’t recall any season like last year where I left so many dead solid 9 pins, made me pull out the little hair that I have left on my head.  ;D    Simply just smh, and move on to the next shot.
