It was fairly common in league this season to struggle with leaving 10-pins in the third game.  That''s when I was forced to play around 16-17 or further inside to keep the pocket.  I tried to figure out the cause of the 10-pins, and I kinda came to the conclusion that it was too much angle, since adding axis rotation seemed to make it worse.  Breakpoints around 10 a little inside of that carried better than outside.

So I''m just trying to come up with a better plan to improve my chances of carrying the next time this happens.  Is decreasing axis rotation the answer?  Need to use a ball that reads the midlane more?

Because someone is probably going to ask, I couldn''t tell you the kind of 10-pin it was.  Some could have been flat considering some were half-pocket hits.  Not sure if any of theme were ringing, chances are the 6-pin would roll around in the gutter then fall in the pit which is still considered flat.  Very few actually just have the 6-pin lay in the gutter.
