I use one of those App's on my phone to track my frames during leagues and I am seeing a trend with my favorite ball (VG Nano Pearl)

My #1 leave is the 4 pin and quite a bit more then the 10 pin, were the 10 pin is number 1 by far with all my other balls.

Why do I leave the 4 pin so much with this ball when comapred to all my others balls?

Thanks

4 pin usually is caused by a high pocket hit. If you get to a point of only the 4 pin or 10 pin is getting left, either move right and throw with a bit more speed, or move left and swing it more. The angle you are creating is wrong.

Also, i dont know your style, but i stroke straight up the back. My black widow pearl if i stay behind the ball, it will carry, but if i come around the side any, everything else the same, the more side rotation will guarantee me a 10 pin. Other balls do the same for me, but not as much as th bwp

Without knowing the other equipment, it is hard to say. I know the Nano Pearl is quite strong and has different characteristics from other "pearls" by being earlier. When throwing a ball as strong as the Nano Pearl, those little changes you make during the shift will probably need to be larger. If your move is too small, it won't make enough of a difference.

Other pearls like the Victory Road Pearl, get much further down the lane and can leave 10-pins from coming in behind the head pin. This is my number one concern with pearls since I do have higher speed and revs.
