I use the Triax system and slightly modified it to fit my game. It works well no matter what the lane condition is, sport shot or house shot.

It's discussed in two California Bowling News articles:

http://www.californiabowlingnews.com/issues.htm

Look on page 2 in these issues:
December 28th, 2006 Issue - The Triax Spare System, Part I
January 4th, 2007 Issue - The Triax Spare System, Part II

I think there was a BTM article on it 2-3 years ago as well. I don't remember what issue it was.

Another triax user here. Using this system with my trusty blue dot I can throw straight at the majority of my spares, including double wood and buckets.

ever since i used the triax system my left side spares have increased dramatically. I never liked going cross the lane for left sided spares but this makes it easy for me.

since i cant bowl a straight shot, i minimize my spares with a reactive ball that doesnt move, the dynothane vendetta maxx

nothing is fixed, prior start of league or competition, most of the leaves were tested, that includes, 7, 10, 3-6-10, bucket, 3-6-9-10 even brooklyn in case of washout
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

hook is great
straight is greater

I alsways pick my single pins over the middle with a straight ball (7 from the right 10 from the left 5 pin also from the right etc)

on more complicated spares I use my XXXL with hook to get the pins to get into the direction I want

I have no real "system" I just use my normal straight or hook throw and know how much my ball will hook to get it where it needs to hit to get e.g. the 3pin into the 7 (3-7-10 split) works fine.

Most single pins I go straight at with the exception of the nine pin which I move on board left of my last shot and throw a ''strike'' at it. Anything else I go straight with a broken wrist, when you can throw over 25 mph and break your wrist plastic is redondent.

I stand 3 boards left of the last dot on the last for the ten and six pin. one board right of the last dot on the right for the seven pin and four pin. Adjust accordingly for anything else.


If I have to deal with over the top returns I will hook it at stuff on the left.

I use my own spare shooting system. I use plastic on all spares except some double wood. I will shoot the 2-8 with my plastic, but not the 3-6-9-10 where I need some hook to cover the 9 pin. You just need to get comfortable using your spare ball with a consistent target and lots of practice.
