Which board do you stand on and which do you aim at?
« on: March 16, 2004, 07:25:25 AM »
I know this is somewhat condition specific but is your bread and butter?  What I mean is when you step up to throw your first ball on the lane which board to you stand on and which do you aim at?  Your average, favorite, more times than not, whatever you want to call it.  I am half bored half curious so I am gonna find the average of everyone that posts just for the heck of it.  If you're a left count boards from left so I don't get confused lol.

Here's mine to start...

Stand:  usually around 25
Aim : usually around 15

Stand on 22

Aim at 12

.....And guess what? Sometimes I even hit 12.

I've been finding myself working back towards 22 myself lately... added a little more speed.

So right now that's about

23.5 and 13.5

WOW this is so exciting!

My first ball in practice is always stand 20, slide 24, look 12.  Then I just move accordingly.  Mostly left though, no oil around here lately.

It depends which house I'm in. In house # 1 I stand 20 and look at 6, house # 2 I stand 32 and look 13. Both houses I'm using a Black Cherry Bomb.

my first ball is always the 7 pin shot (lefty). i can usually judge how the lane is oiled by watching my ball move.

"bread and butter" on a THS is standing 25. throwing over 15 out to 8 and in.
--------------------
i don't care who makes it, how much it costs, or how sexy the ball looks. can i carry the 7 and level the deck with a $60 ball?

bring on the Lefty uprising!

For probably my first 4-5 balls I just get up there and throw. For me, there is no point lining up and trying to hit a mark without being slightly warmed up. When I actually try to hit a mark without warming up, I miss almost every time.


but I like to stand on: 24-26
AIM: I usually try to lay the ball down around 16-17 and be at about 12-13 at the arrows and be at 7 board deep down the lane.
