Worst Leave on a Pocket Hit
« on: April 22, 2004, 06:50:06 PM »
I had an experience a couple nights ago that totally blew me away!  After league, I decided to throw a few shots with a new ball I just recently drilled up.  It was an Apex Obsession drilled to roll early.  It was second shift oil and I knew this ball was fairly strong, so I threw a shot fairly deep on the lane (or course knowing that the ball was made to arc and was drilled to arc.. so playing inside with it on drier lanes probably wasn't the best line... but I just wanted to see how it rolled).  Hit 20 at the arrows, and wanted to swing it out to about 13 at the break point.  Didn't happen... the ball revved up very early... but surprisingly smooth.  It read the mids amazing... nice controlled breakpoint, but only made it out to about 15.  After the break point, it started home and went absolutely flat!  The ball didn't roll out, but definitely "hooked out".  It hit the pocket flush (but had no angle) and left a stone 4, 5, 7.  I had left (or seen) one of those before!  I wanted to see if it was a fluke leave, so I threw about 5 or 6 more shots afterwards... carried most of them.  Ths has to be my worst leave on a pocket hit (even though it had no angle and little drive).. what is yours???

I left 7-10 on a hard pocket shot a few times in just one week.

A buddy bowled in a doubles tournament with me a few weeks ago. He left a pocket 7-10 in practice, then a few more times during play, he was pulling his hair out!!

If you can't pick up spares, you can't score, simple as that.
