move a half a board to the left with your feet...you'll carry the 10.  Scratch that, move a half board with your feet to the right..I'm a lefty, always thinking backwards.

Is the ball driving through the pocket? Is the ball drilled too strong? Are they flat 10s ringing 10s? Leavin 7 pins as well?

light hits and 6 pin is just going in front or around the 10. Either try using more speed or less speed, sometimes if using more speed than you normally do, there isn't enough time for pins to hit into each other, they are just moving to fast or Vice-Versa.

Im so glad people are brainwashed to think that TRACK sucks. And its even funnier when im carrying with my TRACK ball and they're going flat ten with their BRUNSWICK ball.

the ball is made for a defined dry area to break off of.no dry or long patters result in to much skid/to much energy into the pins resulting in a ringing ten.try some more surface on the ball,2000 grit abralon or 1000 or save for when conditions favor the oob surface on the ball.if it were me I would save it for the correct pattern/lane condition.

Tell the owner of the center to install wahsams. We got them here and it is very hard to leave a 10 pin. :-)

I don't want 'em.  Keep yer forkin' wahsams (sp?).

Another cheaters way of getting higher scores without the need to work for them!

I can't believe that I'm saying this, but I LIKE leaving 10 pins and then having to work out why I'm leaving them and fixing the problem.

With these wahsam thingys you would never learn how to fix the problem and it would rear it's ugly head each time you bowled in a house without wahsams.

They'll be inventing pins that fall over on their own soon.  Just pay your lineage and watch the pins fall over for a 300 average!

I'm all for progress, but keep the gimicks!  Spring loaded gutters!  Whatever next, spring loaded balls??

For gods sake I hope you are joking!!that is the most pathetic thing I have ever heard! like scores aren't a joke now let alone with that crap. I hope you leave 15 ten pins a night.

In regards to nerdyotes move your feet back three inches on the approach then try. The reason why YOU are leaving the ten pin is because YOU are throwing the ball, the ball only does what YOU tell it to do. So YOU have to change the angle the ball is hitting the pins.

Try this...as Spider said..move a little to your right or left..this will change your angle into the pocket or you can (and this is if you have room) move your feet forward maybe 5-6" or backwards the same.  Again this will cause the ball to be at a different angle when it hits the pocket.  Trust this old man..nothing will stop you from leaving 10 Pins.  Hopefully it will help you leave a few less.

I usually move about 6" back on ringing 10s, and 6" up on flat 10's.  Like it has been said here, it's about trying to change the entry angle into the pocket.

Wahsams are big springs that are installed below the flat gutters next to the pin deck.  I cannot see how they are legal.  USBC doing its regular great job again.  More like cheating to me.  Go to the website WWW.wahsams.com and read the testimonials.
