2 TYPES OF 10 PIN LEAVES (7 for leftys)
Ringing 10 (Excess energy)
Causes;
1. Excess speed.
2. In the oil too long.
3. Excess side rotation.
4. Too much loft.
5. Weaker than normal release/thumb stuck.
6. Ball/condition match-up (late roll).
Remedies;
1. Reduce speed (lower the ball slightly @ address).
2. Move feet 1 board left keeping same target, move feet and target 1 board right.
3. Stay behind ball a bit more (go through not around the ball), change hand position, spread
little finger.
4. Reduce loft (soften grip, increase knee bend).
5. Remove tape, don’t “knuckle†the ball.
6. Move back 4-8†on approach or switch to earlier rolling ball (not necessarily stronger), move
your target closer to the foul line.
Weak/Flat 10 (Insufficient energy)
Causes;
1. Insufficient speed.
2. Not in oil long enough.
3. Insufficient side rotation.
4. Ball/condition match-up (early roll).
Remedies;
1. Increase speed (raise ball slightly @ address).
2. Move feet 1 board right keeping same target, move feet and target 1 board left.
3. Change hand position, spread index finger farther, reduce spread/tuck little finger.
4. Move forward 4-8†on approach or switch to later rolling ball (not necessarily weaker), move your target farther from the foul line.
