Leaving ten pin
« on: November 21, 2017, 10:34:52 AM »
I was watching my daughter pre bowl in her sport shot league last night and there was a young man also pre bowling with her. He played a small swing while she was playing up the boards. What I noticed in the third game was that she started ringing 10's (5 of 10 frames). I have heard people say that means the young man was pushing oil out on her. Is this true or is there some other explanation? Also what kind of adjustments could she have made to stop leaving 10 pins. She had not left any 10 pins first or second game so I am pretty sure something changed in the third game to cause her to start leaving 10 pins

Sounds like she should have just tightened her line up, some.

Or open up a little bit

If she's truly ringing tens, her entry angle is wrong. If she's leaving flat tens, she needs to move.

IMO, quarter board adjustments on a house shot is useless. Move your eyes 2 left to catch more head oil and stay down (flat 10 rules)

I hope most of you don't wonder why you get behind in the transition if you are moving right in the third game.

I apologize I should have mentioned she was bowling on a sport shot

As was mentioned before and by others, there are so many factors that can weigh in on this situation. On a house shot I generally make big moves to remedy a situation like this....if I intend on using the same ball. Usually front to back moves adding or subtracting loft, to either bleed off energy if I'm getting a ringing ten, or to retain energy if I'm getting the flat ten.

The other option is.....change balls and go to something with a lower differential, but similar cover.

If it's a sport shot, I'm tightening my line and changing my release. Just my two cents.
Some days you're the bug....some days you're the windshield...that's bowling!

Thanks for all the help. If and when we run into this again we have a plan of attack
