And always move your feet in the dierection the ball is missing, If you are right handed and the ball over hooks move left, when the ball doesn't hook enough go right.

The easy answer is to have a ball arsenal. Switch to something stronger.

The hard one involves moving your feet and target, as well as applying techniques such as adding revs through hand position changes, slowing down your ball speed and focusing on building habits that repeat good shots.

When you go practice, ask the guy at the desk if he recalls any lanes that recently had a lot of plastic thrown down it (like a birthday party). I actually find practicing on these conditions is a big help since the free hook is gone and it forces you to be much more accurate on your ball speed and target.

Just expect a lot of weak 10's no matter what you do though in this situation, but it's good practice at picking them up also.
