10 pins..how many do you leave per night..?
« on: October 09, 2003, 11:00:45 AM »
Now that we know how often we pick them up, let's see how many that everyone leaves per night. I leave about 3-4 per night in league. =:^D

If you don't leave at least 5 10's a night at this one house I bowl at, you must have been doing a lot of praying the week before.  Lol, it's probably not that bad, but if you leave a single pin, it's one of the back row most of the time.  Hitting the pocket doesn't count here, you've gotta hit it perfectly and pray you carry something.

Lol, I usually throw my Detonator at them.  It comes off my hand the easiest, so that's what I throw . .

Generally I'll leave 4-6 10 pins on my league night.

Ever since I went with AZO/Visionary and Lane 1 (CG outs only with the Buzzsaws), I leave at the max three ten pins a night.  

Before getting all this equipment, I left on the average 12-15 tenpins a night.  I would also miss half of them as well, but now I have gotten better on both ends.

I generally only leave 1-2 per night but I do have those nights occasionally where I'll leave 9 or 10 and of course those are the nights that I've lost my spare shooting capabilities.  On the other hand I'm always good for at least 5 4-pins, a couple of 9's, and at least 1 4-9 split.

I would guess I average 2-3 in a 3 game set.

I've been struggling with some very dry heads, and consequently most of my non-strikes tend to be multi-pin spares or splits.

some days I dont leave any, some days I leave 6-10 of them. It depends on how well you roll it. It also helps it you know how to read your ball reaction. Last sunday, I shot 233-233-259=725, and only left 2 ten pins, one in the 1st game, one in the 3rd game. One was a good shot, one was not.

I used to leave 7-8 and up, but since I switched to Buzzsaws, I normally average around 3-4 over a 3 game set.

I usually only leave 2-3 a night. but last week I left everything in the rack except 1,3,and 5, all in the pocket on one lane. five of those were in one game. Needless to say, I was extremely bummed. but at least I covered most of 'em.

I'm starting to like this Qubica system.

Wed nite statistics.

1 open - 11 spares - 20 strikes.  683

Of the spares, 1 was a bucket, 1 4 pin, 1 7 pin.  8 10 pins.

We're bowling on this new lane shield surface, none of us have quite figured out the transition yet.
