Title: 10 pins..how many do you leave per night..?
Post by: T-GOD 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.

I like most of the clique, leave less now than I did.
using Storm equipment 10-13 on any given night.
now usually 2 or 3. There the most I have left since
getting on the bandwagon is 5.

Here are my stats:

Monday league.

Strikes 65 of 180 possible
Spares 48 of 97
opens 45 of 150.
10 pins- 8 of 15 made.
single pin spares 27 of 44 made.
need to work badly on that...

Tuesday league.
(one week did not bowl)
Strikes 82 of 180 possible.
Spares 43 of 78.
opens 35 of 150.
10 pins- 4  of 8 made
single pin spares 18 of 26 made.
need to work on this also.

last week...14 10 pins in a 3 game set...this week 9 10 pins

These numbers are a bit high (especially for someone who likes to swing the ball!), but I usually leav anywhere between 5-10 a night when I am hitting the pocket constantly

Post by: T-GOD on October 19, 2003, 09:04:14 PM
When you're leaving a high number of 10 pins per set, I'd be concerned that you're either not using the right ball, and/or that the balance/layout isn't right for the condition.

Something is not right and needs changing. =:^D

Well on average i leave 1 or 2 tenpins a nite.  Sometimes i leave none, but the most i think i have ever left was 6 tenpins in one three game set.  Of course thats what i get from using Storm, i leave 1 or 2 tenpins on a average nite.  I do seem to leave more 9pins though, but i would rather shoot at a 9pin than a 10pin anyday.

Here lately I haven't left too many 10 pins just alot of other stuff. Mostly the 4, 9, or 7.

T-God,

don't mean to digress from your question, but do you think that we purposely try to hit the pocket a little lighter (hence the number of 10 pin leaves) since it is easier to convert the 10 (or 7 pin if lefty) than to convert a split if you hit high?
