7 pin 7 pin 7 pin is there any other?
« on: September 18, 2003, 04:41:57 PM »
Hi Guys
I'm Steve,  I live in Oz and I'm stuck on a point that just won't go away.
I have a huge hassle with the 7 pin (naturally I'm left handed)
I bowl from one of 2 lines, down the l h edge and bring it in to the pocket or from just right of the centre and bowl over the 3rd arrow to bring it in. I can honestly say that over the last 4 months, I have bowled well over 70% 9's and in every case the roten 7 pin was my nemesis.
I've tried ball speed, slight shifting of angle, moving a tad forward or back to adjust where the ball comes in but still the same result.
I'm using a zone at present that breaks late.  Any ideas on what to do to overcome this? I was thinking possibly another ball that has a more consistent curve rather than just a back end turn.
I'd really appreciate some feedback (one suggestion has been to look at the hammer range)
Warm wishes

Steve

Hi Steve....WELCOME !

Enter a profile if you can to tell us a little bit more about yourself.

Although I'm not left handed, it doesn't really matter,...the 10 pin is our nemesis!  I usually move forward in the approach to combat leaving 10s, but you more than likey have an entry angle problem,...meaning, too much, causing the 4 to fly around the 7.  By the way, is it ringing ? or a flat 7?

A ball that sets up a little sooner may help........good luck

Take a little surface off of your ball. If you are don't want to hit it real hard. Rub a scotchbrite (Green or grey) across your track above the fingers. Not a ton but enough to notice a slight dulling in the surface. If it starts to carry better great. Consult your local pro shop also usually they can help you with a decision of surface to use. Good luck.
