For me when I go to practice I have slowly developed a routine that has worked well.

First game I start slow as warm up and throw plastic up the gutter to work on the outside line. After a few frames of getting lose I throw at 10 pins first before throwing my strike ball. I do this for the whole first game.


Second game I move in to second arrow and work on throwing that part of the lane with some of my midline equipment. Focus on timing, and a good release.

Third game I go to something more aggressive and work on playing 4th arrow or deeper which is closer to my A game. I continue to focus on good timing, and a good release. I try and focus on my target area and making good shots.

Usually I only bowl three games. If I bowl a fourth I work on what ever I may have struggled with during the three previous games. Either the, line or timing and release, or accuracy.....or all of the above if it was that bad.

I am going to heavily practice my spares this summer. Is there a good way to practice left side spares? Something like try to come into the pocket light on the first ball to leave left side spares to shoot at. Would that even work?

I try to pactice at least once a week, first a couple of shots to get loose, then get on my timming, after that foul line drills for around 10 minutes, I'm working on staying behind the ball to create a heavy roll so im practicing that a lot.
2nd drill is the 1 step approach and then my ful approach, all of this drills for 10 minutes each, then spend  around 15 minutes trying to hit the corner pins until I get 10 7s in a row or 10s in a row, this is just my basic routine when I practice, if I want to practice 4th arrow or any other type of game, after practicing corner pins I will try to get my timming back to the mark Ill try to play during practice, plus I dont watch my score when Im practicing
