Right Handed Bowler Leaving 8 Pin
« on: June 12, 2017, 09:29:45 PM »
I was bowling senior league today and threw it appeared 3 beautiful shots and left 8 pins. I have heard that there is really nothing that you can do but was wondering if there is a standard adjustment to make for this.

So the ball hits the head pin in such a manner that it drives it more in front of the 2 pin instead of hitting it flush, which then results in the 2 pin being driven more backwards and to the right instead of toward the 4 pin?

Yes.  2 hits the five before the ball, moving it right, so the ball chops the five straight back instead of into the 8.

You use to see it more when guys would roll it out more often.  Now more people understand ball motion and sometime the ball gets the 8 and 9.

There was a shot I remember when I hit high flush, the head pin hit the 5 pin causing it to go straight back or behind the 8 pin. I was using a friend 16lbs ball at the time.

...and sometimes the will leave be an 8-10. Either way, sounds like a light pocket hit to me.


Just speaking from my personal experience of leaving a few thousand of the *&!#(+@ things.   ;D

Ring ten and flat 10 aren't the same thing, neither is a solid 8 and an 8-10. 

Bowl long enough and you will solid 8 with a ring 10.

Left one Sunday...

Light pocket hit, everyone on the pair said I was robbed. I knew it hit the pocket light and was my fault. Not that I admitted it out loud of course...

Flush.  A solid 8 is not light.

Meant an 8-10. Most people don't seem know the difference between a flat ten and ringing ten and especially why they left either one. I knew exactly why I left the 8-10.

to leave an 8 pin or not to leave an 8 pin, that is the question.

if you miss an 8 pin, pack your bags and go home.....

I hate when people think they should strike because they hit the 1-3 or 1-2. That ball was clearly high, a flat 10 is not a great shot, and your pocket 7-10 was because your ball came in behind the head pin.

8-10, weak 10, swishing 7-10, even mist ringing 10s are the result of deflection.  Stone 9 is the result of a bit too much entry angle.  Only the flush solid 8 can't be associated with too much angle or too much deflection.

And of course I left one in league last night in the 10th of the last game.

I completely agree with this link. I always say that if you left ANY pin, then it wasn't a "perfect" hit. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just fooling themselves.
