<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large;">1. <span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> </span><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Flat 10 Pin </b>- The first type of 10 pin in bowling is the flat or weak 10 pin. This is when the bowling ball rolls weak into the pocket and is due to a loss of energy. There are two reasons why this happens. Either the ball has never gone into a roll, or the ball has rolled too early and lost all of its energy before it gets to the pocket. So you must recognize two things. One being which type of 10 pin you are leaving. The other is whether the bowling ball is rolling too early or not rolling early enough. To determine whether you are leaving the flat 10 or the weak 10, look at the 6 pin. If the 6 pin is lying in the gutter, it indicates a weak or flat 10 pin. If you are leaving a flat 10, you need more angle or a ball that breaks later and sharper. You can do this with a change in the ball surface, <ahref bowlingballgalaxy.com="" hand-positions="" http:="" in-bowling.html="" style="box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">handposition, type of ball, ball drilling layout, or a change in ball speed. If the bowling ball is rolling too early, you need to roll it harder. If it is skidding or not going into its roll, you may need less ball speed.</ahref></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">2.<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> </span><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Wrap 10 Pin </b>- The second type of 10 pin in bowling is the wrap 10, or ringing 10 pin. This occurs because the ball rolls into the pocket with too much angle or too much speed. The bowling ball does not have enough end-over-end roll. If the 6 pin goes around the 10 pin quickly, then you are leaving a wrap 10. A reason for this may be you are rolling the ball too hard. If you are leaving the wrap 10, you normally need earlier roll or more end-over-end roll. You can do this with a change in </span><a href="http://bowlingballgalaxy.com/bowling-ball-surface/reaction-chart.html" style="box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">ball surface</span></a><span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">, hand position, reducing your ball speed, type of ball or ball drilling layout.</span></div>

<b><span style="color: purple;">Bowling equipment has changed the game drastically in recent decades, and while some effects are obvious, others are much more understated. Upgraded balls and new kinds of technology have allowed us to better understand what happens throughout the course of a bowling shot, as well as what happens in between shots.</span></b></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1rem; hyphens: none; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<b><span style="color: purple;">We have always known that lane oil dries up and wears away throughout the course of a game, and that an evolving pattern affects shot selection, equipment choice and sometimes even mentality. However, only recently have we been able to easily show exactly what’s happening to your shot when you don’t adjust to changing bowling lane oil conditions. In this lesson, we go over some of the core concepts of using lane oil to your advantage and discuss what you should do throughout a game and tournament when a lane is in transition.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: purple;">One of the biggest pitfalls bowlers face is not adjusting their play to changing bowling lane oil conditions. No matter how consistent your stroke is or how much power you generate in your swing, it’s not going to matter unless you work with the lane oil. So to help you figure out <a href="http://www.usbcbowlingacademy.com/video/how-to-read-an-oil-pattern-sheet-understanding-bowling-lane-oil-patterns-007616/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased !important; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none; text-rendering: geometricPrecision !important; text-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.004) 1px 1px 1px;">how to read oil patterns on bowling lanes</a> so you can adapt to the transition, we teach you about the key concepts of lane oil changes, and talk about what to look for throughout the course of a game or multiple games.</span></b></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1rem; hyphens: none; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<b><span style="color: purple;">As soon as you throw your first shot of a game the lane oil pattern begins to transition, which means you must <a href="http://www.usbcbowlingacademy.com/video/adjusting-your-game-based-on-bowling-lane-conditions-005536/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased !important; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none; text-rendering: geometricPrecision !important; text-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.004) 1px 1px 1px;">judge bowling lane conditions</a> and react accordingly. With each subsequent shot, the way you attack the pocket should be a little bit different, whether it’s a simple change in your approach or a switch to a new type of ball.

In short, this system defines four standard balance hole positions (P1, P2, P3, and P4) that can be used to alter the motion of the ball:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #990000;">P1 holes slightly weaken the ball’s motion by reducing its differentials and cutting down on its track flare.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #990000;">P2 holes have almost no effect.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #990000;">P3 holes moderately strengthen the ball’s motion by moderately increasing its differentials and moderately increasing its track flare.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #990000;">P4 holes significantly strengthen the ball’s motion by significantly increasing its differentials and significantly increasing its track flare.</span></li>

<span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Bowling Lane Play</b>. - There are 3 basic types of bowling lane lines; open, medium, and direct. (Note: this is for right handed bowlers – reverse everything for left handed bowlers.)</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">1. <a href="http://bowlingballgalaxy.com/lane-play/inside-line.html"><b>Open Line</b></a> - The open line is inside from the 14th board on the bowling lane. The ball angle is directed toward the 6 pin as it is released. This is described in the illustration below. High revolution bowlers like this angle most the time.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">2. <a href="http://bowlingballgalaxy.com/lane-play/track-area.html"><b>Medium Or Indirect Line</b></a> - The medium or indirect line is from the 13th to the 8th board, or the track area, on the bowling lane. The ball angle is a medium line directed toward the 3 and 6 pins as the ball is released. It is also described in the illustration below. Power strokers or tweener type bowlers like this line.</span></div>

Cleaning your bowling ball is an area that is discussed and talked about a lot in the bowling world, and there are many different methods that can be used to do this. Most bowlers neglect to clean and maintain their bowling equipment until the bowling ball performance stops, or it stops reacting the way they think it should.<br /><br />The bowling ball manufacturers tell us to clean our ball with a microfiber towel and a special cleaner after every bowling session. But time and time again the bowlers just don’t take it seriously until their ball quits working for them.<br /><br />Following is a line of procedure that one should try to follow if they want to keep their bowling ball in fairly good condition.<br /><br />Please note: The new bowling balls of today soak up lane conditioner and will always eventually die. I am sorry to say this, but it is true. The following will help slow down the process, but will not stop it. In addition, some bowling balls last longer than others. I have some that are a few years old and others that only last a few months.<br /><br />First you need to get a few things; a <a href="http://bowling-accessories-proshop-supplies.bowlingballgalaxy.com/" target="_blank">mirco fiber towel</a>, some bowling ball cleaner, <a href="http://bowlingballgalaxy.com/abralon-pads.html" target="_blank">abralon pads</a>, a bucket and water.<br /><br />These are the things I use that have worked the best for me.<br /><br />1. After each frame wipe the lane conditioner off your bowling ball.<br />2. After you are done bowling for the night clean your ball with the bowling ball cleaner and wrap it in a towel or get a see saw.<br />3. Every so many games, with some reactive bowling balls, you will have to rejuvenate the surface or put the grooves back in the cover stock so it will grab the lane surface again. So get some abralon pads and scuff up the cover stock. The bowling ball informational sheet should tell you the out of box finish.<br />4. Every 50 to 100 games soak the ball in a bucket of warm (not hot) water. Warm Soapy water will extract a lot of lane conditioner and give the ball back some of its original performance. Just simply put the ball in the warm soapy water for about 30 to 45 minutes and then rinse it off and let it dry a few days. Then rejuvinate the coverstock with the abralon and there you go. (Note: warm not hot and not to long. In addition make sure the ball is dry before using).</div>

This is a question I have gotten a lot. I will mainly be talking about the newer reactive bowling balls. I will not go into too much detail about the plastic, rubber, or urethane balls. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">I also must note that this is my personal opinion and experience only. This question could go into some detail and I may address it more in later posts. A plastic ball could last for quite awhile, but you will get lots of chipping and cracking. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">These balls do not absorb much lane conditioner and have a semi-hard cover even though it is brittle. You could have one of these balls for many years or only a few months. Remember, these are not high performance bowling balls so scoring will suffer. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Urethane bowling balls have some oil abortion and have a durable cover, but usually do not have much track flare. They do not score as well as a reactive ball. These balls could last you a couple years if cleaned and maintained properly. Some problems are there are not many companies that make these balls anymore and they do not score as high as reactive balls. A reactive ball scores higher normally, but the longevity of the ball is short so you will sacrifice performance and scoring. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">I have seen some reactive bowling balls only last 30 to 50 games, yet I have seen some work well for a few years. Now the lane center’s choice in conditioner seems to play a factor, but I have no scientific proof of this. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Some conditioners seem to have properties that kill the ball faster. One factor is the oil absortion rate. A lot of these balls are made to soak up oil like a sponge. It only makes sense the faster the ball is designed to soak up this lane oil, the faster it will lose it's hooking action. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">My point is a highly absorbing bowling ball will not last as long as one that has a slower absorbing rate. These are a couple factors. The question was how long will my bowling ball last. With the new high performance balls, the one time a week bowler will probably have to get a new ball every year or two because most the time the ball only last an average of 100 to 200 games. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">If you bowl a 33 week season at 3 games a night that would be 99 games. Then add probably at least one practise game weekly and you would equal 132 games a season. If you bowl more than that let say 2 or 3 times a week, you are looking at 2 or 3 balls a year for top performance. Proper cleaning and maintaining your ball can help make it last longer. In brief, the more you bowl, the more new equipment you will need. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Good Luck and Great Bowling.</span></span>Bowl-A-Roll Laneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14431932370066367560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133693851099691315.post-72852894947304725772018-04-09T16:32:00.003-04:002018-04-09T16:32:57.102-04:00Adjusting Your Push Way <span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">Here is a </span><em style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">bowling tip</em><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> to help you do two things. One get more speed on your ball, the other being slowing your shot down. </span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">Now this tip can also be used to get the ball down the lane or set it down sooner. The idea of this technique is to use your push away to ether push the ball up and out farther at the start or down and with less force. </span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">Now we ask what does this do and which one does what. Well I am not going to go into too much detail at this time about when you should try this technique, but I am going to try to explain which does what. </span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">Now if we push the ball up and out more this will cause the ball to have more force in the pendulum swing, this will cause more momentum at and speed in your arm swing so you will in turn get more speed on the ball. </span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">In addition, to this you will have a higher back swing which could help you get the ball out and down the lane quicker. Now pushing the bowling ball down and out with less forces will do just the opposite, this will give you less force in the pendulum swing. </span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">In addition, you will not have as much back swing so in turn less force at your release point. This could aid in slowing your shot down or setting your bowling ball down sooner. Now caution should be taken into consideration, you do not want to mess up your approaches timing and develop a bad habit. </span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">I recommend you be versatile enough and learn what to do when, but learn when to change back if these techniques do not work today. In addition, you should toy around with this type of adjustment in practice to find out what they do for you and which works best in what situation.</span></span>Bowl-A-Roll Laneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14431932370066367560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133693851099691315.post-65491112711083946292018-03-19T16:57:00.000-04:002018-03-19T16:57:02.043-04:00Three Basic Lines in Bowling<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: -webkit-center;">

<span style="color: #4c1130;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Bowling Lane Play</b>. - There are 3 basic types of bowling lane lines; open, medium, and direct. (Note: this is for right handed bowlers – reverse everything for left handed bowlers.)</span></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">1. <a href="http://bowlingballgalaxy.com/lane-play/inside-line.html" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Open Line</b></a> - The open line is inside from the 14th board on the bowling lane. The ball angle is directed toward the 6 pin as it is released. This is described in the illustration below. High revolution bowlers like this angle most the time.</span></div>

The ball angle is a medium line directed toward the 3 and 6 pins as the ball is released. It is also described in the illustration below. Power strokers or tweener type bowlers like this line.</span></div>

<br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;" />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="background-color: white;">Here is a tip that is designed to give you some of the potential reasons you could be pulling your shot across your body in bowling, and perhaps a cure for the problem. Ninety percent of curing the problem is understanding the cause. A few potential reasons for pulling your shot are listed below. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="background-color: white;">1. Fear of getting the ball outside your target; so you pull your shot across your body. This is common on sport patterns like the USBC oil patterns or PBA shot. On this condition try to remember to roll the ball straight down, not outside or inside your target, narrowing your margin of error. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="background-color: white;">2. Round housing your arm swing is when a bowler goes around their body in the approach. Sometimes it is because they are starting their ball in the middle of their body rather then to their side. Remember your arm swing should be straight back and forward in the pendulum swing. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="background-color: white;">3. Fast feet is when your feet and arm swing are out of time, which causes the bowler to be off line at the end of their approach and delivery. Some things to try are slowing your feet down and keeping your arm swing the same speed as it was before. Try moving up or moving back on the approach. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="background-color: white;">These are a few things to try and some potential causes for pulling your shot in bowling. Once again, tips are a tip that is all they are, if it does not work go back to what you were doing before. </span></span>Bowl-A-Roll Laneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14431932370066367560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133693851099691315.post-54050295609118546822018-03-19T16:44:00.000-04:002018-03-19T16:44:50.617-04:00How To Clean Your Bowling Ball<br />

What is the Most Important Thing for higher Scores?<br />
Even with bowling centers that have easier house patterns which takes less
effort to roll a strike, this tip affects all types of bowler's scores.
Beginner to advanced, cranker, tweener or stroker, I can sum this up in one
word, SPARES! Spare shooting is still the most important part of the game of
bowling.<br />
<br />
<br />
It can cost a professional a match in tournaments or be the one thing
that keeps you from that new target score. Doing a simple calculation, one
missed spare is minus 11 pins. This is usually pretty close. As an example, if
I were to have a clean 200 game, but with an open frame or a missed a spare, I
would have about a 189. This does depend on your pin count (Note: This is just
a ball park figure).<br />
<br />
<br />
Another way to look at it is I had a 200 game with 1 open frame, but I
would have had about a 211 if I would have filled the open frame with a spare.
To sum it up I know it sounds basic, but it is true, spare shooting is still
the most important part in bowling. <br />

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">1.
Get a Good fitting bowling ball. In addition, beginners should only use a
conventional grip bowling ball. Don't buy an expensive ball at this time, but
get a name brand ball and not from a department store get one from a pro-shop,

<b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Bowling Hand Positions<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The Different Hand Positions in Bowling<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />How Changing Hand Positions Affects Bowling Ball Roll.</b></div>
<div align="left" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Bowling Hand Positions</b> - There are many different hand positions in bowling. I am only going to start out with a few of the basic ones. Cupped, Straight, and Broken are the 3 basic vertical hand positions. The 3 basic horizontal wrist positions which are at 12 o'clock, 10:30, and 9 o'clock. Using different combinations of these changing hand positions in bowling will affect the ball roll. This affect causes the bowling ball to have earlier roll or later roll. It can also cause different angles to the pocket and cause the ball to hook or roll at different spots on the bowling lane. At times it can substitute for bowling ball speed problems. These basic wrist combinations, along with different finger positions in gripping the bowling ball may be all that’s needed. Try them before changing bowling lane lines, or even changing bowling equipment, or bowling ball layouts.</div>
<div align="left" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
1. <b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="http://bowlingballgalaxy.com/hand-positions/in-bowling-cupped-release.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: green;">The Cupped Release</a></b> - The cupped release is when your wrist is curled so that your fingers and hand are angled upward in a 45 degree angle. This causes the bowling ball to roll sooner. It also gives you an earlier break point. (Note: most crankers or high revolution bowlers like this wrist position).</div>
<div align="left" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
2. <a href="http://bowlingballgalaxy.com/hand-positions/bowling-straight-release.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: green;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Straight Release</b></a> - The straight release is when your wrist is straight. There is no break upward or downward. This release is a starting position. It is a release that should be used most of the time. You should then adjust from this point. This is a medium wrist position. (Note: most straight bowlers or strokers like this wrist position).</div>
<div align="left" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
3. <a href="http://bowlingballgalaxy.com/hand-positions/bowling-broken-release.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: green;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Broken Wrist Release</b></a> - The broken wrist position, or release, is when your hand and fingers are angle down toward the ground; also your wrist is broken. This release position is used when you want to delay the break point or if you want to get the ball down lane before it hooks. It is also used to get through the heads. (Note: the heads are the first part of the bowling lane). It can also substitute for ball speed or for drier lane conditions. I have seen famous professionals like Norm Duke and Brian Voss use this release a lot.</div>
<div align="left" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
4. <b style="box-sizing: border-box;">The 12 o'clock Release</b> - With the 12 o'clock, or 10 degree, release as you hold your ball your thumb comes straight up with no (or very little) side turn. Your hand and thumb will be at the 12 o'clock position as it is released. This release will give the bowling ball a lot of end over end roll. It causes the bowling ball to delay its break point. This release is used on dryer lanes and to help get the ball down the lane before it hooks. (Note: this is also called a 10 degree axis rotation).</div>
<div align="left" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
5. <b style="box-sizing: border-box;">The 10:30 Release</b> - With the 10:30, or 45 degree, release as you hold your bowling ball your hand is turned horizontal and your thumb is pointed at 10:30 on a clock, or at a 45 degree angle. This release is the most common. It also should be used as a starting point. This release gives the bowling ball a slight inward turn toward the 7 pin. (Note: this is also called a 45 degree axis rotation).</div>
<div align="left" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
6. <b style="box-sizing: border-box;">The 9 o'clock Release</b> - With the 9 o'clock, or 90 degree, release as you hold the bowling ball your hand is turned horizontally to the side facing 9 o'clock. This release causes the ball to have a lot of spin. It sometimes causes what we call a spinner. This means the bowling ball is spinning like a top. It also has very little ball to lane surface contact. This means the bowling ball will not have much hook or drive as it rolls down the bowling lane. When it hits the bowling pins it may hit dead with not much action. (Note: this is also called the 90 degree axis rotation).</div>

<em><span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></em></div>
<i><span style="color: #274e13;">Lots of groups are now forming their own bowling league-why not you? In the past we have provided many different league opportunities to you-but we forgot to ask what you wanted, shame on us! Here’s your chance to do it your way.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #274e13;">You form a league of your own with friends, family, co workers or members of an organization that you’re a member of. You decide the time of day, day of week, number of sessions that you want to bowl. Then tell us how often you want to bowl weekly, bi-weekly or once a month. We’ll just provide the lanes for you.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #274e13;">Finally you will have a league you can enjoy with all the benefits you want including a great social activity and a FUN time with friends. Because this is your league you tell us the rules and how much time you want to spend with us.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #274e13;">Leagues can be formed with as few as 8 bowlers (4 Teams of 2). An extra benefit of bowling in a league with only a couple bowlers on each team sessions can be limited to 90 minutes or less too – no longer do you need to mark the entire night/day off your schedule.</span></i><br />

<span style="color: blue;">Bowling Tips: 3-6-9 Spare System</span></h3>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">A very important key to improving your bowling scores is learning to convert spares effectively. If you are a beginning bowler or one who is averaging 130 or less currently and wish to improve your spare shooting capabilities, then learning the <strong>bowling 3-6-9 spare system</strong> will certain help. The <strong>bowling 3-6-9 spare system </strong>is one which has been around the game for literally decades of time and is extremely easy to learn and to implement.<br /><br />First, it is vital to establish a initial strike alignment method and then base your spare adjustments off of your strike target line. In most <a href="http://www.bowlingball.com/find-a-bowling-center.php" title="Locate Bowling Centers">bowling centers</a>, the house lane condition allows bowlers to line up somewhere around the second arrow or tenth board from the edges of the lane (right side for right handed bowlers, left side for left handed bowlers). Also, bowlers will typically place their sliding <a href="http://www.bowlingball.com/bowling-shoes.html" title="Bowling Shoes">bowling shoe</a> on or near the center guide dot on the approach, which corresponds to the 20 (twenty) board or the center board. <br /></span><br />
<div style="float: left; padding-right: 15px;">
</div>
<span style="color: blue;">Placing the instep of the sliding bowling shoe (left shoe for right handed bowlers) covering the 18 board with the instep of the shoe will position the outside of your bowling shoulder aligned with of the 10 board (2nd arrow). An initial alignment usually means targeting or spotting the 10 board, or very near that 10 board, (perhaps at the 8 or 9 board or even the 11 board depending how straight your ball travels or how much it hooks) at the targeting arrows about 15 feet beyond the foul line.<br /><br />The <strong>bowling 3-6-9 spare system </strong>is based off of lateral adjustments either right or left of the initial strike alignment positioning with your feet on the approach. One simple factor must be remembered in properly aligning to spares:<br /><br />For spares on the right side of the lane, move your feet left. For spares on the left side of the lane, move your feet right. Use your strike target for spares. It is that easy.<br /><br />It helps to first learn and understand the bowling pin formations on the pin deck and how to identify the pins by their numbers. The key pin in any spare combination is the one nearest you.<br /><br />The following are positioning adjustments on the approach for the key pin in formation and for using your strike target in the 3-6-9 spare system:<br /><br />For the 2 pin, move right 3 boards<br /><br />For the 4 pin, move right 6 boards<br /><br />For the 7 pin, move right 9 boards<br /><br />For the 3 pin, move left 3 boards<br /><br />For the 6 pin, move left 6 boards<br /><br />For the 10 pin, move left 9 boards<br /><br />Here are a few tips for using this spare system successfully:<br /><br />1. When adjusting your feet either left or right on the approach depending on the key pin left standing on the pin deck, point your toes of your <a href="http://www.bowlingball.com/Category.php?CategoryID=173" title="Bowling Shoes Packages">bowling shoes </a>very slightly toward the key pin of your spare. This will influence your hips and bowling shoulder slightly to face the pin squarely so releasing the <a href="http://www.bowlingball.com/bowling-balls.html" title="Bowling Balls">bowling ball</a> to your same strike target remains an easy task. During your approach, try and maintain your hips and shoulder facing the key pin or pins left standing. <br /><br />2, If you are a right handed bowler (opposite for left handed bowlers) and you hook the ball modestly or perhaps quite even a bit, then we recommend for the 10 pin spare that you move to the far corner of the approach and use the the center arrow (or just to the right of the center arrow (4th arrow)) for the ten pin spare. Point the toes of your bowling shoes toward the ten pin but try to maintain a straight walking path to the foul line.<br /><br />3. If your 3-6-9 adjustments are not enough of an angle change because of the lane oiling condition, then it is very acceptable to modify your system to a 4-8-12 system or perhaps even a 5-10-15 system so the adjustments change your delivery angle sufficiently to convert the spare so long as you use your same strike line target for each spare combination.<br /><br />4. Using the same strike alignment target for spares is important because if you are aligned properly to the pocket, then the lane condition actually assists your ball motion similarly for spares as for strike deliveries.<br /><br />5. Avoid drifting left or right with your steps from your adjusted starting position on the approach for any spare delivery. Try to walk a straight line based on your adjusted positioning of your bowling shoes on the approach for strike and spare deliveries alike.<br /><br />6. Deliver your bowling ball the best you can at the same ball speed you use for strike deliveries. Avoid trying to roll the ball harder than you practice as you may not effectively control the ball path to the spare.<br /><br />7. Use a polyester or <a href="http://www.bowlingball.com/bowling-bags.html?CategoryID=4&Manufacturer=Pyramid" title="Pyramid Path bowling balls">plastic bowling ball </a>for corner pin spares if the ball you choose for strike deliveries hooks too much and you are having difficulties holding the line to the spare. A spare ball can be very useful in converting the challenging corner pin spares.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Try these helpful beginner bowling tips for kids and enjoy more strikes and higher scores.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #660000;"> Choose a good pair of bowling shoes that fit</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /> Bowling centers require everyone participating to use bowling shoes. They will rent bowling shoes to you, and it’s a good idea to make sure the shoes fit right because it’s a challenge to keep your balance when bowling. Approaches can be slippery because bowling shoes have leather soles and are designed to slide. Since the rental bowling shoes cost a few dollars every time you go bowling, you may want to buy a pair for a few dollars more. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #660000;"> Select a bowling ball that fits</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><br /></b> When I was a kid my first custom bowling ball was very special. I remember how it fit so good and allowed me to bowl with less effort. Even if you don’t have your own ball, try to find one at the bowling center that really fits. The right fit enhances a bowlers ability to control the direction and speed of the bowling shot. Consider a custom drilled beginner bowling ball.</span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"><b> Choose a bowling ball weighted “just right”</b><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Choose a bowling ball not too heavy and not too light. A bowling ball too light won’t knock as many pins over as a heavier one. Kids that are smaller often struggle to throw a bowling ball that is too heavy and can easily lose control of their shot. A “just right” bowling ball weight gives a child the right combination of control and power into the pins.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;"><b> Use bowling lane arrows when aiming</b><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Bowling beginners often just look at the pins when throwing their shot. Bowling lanes have arrows about fifteen feet past the foul line that are much easier to hit. That is the reason the arrows are there, for aiming. Every fifth board there is an arrow and they are typically used for aiming and to make adjustments.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;"><b> Use the bowling approach markers</b><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">The approach markers are helpful to the bowler because the allow you to begin your a bowling approach in precisely the same position. This combined with the lane arrows is an effective method for aiming and even a beginner can become consistent very rapidly. You can also adjust the length of your approach allowing you to finish near but not over the foul line.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;"><b> Start far enough up on the bowling approach</b><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Many beginners make the mistake of finishing too far behind the foul by several feet making the game harder in a couple of ways. The lane is already sixty feet long so adding a few feet obviously makes it harder. Also, the approach doesn’t have oil on it and the lane does, if you have any kind of hook on the bowling ball it will hook instantly when released onto the approach and not onto the lane itself.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #660000;"> Learn basic bowling timing</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><br /></b> Bowling can be a difficult game. Learning to aim, timing the bowling approach, and adjusting to mistakes make it a big challenge. The ability to throw the bowling ball in the same direction every shot depends on consistent timing. Typical bowling timing uses a five step approach, although beginning kids may want to use a four step approach because it may be a little easier for them.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #660000;"> Use bowling bumpers for very young children</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><br /></b> Very small children have difficulty keeping the ball on the lane until it hits the pins. Most bowling centers have some kind of bumper that bounces the ball back onto the lane and guarantees that the child will hit some pins. It is a much more exciting experience for the child.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #660000;"> Don’t go past the foul line</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><br /></b> This is obviously a rule of bowling, but another reason for this bowling tip is safety. The bowling center puts oil on the lanes to protect them among other reasons. This oil is incredibly slippery and has caused many accidents for the unsuspecting beginner bowler.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #660000;"> Bowl when it’s your turn and not before</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><br /></b> Wait for the lane on either side of your lane to be clear of bowlers. Another safety tip and also a general courtesy to bowlers on the lanes next to your bowling lane.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #660000;"> Consider joining a junior bowling league</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><b><br /></b> Learning to bowl with others is one of the fastest ways to improve. The competitive spirit in a league can drive kids to learn from everyone around them and usually the bowling center will have a junior coach that can help out.</span><br />

I first must tell you I am not a scientist or a ball designer. I am always learning as are you. I am sure some of you have wondered what does some of the numbers on a bowling ball technical sheet mean and how does it affect me, the bowler. Why do I need to know it anyway. First I must address cover stocks and cores. The cover stock is like the tires on a car and the core is like the engine. These two things are what influence the bowling ball motion. You choose a bowling ball to match your style and the lane conditions you bowl on. Because of so many different style bowlers and bowling lane conditions, the ball companies make different types of balls, and are trying to make a ball that will sell. So that is why you see these numbers on a balls specs. sheet. Also, the USBC rates them to have a tolerance.</span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">RG-</span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">RG means Radius Of Gyration. The RG of a bowling ball tells you how soon the core is designed to roll. The lower the RG, the sooner the ball is designed to roll. The lowest allowed by the USBC is 2.43 the highest is RG 2.80. (USBC could change the rule anytime).</span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">The RG Differential (also called just DIFFERENTIAL) -</span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">This indicates the difference between the low RG and the high RG. The Differential indicates the potential for track flare which can be translated into hook potential. The higher the differential, the more hook potential the core possesses. The RG differential indicates the difference between the low RG and the high RG. The maximum differential allowed by the USBC is 0.060.Don’t get this confused with intermediate differential because that is different. This is used in asymmetrical bowling balls to measure the spin time of the bowling ball before drilling.</span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Note: All numbers on the spec. sheets are before drilling and that is an important factor as the numbers then change.</span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Ok this is what RG Differential and RG mean. But, the biggest influence in bowling ball motion is the surface of the ball and the force and direction of the bowler’s release. In addition, the condition of the bowling lane must also be taken into consideration...</span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;
