I can't wait to go practice this! Thanks for the tips and guidance!
Absolutely. Let us know how it goes.
Great info. Thanks so much!
Good stuff guys! Nice to hear other peoples thoughts and their reasons why of spare picking. Thanks it's given me a couple of ideas that may help improve my game. Thanks again.
Thanks again for watching. Glad we could provide some extra ways to experiment with.
Great tips to help you improve your spare game!
Thank you, and thanks for watching.
good info. I still struggle being consistent throwing it straight. Gonna try the suitcase grip. thanks
Remember to release the fingers, don't lift. Do that and you should find some success. Thanks for watching.
I do the exact same thing to pick up my 10 pins! Stand on 30 & aim between 3rd and 4th arrow. In addition to the ball return getting in the way, I also find it less stressful than going completely across the lane (ex: standing on 35 or 40 and aiming at 4th arrow). I have some depth perception issues, and the 4th arrow always looks like it's a mile away from me, so I have difficulty hitting it accurately. I also use the 3rd arrow for my left side spares.
Thanks for watching, and for sharing.
Out of indignance and my best bowling buddy moving, I started to shoot a backup ball at my spares. Even shooting straight at my 10 pins im maybe a 40% spare conversion rate
A backup can work just fine. Just need practice for consistency, and a strategy for targeting and moves based on what the spare is. Keep at it. Thanks for watching.
Wearing useless k tape...
I generally have a 2nd piece wrapped around the wrist, but forgot to add it. I got distracted setting up the cameras. The 1 piece alone isn't doing much, but both actually have a HUGE impact for my arthritis in my wrist.
