Spare Ball, why should we use a spare ball? The big hooking balls that we all own these days can make it very difficult to pick up spares. Therefore we need a second ball that will go
stright. It should be a mild reactive, urethane or plastic ball depending on how straight you would like it to go. I use a white dot and it dose very will. Plastic is the most popular amongst the PBA
players.
When getting an over/under reaction. That is too much hook when missing a little right,
and not enough hook when missing left. One of my fellow bowlers said try using a green
scotch bright pad on your ball just enough to remove the shine. I need to check the rule
to see if this can be done during play? I have not tried this, but I will, my understanding is it well
mellow the reaction and give you a more consistent shot.
Keeping Your Eye On The Target. This is one of the most difficult things for me to do.
Keeping your eye on your target I know it is very important from start to finish will
eliminate many inconsistencies in the approach. You would be surprised how difficult it is to do three times in a row, let alone a league night or tournament, but remember start to finish without losing sight of it is the key to high scores.
