This discounts spares and sends the strong message that they’re not important.
If you are working on keeping your balance or hitting your target or making sure
you follow through, then work on those things. You don’t only keep your balance
or follow through or hit your target on strike shots, do you? Every time you
re-rack a apare you are telling yourself that they are not as important as strikes
shots (when actually they are more important), you can’t make up a missed spare.
The Pros call a missed spare a “hole” and this unacceptable. There are those
people who think they can strike enough to make up a missed spare, but you
never get back that missed count.
