Question
sometimes when my ball hits the pocket it doesn't have enough power to carry out out the 4,5,7 could you tell me the solution??

Answer
Paul,
What kind of ball? What weight? I will assume you throw a house ball. House balls are smooth, hard and shiny (usually). It sounds like the ball is hitting the pocket and losing contact with the surface of the lane and sliding (deflection) to the right past the 5.

Try to get a little more angle on the pocket (1-3) and try to get a little higher hit. If you have your own ball, try cleaning the surface, then wipe the ball after each shot. Try to keep the surface as free of oil as possible.

Let me know if the suggestions help. Thanks for the question. Good luck.
