Question
I shoot spares with my strike ball, but use a plastic ball for right side leave such as a ten pin or a 9/10 or 6/10.  I throw cross lane and usually aim at the third arrow.  I still miss too many.  I miss both right and left.

Answer
If you dont weaken your release, I suggest you work on that.  Walter Ray uses a plastic ball and still rolls it end over end to make it go as straight as possible.  He rarely misses.   Also, dont throw the ball harder than normal.  One of the mistakes that even the best bowlers make is to try and throw the ball too hard, and therefore, they miss spares needlessly.

Good luck,
