Answer
        PRACTICE---PRACTICE---PRACTICE
THAT DEVELOPS  CONSISTENCY.SIMPLIFY YOUR GAME.NO SIDE MOTION TO WAIST STRENGTH & POTENTIAL FOR VERY BAD HABITS.ONLY MOVEMENT FOREWARD & BACK. NOTHING SIDE TO SIDE.
AT A 160 AVERAGE , THE # 1 THING & THE BEST ONE THAT WILL HELP YOU THRU ALL THE LEARNING STAGES IS "GET A GOOD STRAIGHT BALL FOR SPARES & PRACTICE THEM ALLWAYS.YOUR 15 MINUTES OF WARM UP BEFORE LEAGUE SHOULD CONSIST OF 5 MINUTE OF WARM UP, THEN 5 MINUTES OF SPARES(7 PIN,10 PIN)THE LAST FIVE IS FORE 3 DIFFERENT LINES TO THE POCKET.MAINLY DOWN FIRST ARROW,CENTER TO 2ND ARROW & DEEP TO 3RD ARROW.
 AT 160, SPARES NOW! STRIKES LATER!
THE SPARE BALL SHOULD BE A HARD PLASTIC OR EVEN A HARD RUBBER GRIP DRILLED EXACTLY LIKE YOUR STRIKE BALL MAYBE SAME WEIGHT OR EVEN A POUND LIGHTER TO HELP GO STRAIGHTER WITH SPEED.
YOU NEED TO CONCENTRATE HITTING THE 1-3 POCKET WITH THE STRIKE BALL NOT MINDING IF IT DOESN'T STRIKE BUT LEAVING AN EASY SPARE.THEN THROW YOUR SPARE BALL STRAIGHT & WITHOUT HEAVY POWER. YOU ONLY NEED TO TOUCH THE SPARE PIN OR PINS TO MAKE THE SPARE.THIS WILL UP YOUR AVERAGE 7-15 STICKS .

ONCE YOU ARE MAKING 8 OF 10 SPARES, THEN WE WILL TALK ABOUT STRIKES.
