Question
i throw my spare ball at my 7 pin and only pick it about 50% of the time.  i throw it with no revs and over the 20th board standing on 27th board.  most of the time when i miss it's because i miss inside even though i hit my mark.  what would be a better line for me to throw straight at the 7 pin?

Answer
One reason you may miss on the inside is due to the amount of oil in the middle of the lane.  This will cause the ball to slide much more. (on a normal league condition).

I would think you would need to move your target to the left to allow for the extra oil, or use your strike ball so it will grab the lane a little bit.

Good luck,
