What you are doing is adding move revs to your ball, that explains why it crossed over to the 1-2 pocket. I was talking about ball speed. Throw the ball however it feels natural to you and then just move your feet to adjust for the target.
Good luck!

just when i thought i found my strike, something has gone different on the lane tonight. struggled the entire 1st game to find the right position again. i was hitting somewhere between 3-4. tried changing positions and target but in the end, i should have stuck to the same target moving my starting position right, like i thought i already know. so in the end of the 1st game, i found it, right foot on board 7/8, the lay and the cross on board 7/8.

at least the good news is that i accomplished my first target: a 200 game. the 2nd game was perfect, by this i mean no open frames. got only 5 strikes, 2 pairs and a loner.

full concentration on the 2nd game must have exhausted me. after concentrating hard on the spares, and the relief of accomplishing my first target, the 3rd game was a disaster. i noticed on the last frame that my wrist is already breaking. causing a helicopter like spin on my ball.

131, 209, 122.

my next target should be consistency on all three games of the leauge.

SnitGTS, not to be a smart aleck but just for general information, the tilt of the earth's axis is 23 and 1/2 degrees.

[if i stand on the first dot, do a straight approach and have the ball roll on the first arrow, my ball consistently ends on the 1-2 pocket when it hooks. i'm right handed. where is the best place to start my approach to have the ball hit the 1-3 pocket?] "a4ace"

Hello fellow Bowling fans. May I suggest "a4ace" that you purchase the Dick Ritger VHS tape. He goes into great detail about lane play, specifically where your first ball hits and how to make adjustment based on that ball information. Happy Bowling! http://www.300bowl.com/
