Yes, the colored
tape works very well (I personally use black electrical
tape). Please check with your lane's proprietor before putting
tape on the lane! Also, when you use the
tape, it may be better to put the
tape across the boards first. Example: you want to pracrice hitting the 8 board. Put the
tape across boards 7, 8 and 9, giving you a one board margin of error. As you get better hitting target, gradually go from putting the
tape across the boards to putting the
tape lengthwise with the boards, bringing yourself to one board to hit.
