Bowling Tip Picking Up Spare

I want to share with you a bowling tip picking up spare shot. This shot can really help you out on picking up the spare. This shot is called the pocket hit.

Not an uncommon leave is the 1-3-6-9-10, which often is the result of a ball that hooked too soon, or was directed too far to the left.

In shooting at these pins, move to the left side of the approach, and try to place the ball in the 1-3 pocket. This angle takes full advantage of the width of the ball.

The ball will strike the 1-pin a glancing blow on the right side, and drive the 3-pin against the 6-pin, the 6-pin in turn knocking down the 10-pin. The ball continues on through to carry away the 9-pin.

This procedure should be followed with the 1-3-9 and the 1-3-6. Also shooting the 1-3 leave from the left-hand side of the approach cuts down the chances of a chop or cherry pick.

A cherry pick has ruined many a good shot. Try this bowling tips picking up spare shot and you’ll be very surprised at the results.
