Anyone got tips on spare practice? How can I get more practice on just spares.

I can't believe there is a curling category and not bowling!!! What is up with that?!?!?\n\nAnyway, help on your spares....This would be good for you too scrappy. Of course you want strikes, always. There is no secret for leaving easy spares. You leave what you leave. You work on spare shots. If you know people in high places (or work in the bowling alley ;-D) you can set up spares yourself.\n\nIf not, here's what you do. Corner pins are the hardest single pin conversion. More specifically, the ten pin for righties, the seven for lefties. Instead of throwing your ball at the pocket on your first ball, practicing shooting the ten pin. Never mind that it's a full rack...just shoot the ten. On you second ball, you can either choose to shoot the pocket for a conversion, or practice on the seven pin.\n\nRemember, just because you have a full rack standing, doesn't mean you have to knock them all down! Another good idea is forget keeping score. It only plays with your mind. Just get out there and through some good shots. \n\nIf you have problems converting the ten pin, here's my suggestion. You need to learn to be able to read oil patterns in lanes. This takes years...be patient. But you need to be comfortable in looking everywhere on the lane. When reading oil patterns on a first ball, I always start my shot on the 10 board at the arrows and adjust from there. \n\nFor spares, I do something a little different. When I shoot anything on the left side, I look about three boards to the right of the pin on the curtain on the machine. I know my ball is going to break and pick up that single.\n\nFor anything on the right side, particularly the ten, I look at about 2 inches in front of the pin and focus in on the shadow of the pin....and I throw that ball as hard and as fast and as straight as I can. \n\nI hope this helps you a little bit. If there's anything else you'd like advice on, feel free to email me. gojenni714@yahoo.com

I would train as usual because the more worked up you get the worse you play. Don't put it in full mode practicing. Just practice about half an hour more than you usually do. No need to get all worked up about it.

Use a book for beginners and do a lot of practicing. You can get some of the books at any book store. If you still can't find them, then go onto Yahoo.com or Google.com and type in what your looking for on  the web part.

Respectfully ask the coach for a private appointment and ask him if he can tell you why he didn't make the cut.  \n\nAsk him for pointers, tips, help and if you can still participate in practices as you would like to improve so that you are maybe played later int he season.

First off, I highly reccomomend lessons, you start teaching yourself, youor going to pick up bad habits...\n\nIn the meanwhile, to give you a general idea...  Keep your thumb at about 10-11 oclock (for righties), I usually stand with my right foot on middle dot (the 2nd set closer to lanes), and aim at the 3rd dot(first set on lanes)...  I don't use the arrows anymore, I used to stand at the right and use 2nd arrow.... Its all about preference and finding what works for you.. The dots I found out are closer to you, therefore giving you an easier target and less room for error...  And by standing in the midddle more I learned to maximize the hook...\n\nAgain take lessons and experiment what works for you.... Have fun...

doubt i'm as good as you but here is my little advice. you can try to master the kick to attack the head. a jumping backswing is good. but you have to be stable and firm and keep the attck as consistent as you can.

Try to call someone advance to practice with you and learn how to intercept pass and stuff,and also try shooting from a close range at first and gradually get futher and futher as u improve

um boneless? i dont really do them much but i can think of a few things you could do. if you wanna finger flip grab the board at the nose when you pop your bonelesss or what ever. make sure you grab it with your 4 fingers on the grip and the thumb on the underside. feels weird but pretty easy to make flip. so just flip it and jump on. no complys are pretty cool but kinda hard. you dont actually grab the board but you can take a foot off to pop your board. there are many ways to do like old school kickflips. one that i find pretty easy is with your hand. ok your ridin your board and you put your front foot on the ground and pop your board w/ your back foot. when the board pops up smack the side with your hand and it should flip. cavemans? um go caveman a rail. thats fun kinda scary but yea. um you can like caveman fingerflip manual. i can do them but my friend can. just like run up to the manual pad and do a fingerflip on to it but you gotta land in a manual and thats where i always fall. they are kinda cool. ha good luck doin anything mullen can. that dudes nuts. 720 double flips. like 2 360 flips in one. crazyness. double flip rewinds. you can prolly learn how to do some casper flips and stuff but i think  that stuffs gay. unless you do it moving. like a casper slide on a box. that would be cool. i dont kno anyone who can do those besides mullen. maybe daewon song.

Practice makes perfect. That's all you can do...just keep doing that and eventually you will get faster and faster.

Be at less than an angle, more like 75%. Don't forget to use the PADS of your fingers.\n\nGood luck and happy playing!

Use the inside of your foot, by your arch.  Practice practice practice! Also, if you just need more difficulty to ramp up your game, try doing what you normally do, but with a softball on concrete. Just be careful not to step on it and have it roll out from underneath you and knock you flat. It hurts, I should know.
