  • How to Make Spares

    How to Make Spares

    How To Make Spares There is an old saying amongst bowlers "make spares and the strikes will take care of themselves." This is sound advice. After all, you can bowl as high as 190 without ever bowling a strike! In Tenpin Bowling the idea is to knock over as many pins as possible with your first ball, if the first ball is not a strike you're going to leave pins standing. No spare is easy to convert but there are very few that cannot be picked up with a well-placed ball. To become a good spare bowler takes practice, you must first develop a good and consistent armswing and approach, then become familiar with the angles on the lane and maintain a good shoulder position. These are the fundamentals of good spare bowlers. Accuracy is the secret to good spare bowling and accuracy can be achieved only by constant practice. With each game your eye will become more adept at "hitting" the exact spot to convert your spares. Practice will have your arm obeying your eye with increasing frequency. Even "Splits" which are where you have a wide gap between pins are the most difficult to make, but even some splits will be converted to spares as your consistency improves. Many beginner bowlers try and throw as many strikes as possible and when they miss they are careless with their spare ball. A beginner bowler will not put that much thought into the "spare ball" as they would the strike ball; therefore their scores are generally low. When all is done and the game is over a couple of minutes of calculating will tell you how important it is to pick up spares.

  • The Secret to Bowling Is to Pick up Your Spares

    The Secret to Bowling Is to Pick up Your Spares

    The secret to bowling is to pick up your spares. The following is written from a right-hander's perspective. Left-handers should be able to adapt the following advice for themselves. Single pin spares: Which spare offers the biggest target in bowling? The answer is: the 1-pin (also known as the head pin). Other single pins are slightly farther away from the bowler, and offer slightly smaller targets. Larger spares, like the 2-4-5 are much smaller targets, because not only do you have to hit the front pin (roughly the same size target as the 1-pin) but some of those hits will leave one of the pins standing. The size of the target, in the case of a single pin, is roughly the width of the ball plus the width of the pin. This is a large target. And the main factor which determines how often you pick up a given spare is the size of the target. Bowling is a game of percentages. The question is not whether you will pick up this spare, but how can you pick it up more often. The 10-pin: For right-handed bowlers, the 10-pin is a smaller target than any other single pin spare. The reason is that the ball will drop into the gutter on some shots which would normally hit the pin. Shooting cross- alley (from the far left as in the diagram) is vital, to increase the size of the target. Also, throwing a big hook at the 10-pin (or any single-pin spare, in my opinion) is foolish.
