Had a rough week last Friday night. The 1st game was mediocre, and then I had spare problems again during the 2nd game. The 3rd game, I put away my high performance ball, and broke out my vis-a-ball. I moved my feet to the 22 board, and changed my target to the 1st arrow, and wound up rolling a 199 for the last game. For the night, I rolled a 167, 130 and a 199 for a 496 series. It only brought my average down one pin to a 171.
I practiced my spare shooting today, and created a cheat sheet for my spares. Just moving my feet a specific number of boards off of my strike line (using my straight delivery) doesn't seem to work with my left hand. Part of the problem may be that my approach is going straight toward my target, so moving my feed doesn't make as big as a difference. Below is where I am standing on the approach and what my target is.
(Remembering that I am bowling left handed now)
10 pin - 25 board, 4th arrow
3 pin - 30 board, 4th arrow
2 pin - 32 board, 3rd arrow
7 pin - 32 board, 2nd arrow
For the 6 pin, I stand in the same spot as when I am shooting at the 10 pin, but my target is just to the left of the 4th arrow. And pretty much the same adjustment for the 4 pin, I stand on the 32 board, and my target is between the 2nd and 3rd arrow.
We will see how that works this week. I hope it helps. Got my 1st tournament coming up pretty quick.
