Generally speaking, you should shoot your spares from the opposite side of the approach, from the left if the standing pins are to the right of the headpin, and from the right if the remaining pins are to the left.(see diagram below)
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 sport to convert your spares. Practice will have your arm obeying your eye with increasing frequency. "Splits"-where you have a wide gap between pins-are most difficult to make, but even splits will be converted to spares as your consistency improves.
