Picking Up Spares Part III



(a)RIGHT-HAND SIDE
(Using Straight Ball__________)
(Using Hook Ball ---------------)



1-3-6-10 Pins
A straight ball bowled across should run down touching all pins. A hook ball relies upon the 6 pin taking out the 10 pin.

3-6-10 Pins
Both balls if aimed for the right side of the 3 pin should take out all three unless the 6 pin beats it to the 10 pin.

10 Pin
A difficult spare for the right hander, particularly with a hook ball - stay out of the gutter but makes sure you do not hook too much - practice makeing the spare

3-10 Pins (The Baby Spliet)
If the angle is right and you hit the right hand side of the 3 pin, the ball should deflect and carry the 10 pin.

3-5-6-9 Pins (Right Hand Bucket)
Both the hook and the straight ball should finish almost straight onto the 3 pin, the hook ball slightly more to the right.
