Reading the Pins: What They Can Tell Us About Our Bowling Game
Improving your bowling game requires understanding pin behavior, such as why certain pins remain standing after a roll. The immediate interaction involves only a few pins (1, 3, 5, and 9 for right-handers; 1, 2, 5, and 8 for left-handers). The types of pins left (e.g., pin 5, 9, or 10) indicate different issues—from ball weight and rotation to entry angle into the pocket. Adjusting these factors can help achieve a better score, emphasizing the importance of quickly diagnosing and addressing the cause of standing pins.
