2-4-5 leave, however, is different, and the way I play it may surprise a lot of bowlers.
The 2-4-5 leave usually results when a ball coming into the 1-3 pocket doesn't quite finish, and a very light pocket hit is recorded. The main purpose in shooting at the spare is to prevent a cherry pick or chop.


If I were to shoot this spare in the conventional manner (from the right side), I could fall easily into such an error, for the ball is likely to strike the 2-pin full and to carry through, picking up only the 4-pin, and leaving the 5-pin still standing. So, instead of widening the angle, I try to cover the spare as much as possible.
The 2-pin is the key pin here, and it can be hit from either side. In order to give myself the best possible angle at which to count, I move to the left side of the approach, knowing that this permits my hook to come in on the 2-pin at the best covering angle.
This procedure should be used on such leaves as the 2-5, the 2-5-8, and the 2-4-5-8, the latter known as the "dinner bucket."
