It's surprising how many veteran bowlers have never learned the right way to play spares. They go on year after year doing the
wrong thing, and if told they are doing it wrong, they sometimes reply, "Why, I never play that shot any other way. I can make it from this angle better than from the one you say is correct."
The trouble with this sort of argument is that the player has forgotten the number of times he failed to make the spare. He could increase his average several points a game if he really went at his spare shooting scientifically.
There are three specific rules for shooting at any spare. If you follow them faithfully, you cannot fail to better your game, and you will enjoy your game more because of the undeniable thrill of accomplishment. Here are the three rules:
a. Face your target from the correct angle. Square your shoulders to the target.
b. Walk directly toward your target. In the cases of the 7-pin and the 10-pin, this means walking directly toward that pin, which will cause you to go to the foul line at a slight angle.
c. Make sure that you have your right arm following through directly toward your target. Get your right arm out to where you are looking, whether this be a pin or a spot.
If you do all three right, you will probably hit the spare dead center. If you do only two of these right, you may still make the spare because of the diameter of the ball. If you do only one right, probably you will miss the spare. And if you don't do any of these right, put your ball and shoes away.
