Senior Bowlers: Do This Japanese Trick to Pick Up the 10 Pin EVERY TIME

The spare system, drills and practice cards from this video, written out properly — Spare Shooter and The Senior Bowling Library: https://kenjibowlingpro.com/?b=3&v=pick-up... The 10 pin is two problems wearing the same white coat: the one you leave on a good pocket hit, and the one you have to shoot on your second ball. In this video Kenji, who grew up bowling in Japan and now coaches league bowlers over sixty, explains what an old house bowler back home meant when he said "your ball was arriving asleep", and walks through five small fixes and one key for the corner pin. Your ball and your delivery stay exactly as they are. In this video: Why nobody makes the 10 pin every time (even the pros), and what "every time" can honestly mean for you Fix 1: read your 10 pin: watch the 6 pin to tell a flat 10 from a ringing 10 Fix 2: wake your strike ball up for the pocket (moving a little deeper into the oil, the surface of the ball, and what to do if your ball barely hooks) Fix 3: look before you throw: pins set off their spot, dead wood, and one practice ball at the 10 before league (with a study of one 200 bowler from the University of Tsukuba, Japan) Fix 4: let it sleep for the corner: why a right-hander's own hook runs away from the 10, the flat hand and the plastic ball Fix 5: start from the far side: crossing the lane and how to pick your own arrow For the body that has changed: a knee that will not slide, a stiff shoulder, a weak grip, plus an optional drill for tonight at home The key: leave your hand on the pin (and why most 10 pin misses go inside) The books: four volumes for bowlers over fifty — Clean Release, Easy Strikes, Spare Shooter and Bowl Easy (only in the complete Library).

Everything is described for a right-handed bowler; left-handers mirror it (your corner pin is the 7 instead of the 10). "EVERY TIME" in the title means a reliable plan for the 10 pin, not a promise that you will never miss it. Figures quoted in the video come from published sources: Ben Blatt's analysis of pro tour frames (Slate), the United States Bowling Congress (entry angle and the 2008 ball motion study), Storm Bowling on 10 pin leaves, the PBA league playing rules, and Tanaka, Sasai and Ohyama, University of Tsukuba (2010). Rules on respotting can vary by league: if in doubt, ask your league official. Educational content: no particular score or average is promised, and nothing here is medical advice. If you have knee, hip, shoulder, back or heart problems, check with your doctor before changing how you bowl. Anything you try at home: dry shoes, a floor that does not slide, something solid to hold on to, nothing in your hand.
