Bowling Spares Reward Your Strikes
By: bowlingball.com, 11/13/15
As an experienced and advanced player, you know with complete certainty that bowling spares reward your strikes.
Of course, stringing strikes is the objective when trying to record high scores but it is in the reduction of open frames which make those strings of strikes really count.
Every great bowler knows that carelessness when shooting spares, particularly routine one-pin spares, can be a back breaker in scoring and harm your chances at winning when competing in important leagues or tournaments.
No one really wants to do the hard work, the boring and tedious work, of practicing spare shooting and developing a system for any spare combination you can use successfully on literally any lane condition.
Practicing spare shooting is no real thrill and can be boring at best.
It is much easier and more fun to roll for the pocket in practice seeking strings of strikes.
If you leave a spare standing and simply press the pinsetter reset button and get a new, full rack of pins, you may be doing an injustice to your spare shooting.
What happens when you take spare shooting for granted? The bowling spirits punish you just as soon as you are in a meaningful competition, you miss an easy spare, and it ends up costing you money.
When you do not have a great deal of time to practice and prepare for competition, you must pay attention to every shot, spares particularly. Since you do not have the luxury of bowling several times a week preparing for your leagues or tournaments, you had better make every shot count.
Develop a sound and reliable system for spares and become adept at shooting spares.
If you have not yet discovered, it is an imperative to become a great spare shooter if you want to reach your goals and the high standard of performance you seek.
Spare shooting is an integral part of being the best bowler you are capable of becoming.
The chief point of this article is to remind you not to take spares for granted and make sure you pay attention to each shot, each spare, and use your best system for alignment for any spare combination you might encounter.
Don’t forget that bowling spares reward your strikes.
