erm like is it to the point where the ball's hook potential is maxed out? meaning that, is that angle and speed it can come in? the fastest speed or reaction when it hits the dry part of the lanes...

er and the angularity is like er the acuteness of the angle of the ball when it reaches its breakpoint

hook potential and angularity differs from company to company

basically its just a bunch of numbers telling u the bigger the number the more it will hook in layman's term as it easier to understand

when i say max out the ball it means the ball will be drilled for the biggest hook available

dats weird... from what i know, a perfect strike is when the ball hits the pocket (1-3 for RH), goes in and take out pin 3, then pin 5, and finally pin 9. the rest of the pins will be hit by dominoe effect (e.g. head pin takes out pin 2, then pin 2 hits pin 4, then pin 4 hits pin 7). so if your ball enters the pocket nicely, pin 5 and 9 should not be standing. the possible reason might be: ball too light or ball speed too slow, hence, was deflected when it enters the pocket. this is very common with spinners as they carry light weight balls.

i hope i'm right.

the more common pins left standing is pin 7 and pin 10 for RH hook bowlers. next will prolly be pin 8 or pin 6.

oppx... ok... then use a mirror image of the things i've said.

in this case, pin 9 left standing is well.... quite common lah.

this is due to the ball having not enuff speed and impact upon entering the pocket
