Whats your thoughts of often bowling in 9pin tap~Usually during 9pin tap funbowl, once we hit 9 pins down consider a Strike, so seldom of sparing chances unless 8 or lesses pins are being knocked down...
If we participant frequently in 9pin tap, do you think if will affect your skill in sparing... Do you agree? Yes or No and Why?
Wana to get oponions from all bowlers if any...but dun tell me your ans is "depends on individual" lah..

It will not affect unless the bowler all along just bowl 9 pin tap. I do like 9 pin tap.. it's like bookie time for me.. lol =x shh gambling is bad. lol.. But as long as the bowler does bowl in league and train for league, bowling in 9 pin tap is just like a funbowl to destress I don't think it will affect the sparing ability of the bowler.

Reasonable answer...I do come across a bowler she often bowl 9pin tap in kim seng/yishun..she always got $$ in position...i came vs her last mth, she got lots of 9pin imagine all 8frames is 9pin..so i told her that her scoring is so nice all the 9 9 9 9...she told me cos she always bowl in 9pin tap...Kool..

My another qtn is... does is occur to other bowlers too? How about you?

To me yes. If you never practice in sparring those pins that you are not confident in like right hand hook bowlers sometimes fear unable to spare pin10, you might be having problem if you don't do that frequently. Every pin got their own line to bowl as such, practicing those 1pin sparing is very important. Miss 1pin, you are just as good as a beginer.

yea practice on 1 pin sparing is important lo..but 9pins tap..i nv try leh..hitting 9 pins = strike..lidat the last pin you got no chance to try and hit?

its 9pin tap, if u knocked all 9pins...of course the balance 1pin no chance to spare..unless u hit lesser than 9pins..then u got chance to try spare..

Storm

9pin tap trains accuracy ...cos u need to be consistent in gettign the ball into the pocket to get 9pins or strike...
but brings down your rate of sparing cos u get 9pins u dun need to spare

Hi Storm, I don't think pocket is a must in 9pin tap. The main thing is getting your head pin (pin 1) as it's the messenger pin. It can cover a few other pins and as such, The ball must be able to hit the head pin 1st. 1st shot hit another other pin w/o pin 1 will have a higher chance of getting 8 or lesser.

Storm

erm...isnt head pin where the pocket is?if u dun hit the pocket and hit head pin directly at the center,chances of getting splits are high...and when u have split its definitley not 9pin already....

in bowling sorry to say if hitting the pocket is not a must,why is everybody workng so hard to get the ball into the pocket?
be it a normal game or 9pin tap or 8 pin tap,being able to send the ball into the pocket will definitely have its advantages or rather i should say its the right way to go cos its a series of pins hitting pins as the ball barges into the pocket that will cause a strike
for right handers its ball go into 1-3 pocket,1 will take out 2,4,7
3will take out 6,10,
ball go into pocket take out 5,
ball deflect take out 8,9
thats the perfect path of the ball in theory,in practical its affected by the speed of the ball,the oiling,the ball,the strength,the amt of revs and the angle used
messenger can be 1 or 3 depending on the power of the ball hitting the pocket pins and see if enough energy for the pin to bounce off the wall and richochet into the other direction

u see all the good bowlers in sg(we leave aside the national bowlers and pros),which bowler bowl well without hitting the pocket?

I'll answer your very last qustion. I used to be called the 1-2 King as I get higher chance to strike when I cross pocket last time. Now in terms of touraments, ANY form of strike is still a strike. Be it cross or pocket.

Anyway pin 1 is still the most important pin....Look at the 2 different p
