Thanks to the new reports feature of BowlSK, I was able to run an analysis of my spares left and made both all of last season and through the first half of this season, and a trend caught my eye:
Single 10 pin in 2008-09: 51/79 (64.6%)
Single 10 pin through first half of 2009-10: 44/59 (74.6%)
I’m on pace to leave the single 10 pin 118 times by the end of this season, well more than last season, but I am also picking up the pin a greater percentage of the time. Combine this with the fact that I’m getting strikes at a slightly greater rate (46.6% through first half compared to 42.4% last season), and it’s little wonder that my average is 9 pins higher through the first half compared to the same point of the season last year.
