A good rule of thumb is to aim your ball at the pin closest to you, striking it on the side opposite any other pins. A moment taken to line up your shot and take a deep, relaxing breath will make all the difference. Practice, relax, concentrate and take your time when going after your spare. This method allows them to see how the ball reacts to the effort of crossing the lane.

Many experienced league and professional players practice by aiming for the 7 or 10 pin. Take the time to practice picking up your spares every chance you get. Be sure to relax your wrist as you release the ball and it will roll smooth and straight. It's not the time to use your $300 hook ball you want to minimize any spin. The easiest bowling technique to knock down your spare pins is to aim the ball directly at them in a straight line. When your wrist is straight yet relaxed and your arm flows smoothly and in a straight arc forward (not curving around your body and back) your aim will be more accurate. The way you hold yourself makes a difference. Start by looking at your body posture and stance.

Take the time to learn how to effectively pick up your spares. They are drilled to roll perfectly straight, enabling you to better hit your target. Even if you have your own ball, try using one of the regular, plain-colored, plastic 'house' balls to pick up your spares.

That being a regular, plastic ball they use solely for the purpose of picking up their spares. You will beat most of the competition by simply clearing your frames. It can easily make the difference between a 110 and 180 average! While strikes are an important thing to learn, for a beginning to intermediate level bowler, I advise this: Clear your spares and the strikes will come. Picking up spares is the one thing that even a beginner bowler can learn to dramatically improve their game. They're just delighted to have knocked down any pins at all, and laugh as they shoot yet another obvious gutter ball down the alley.
