I spoke with Rhino and he shared with me that he actually looks at the pins reflection on the lane when aiming at spares, i gave it a go and have never looked back.. Even though i still miss some (COME ON WE ARE HUMAN AFTERALL!!!) i think i could easily say that i have consistently picked up more than 75% of my spares ever since

I started in a league last week (stand-in bowler, half way through the season). My scores were all over...160-230 range. It depends on how I'm feeling as to how many Strikes i bowl. But one thing I've been pretty consistent at and I tell people ALL the time that ask advice..."Work on picking up spares!". You can still bowl a good game if you close every frame. My nemesis, the 10 pin. I have a high rev, unusual 2 finger bowl style. I've bowled this way so much that I actually CANNOT bowl straight. I've resorted to a very slow, left hand bowl that looks like a child threw it...but it works 80% of the time, every time. ^_^
