Hi Ben,
My neighbors tell me which pins are left and I set up for the spare. Like if I
just roll my ball totally straight it will hit the 6 pin. If it is more like a
4 or 7 pin left I move all the way over to the left and count clicks to the
right and throw my ball straight. Just with
Clicks? Where are you oriented with each click? How many are there going
across the lane?

Hi Charles,
In WII Sports resorts a right hand bowler starts straight in front of the 6
pin. I do a couple of clicks to the left and throw a hook ball for my strike
ball. So I just throw straight at the 6 pin. I move 3 clicks to the right for
a 6 and 10 or just the 10 and throw straight.

Thank you. I really enjoy WII bowling. Guess because it is similar to real
