Picking Up Spares

Stage 1: Aim straight for the single pin (1). Keep your arm straight and release the ball late to minimize spin. For right-handed players, move slightly right; for left-handed players, move slightly left to compensate for natural spin.

Stage 2: With pins 1 and 2 remaining, you can throw straight again from your current position. For a safer approach, line yourself up with both pins and ensure the ball physically knocks them both over.

Stage 3: Position yourself to the right and aim for the 6 pin. If you naturally spin the ball, adjust your position so the ball hits all three pins (9, 0, and 6).

Stage 4: Line up with the 2 pin so the ball contacts all four pins (8, 4, 5, and 2) as it travels down the lane. Speed is not critical, but keep the throw straight.

Stage 5: Aim for the 3 pin, ensuring the ball will also hit the sides of the 1 and 6 pins. Press Up to zoom in and confirm you will hit all three.

Stage 6: Aim to hit the left side of the 1 pin and the right side of the 8 pin. The ball should clip all three pins (8, 3, and 1). A slow to medium pace is recommended to prevent the ball from bouncing off and missing the 8 pin.

Stage 7: Line up with the pins (8, 2) and throw straight at a slow to medium pace. A faster throw could cause the ball to bounce off the 2 pin and miss the 8 pin.

Stage 8: Position yourself on the far right and rotate left to face the pins (7, 4, 2, 1). Aim at the 2 pin, just enough to clip the 1 pin. The ball or the 2 and 4 pins should clear the remaining pins. This minimizes the angle for better contact.

Stage 9: Throw the ball between the 2 and 1 pins at a slow pace. The ball should hit all pins except the 4, which the 2 pin will knock over. A slow to medium pace is advised to avoid missing the 4 pin.

Stage 10: Zoom in to aim precisely at the pins (9, 5, 2, 1). The exact strategy will depend on the precise arrangement after zooming in.
