Good morning robert I don't know if your a stroker cranker straight bowler or spinner but since your a left hander you have a natural hook than we right handers.
Basically its like sparing a 7 pin for the left handers and 10 pin for the right hander.
Use 2 techniques deep angled cross alley stand on the 35 or 40 th board face the pin
your spot should be the middle arrow 20th board. You try other variations using these
bearings remember use angles use the 35th board first then go 40 base on your result

hello robert, you can also try standing at 30th board and angle your body position at 7 pin , then try the target at 3rd arrow from left, and visualize an imaginary line from 3rd arrow all the way to 7pin ....takes lots of practice for this shot and eventually this will help build muscle memory everytime there is ringing 7 standing....goodluck...this works for me and am sure it will work for you too as well...enjoy bowling!!!!

hello there..what turkeyxxx explained is the basic line to get the corner pins. Do that during practice but i advice you not everyone uses that line. Factors like drift, release, ball use or even comfort zone. try to find your comfort zone to spare the corner pins. dont be afraid if the ball fall to the gutter. that means you're doing it properly just make necessary adjustment on your stance. I hope purvis is reading this..hehe Very Happy

Yup the 3rd arrow from the left helps alot and standing on the 30th board on is perfect. The ball glide thru the edge of the lane and hit the 7pin on the spot.

thank for your advice...

Cheersss

make an angle line or face your shoulder to the pin
