I am looking for your opinions on the way I play my 01 games because I am getting too much advice from my team and others about learning the game the so called “right way”.
I know the idea is to lower the score fast however, when throwing at 20 my average score goes down because of the under 10 scores that I hit in just about every game. Instead I have been shooting at 14 and although if I miss badly I should score no lower than 24 three eights or any combination of numbers around 14, considering I don’t miss the board. I have also tried the 15/10 area because I also do well most of the time there.
I know against a much better player I can get left behind quickly however in the “C” division I am in, I am usually in the game and get one or 2 chances to go out before the game ends. When I do the A1 drill from flight school the 20 and 14 are generally my last 2 numbers I need. However, the difference is I hit many triples in 14 which don’t count in the drill, and very very few triple 20’s. Also my splash hits for 14 include triple 11’s where for the 20 it’s 1 or 5.
So, is it in my best interest to start going for 20’s because that is what I will eventually need to get better or play where my present skill allows me to so I am in the game at the end most times?
