Lillard Shuns Pins For Spot l?;wnssfWv-- ??? ? SPOT BOWLING ? Here's the spot Bowler of the Year Bill LU lard shoots for when he Roes for a strike. Tlii^ Ik tin' first of tour stories! by the Bowler of the Year, wrtlten : i especially for AP Newsfeaturcs. By HIM. LI1.I.ARD There are three types of bowling, spot, pin and line. Since there are champions using each type, there are good arguments in favor of each MY own choice is spot bowl-j ing. 1 am a pure spot bowler. I don't, ever look at the pins during the course of my stance and delivery I When I take my stance at the center of the alley. I pick a spot where 1 want the ball to hit. My spot is either the second arrow from the right on alleys with the I rangefinder system or the tenth! board from the right on older al-. leys. 1 start at the same spot on every alley and use the same tar get i then use the trial and error * method to find my strike target Once I find the right area an a particular alley. 1 can bowl, high scores all night, provided, of course, my delivery is alway^ the same If the ball is too light in the pocket. I move my starting point, my stance, out to the right. 1 move onty slightly to the right, and I always work around that second arrow If my first ball hits too high (too full* on the strike pocket. I move slightly to the left, keeping the same target, that second ar row in the rangefinder system. If my ball is still hitting too high after this adjustment, I move both my stance and my target to the right. This is the move if your hook is too much for a strike. At the start and on each adjust ment. I always make sure I am j hitting my spot This is essential lo spot bowling.
