If I See → Then Try

What I See Adjustment Options
Ball right (D+) Feet RIGHT or target LEFT
Ball left (D-) Feet LEFT or target RIGHT
Hook EARLY (H+) 1) More loft 2) More speed 3) Move left 4) Softer hand
Hook LATE (H-) 1) Less loft 2) Less speed 3) Move right 4) Firmer hand
Too FAST (S+) Slow tempo, softer push, relax
Too SLOW (S-) Quicker tempo, longer push
Early + Left Move left, add loft, loft gutter cap
Late + Right Move right, less loft, stronger ball

Release Adjustments

Adjustment Effect
Axis 0° (up) End-over-end, earliest hook, most hook potential
Axis 45° (behind) Balanced roll, standard release
Axis 90° (around) Skids longer, less total hook, good for dry
Pinky curl ↑ More axis rotation, more backend snap
Pinky curl ↓ Cleaner, more predictable
Soft hand Later release, more loft, less rev
Hard hand Earlier release, cleaner, more rev

Ball Selection

Ball/Setup When to Use
Pearl Medium-dry, fried heads, need length
Solid Fresh oil, heavy volume, need control
Hybrid Balanced: some length + continuous motion
Urethane Early read, control over/under, sport shots
Pin UP More length, more backend, higher flare
Pin DOWN Earlier roll, smoother arc, lower flare

Adjustment Hierarchy

Try in this order - exhaust simpler options first

1
Line First Feet/target moves - lowest risk, easiest to execute
2
Loft / Speed Physical adjustments - moderate risk
3
Release Axis/hand changes - higher risk, requires feel
4
Ball Change Last resort - time consuming but sometimes necessary

What I Saw

Scale: -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 where 0 = as expected

Code Negative (−) Positive (+)
D ← Left of target Right of target →
H Late (held too long) Early (grabbed quick)
S Slow Fast

Line Adjustments

Code Values Meaning
Feet boards (+/−) − left, + right
Tgt boards (+/−) − left, + right
Loft 0, 1, 2 0=line, 1=mid, 2=deep

Release Adjustments

Code Values Meaning
Axis 0, 45, 90 0°=up, 45°=behind, 90°=around
Pky 0, 1, 2 Pinky: 0=none, 1=some, 2=full
Hand S, H S=soft, H=hard

State

Code Values
Mood 😊 focused   😐 neutral   😤 frustrated
Conf H high   M medium   L low

Video Review

After the game, compare each shot to video:

✓ V = Video confirms your read was correct
✗ X = Misread - you saw it wrong

Look for patterns in your X's. Where do they cluster?

PTQ-Week Micro-Plan

Travel-aware preparation guide

🛫 Pre-Travel (Week -1)

  • 1–2 Perth sessions max (quality only)
  • Mental prep: visualize PTQ patterns, simulate first-game nerves
  • Light gym / mobility; avoid heavy fatigue

✈️ Arrival + Adjustment (Day 1–3)

  • Adjust to time zone / sleep
  • Light lane sessions (30–60 min), focusing on feel
  • Record decisions only — no heavy PTQ simulation
  • Skip high-stakes practice — energy preservation

🏁 Pre-PTQ Tuning (Day 4–7)

  • PTQ simulation sessions: 3–4 short blocks, 3 games each
  • Complete snapshot after each block
  • Focus on: first-ball consistency, early moves, spare conversions
  • Video optional if alley rules allow

🥇 PTQ Competition Days

  • Warm-up: light 15–20 min block only
  • Pre-block routine + focus on process metrics only
  • Complete snapshot after each block
  • Post-day: identify 1 controllable adjustment for next day

📊 Post-PTQ Recovery

  • 10–15 min reflection: what went well, what was controllable
  • Maintain execution over results mindset
  • Optional light lane session or mental rehearsal

Practical Notes

Transit Factor Uber + alley access into energy budget; shorter, sharper sessions > long wasted time
Variety Limited oil / alley variety = bonus chaos practice; helps PTQs where patterns differ
Data Focus Data + decisions > pinfall. Snapshot + video is what matters, not average
Focus Lever Pick 1 major adjustment per block, don't try to fix everything

Training Adjustment Loop

Pick one primary adjustment per cycle. More = noise.

1. Shot Execution Weak

Signals: Pocket hit <60%, consistent miss pattern, unpredictable ball motion

Training Focus (choose one):

  • Target window drill: 10 shots at arrows ±1 board, reset after miss
  • Breakpoint awareness: Call breakpoint out loud before release
  • Speed consistency: Same line, 10 shots within ±0.2 mph

Goal: tighten dispersion, not chase carry

2. Decision Quality Weak

Signals: "Late" or "chased" circled, good execution but falling carry

Training Focus:

  • Early-move simulation: Force a move after 3 frames even if striking
  • Two-ball limit games: Must solve the lane with only two balls
  • Predict-the-transition: Write expected move after game 1 → check game 2

Goal: make moving early feel normal, not risky

3. Mental / Routine Weak

Signals: Routine breaks under pressure, recovery >2 frames, tight starts

Training Focus:

  • Game-1 pressure drill: First game counts — no warm-up frames
  • Reset routine practice: Deliberate pause + breath after bad shots
  • Consequences practice: Miss a spare → stop for 60 seconds

Goal: shorten the recovery window

4. Spare Shooting Weak

Signals: "Sloppy" circled, avoidable opens noted, PTQ exits by <20 pins

Training Focus:

  • 9-in-a-row single-pin rule
  • First-ball-only spares: One attempt only — like competition
  • Pressure ladder: Make 1 → 2 → 3 → reset on miss

Goal: remove spares as a variable

5. Good Execution, Poor Results

Signals: "Outcome didn't reflect execution", decision quality ≥2, mental stable

Training Focus:

  • Nothing major. Maintain.
  • Light sessions
  • Video review only

This is where restraint matters most

The Loop

1
Complete snapshot After each PTQ / Regional / Tournament
2
Circle weakest section Which area needs most attention?
3
Choose ONE training response For the next week
4
Re-evaluate After next block

This avoids: overreacting to bad results, random training, emotional "fix everything" weeks
