Bowling Ball Spare

Bowling- What, if any, do you believe why you can't make the ten pin as a spare?
If you can't hit the head pin on the first ball, please stop...
I believe that, as a right hander, most bowlers have a mental block when it comes to picking up right hand corner spares, especially the "dreaded 10 pin". For me, I can back my ball up totally from the left side, throw a plastic or polyester spare ball straight down the 3rd arrow from the left side or use my regular strike ball but cock my wrist down to cut any hooking action down and aim directly at the pin.
Learning to pick up the 10 pin regularly was what boosted my average up to the point where I applied for and received my PBA card in the 90's. Practice makes perfect!
Can Water Cut It? Bowling Ball!

Linear speed of the ball?
After you pick up a spare, your bowling ball rolls without slipping back toward the ball rack with a linear speed of = 3.08 m/s.
To reach the rack, the ball rolls up a ramp that rises through a vertical distance of = 0.533 m. What is the linear speed of the ball when it reaches the top of the ramp?
Since the ball is a solid sphere:
I = (2/5)mr^2
Since the ball rolls without slipping:
vi = (wi)*r
So, the initial rotational energy of the ball is:
KEr1 = (1/2)I(wi)^2 = (1/2)[(2/5)mr^2](wi)^2 = (1/5)m(vi)^2
And, the final rotational energy of the ball is:
KEr2 = (1/2)I(wf)^2 = (1/2)[(2/5)mr^2](wf)^2 = (1/5)m(vf)^2
The initial translational kinetic energy of the ball is:
KEt1 = (1/2)m(vi)^2
The final translational kinetic energy of the ball is:
KEt2 = (1/2)m(vi)^2
The initial potential energy of the ball is:
PEg1 = mg(0) = 0
The final potential energy of the ball is:
PEg2 = mgh
Since energy is conserved:
KEr1 + KEt1 PEg1 = PEg2 + KEr2 + KEt2
(1/5)m(vi)^2 + (1/2)m(vi)^2 + 0 = mgh + (1/5)m(vf)^2 + (1/2)m(vf)^2
Multiply both sides by 10, divide by m, and simplify:
7(vi)^2 = 10gh + 7(vf)^2
Subtract 10gh from both sides and divide both sides by 7:
(vf)^2 = (vi)^2 - (10/7)gh
Take the square root of both sides, and plug in known values:
vf = sqrt[(vi)^2 - (10/7)gh] = sqrt[(3.08 m/s)^2 - (10/7)(9.81 m/s^2)(0.533 m)] = 1.42 m/s
