My grandfather watched Billy Hardwick practice in J town lanes Jeffersontown Ky, in the mid '60s and said he threw 4s, 10s, and strikes for the whole session. How did these guys do this with rubber balls on wood and lacquer? Notice how little angle these guys were working with? They almost never missed the pocket to average what they did.
