How do you make a ten pin spare?

Really depends on your bowling style. But, if you roll a natural hook - move all the way to the left arrow (the second set of dots on the alley). Use A button to switch and then aim at the middle arrow. You may need to click one or two times left or right to get the ball where you need it. Roll your normal approach/ball and it will catch the 10 pin every time. If you need to pick up a 9 /10 just move your aim point a little more to the left.
