      Theres a higher chance of getting a strike when you hit "the pocket." The pocket is the first pin and the pin behind that, so the ball has to go at an angle. Throwing a curve is the only way to hit that pocket

      Yeah, but curving the ball takes practice, a lot of practice. Also, clearing leftover pins is really difficult with the curve method.

      @@FutureChaosTV they bowl like that due to the geometry of the pins. To get a strike with the highest probability, you need to hit the pocket(between the 1 and 2 or 1 and 3 pins) at a 14-16 degree angle, and it is impossible due to the length and width of the lane to hit that angle throwing straight, so a lot of people add a curve to the ball to be able to do that. for spares they do usually throw it straight with a second ball that is more slick and wont move as much.

    You know, the governmental agency took copies of him. This shows partly of why, along with the existence of Malcom and the rest of the sons, his firecracker dodging skills, and the skill shown in attempting to solve a case means it's understandable, buuuuttttt the "a secret thing thing" ... does he actually have one or did they just make a clone?
    Is the real Hal even the one parenting his sons?
