What do you consider the hardest spare shot in bowling?

many say 7-10 but it's gotta be the 5-7-10 imo

I would imagine that would be easier to pick up than the 7-10. I have been very close on a few occasions but never any where near on a 7-10

What would you do? Deflect off the 5 into the 7 and hope the 5 goes into the 10?

accualy the 5-7-10 is easy i have made it 8 times but close 3 times on the 7-10 the 7-10 is harder cause u have to get the pin to bounce out of the backwitch dose not happen rarly but to hit the 5-7-10 u will throw a hook ball and if your a righty u will hit the left of the 5 to make it go into the 10 and the ball will skim the 7pin with the hook if your lefty u want to hit the right side of the 5 to make it go into the 7 and the ball hit the 10 best way to do this shot is to get as much hook on the ball as u can witch is going streght up with a med-high agressive ball dependsing on rev rate and speed for me i would have to use a med ball witch i got my track kinetic pearl.

I've made both the 7-10 and 5-7-10 many times. I have yet to get the 4-6 so for me that would have to be the hardest spare.

The 5-7-10 I get my shooting the 5 from the corner of the approach to the opposite side of the pin. So I stand way left, hit the right side of the 5, the ball takes out the 10, the 5 takes the 7. I throw it hard at this so the 5 usually hits the corner of the pit and bounces out to get the 7. That's with my plastic ball. I've also done it the way Striker described above.

That sounds easier the way you pick it up bill

Never picked the 5-7-10 but then again I have only left it once in my entire life. I have picked the 7-10 a couple of times in leagues and also the 4-6-7-10. I have only picked the 2-4-8-10 once in my life so my guess is that this has to be one my most difficult.

I would have to say the 7-10 is harder than the 5-7-10 because the 7-10 is more based on luck and it also depends on the house you are bowling at (some walls are bouncier than others). The 5-7-10 is definitely harder to leave though, lol
