Personally I use plastic, and shoot cross-alley at it (over the middle arrow). I've tried targeting straight at the pin but see mixed results at best. I've found that projecting the ball helps with my accuracy at the mark in a significant way - it seems that the 10 pin results are more mental than anything else. I can hit 25+ in a row, then miss a shot and end up missing 3/4 of them for a week or 2 until I can reset mentally.
The best way I've found to look at it, is just thinking "hey if I hit my mark, it's going to hit it no problem" and just go an execute. Let the muscle memory take over. That usually is what busts out of the slumps too
