The 7-10 split, Have you made it?

[10-in-the-pit]

On a side note, the only way I can pick up the 7-10 split is with a speed around 23mph with revs, hitting the left side of the 7 into the corner by the 10 and out to tip the 10. Practicing that is tiring lol

How many times have you converted the 7-10?

That's funny, I know this wasn't addressed to me, but I've only ever gotten the 7-10 by throwing it hard at the 10 pin but still having a slight hook at the last second to propel the pin to the left. Basically you have to get the pin to hit the ball twice. I've converted it 5 times in my life.

I've gotten it two times but never during sanctioned league play. I've gotten them both during the practice during the warm up time before league starts but I never saw it as I was just trying to hit the 10 pin. I think the way The Mayor says works best for me too (right-handed).

I haven't managed to get it yet by hitting the 10 first. I tried for years that way and never succeeded. Hitting the 7 pin I'm about 18% success rate during practice. 0 for 2 so far during a sanctioned event. On the plus side, I obviously don't leave that split very often

I throw the equivalent of two games at just corner pins. I take the 7 first and try to convert the 7-10. I do this about 2-3 days a week since Jan 9th. For all of 2011 it was daily as I was practicing 30 games a day at that time (out of work on workers comp & had permission to only bowl)

I moved this out of the ball speed thread so it didn't hijack it. Plus 7-10 split deserved a thread of it's own.

7-10.. never been close.. dunno if it's a problem with my center.. but the pins don't seem to bounce off the walls and so practically impossible to convert the 7-10..

[JaMau24]

Nope, never been close. I've never had pins bounce out of the back despite me hitting the pin as hard as a can, full wind up. I don't know if its an issue with the lanes or if I just haven't had the lucky bounce yet.

The kick plates at your center have a big effect on your ability to bring pins back onto the deck. Some houses are more lively than others. My favorite time I picked up the 7-10 was in a PBA experience league, I threw a great shot and the 7 and 10 didn't even wiggle. This is a house that is known for being extremely hard to get pins to dance around. I'd never even seen anyone bring a pin out from the back. Well I threw it as hard as I could at the 10 and it must've hit just perfectly because it flew across the deck, tomahawked the 7 and both pins came out a little more than 1/3 of the way down the lane. It was the coolest feeling. There is nothing like picking up the 7-10.

i have made it ocne and it was a just last sunday, the bowling allie i bowl at you cant make it bounce back on the lane from the back or even off the wall cause if it hits the wall it just goses streght back thats why when i do it i have to hit the left side of the 10 pin and be on a angle right to the 10 soo my ball will get close to the wall for my ball to hit the ball and come back on the lane.

but when i got the 7-10 split i did not know i just went up threw the ball did not even get in my approach stance just walked up and walked back and everyone came over to me saying nice job and i was just like "ummmm ok thanks"
