How to Pick up a 7-10 split in Pogo Bowl

Possibly the toughest split to pick up, the 7-10 is dreaded by bowlers.

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A computer with internet access

1. 
   starting point

   Place the ball to the far left.

2. 
   aiming and release

   Aim for the far right by the outside frame of the lane.

3. 
   curving the ball

   Before it gets to the gutter, press and hold down the left mouse button.

4. Keep working at it. This is a difficult shot and I still don't pick up this split most of the time.
   
   Remember, it doesn't hurt anything to try to pick up this split. Worst case scenario, you get 8 pins instead of 9 - but as long as you try you might just get that spare!!!

5. So, I revisited my old article to add an additional resource for visitors. Much to my dismay, I found out that eHow now has a length requirement that my simple little instructions did not meet. As a result, I'm am adding this completely superfluous step to appease the eHow powers that be. Tip - if I come across this problem again, you may just see this identical paragraph.
   
   I hope you enjoy my article.

on 5/7/2009 I've converted the 7-10 maybe a half dozen times because of your article and video. I find I have to come back to view the video every now and then. I came here today for a refresher, and was disappointed to find it was no longer here. I guess the new length requirement doesn't allow you to use it? Have you considered putting it on YouTube... or have you already?

on 1/31/2009 I'm a pretty decent Pogo bowler, but I still get that 7-10 more than I'd like, but haven't been able to convert it again. So I'm back here for a refresher.

on 12/7/2008 Congratulations!! (insert dancing cacti here) I happened across a video once that showed me how to do it, so I wanted to share it with more people. I hope you don't get too much practice though ;)

on 12/7/2008 This may never be seen by the poster, but ever since I saw this video some months ago, I've been going for this split using the technique shown here... having opportunity all to often. I've seen the 7 pin fly towards the 10 pin so I knew it was possible. Today this video paid off! I converted the 7-10!! What a feeling. To top things off, I was bowling a game while I was typing this... got the 7-10 again... and converted it again!! Practice! Practice! Practice! It pays off!!
