Step 1
The first thing you must consider when you are preparing to throw your bowling ball at this difficult spare is hit either the 7 pin or 10 pin straight on. If you try and hit one of those pins on the outside to slide the pen across the lane, you will either throw your bowling ball in the gutter or hit the pin and undercut it. If the pin is in the exact position, there is not enough space between the pin and gutter to slide the pin straight across the lane. For this reason you need to aim and try to hit the pin straight on or just to the inside.

Step 2
The second step is to throw your bowling ball really fast. Throwing the ball faster will increase the chances of getting the pin to bounce off the sidewall or off the back ball curtain and end up back on the pin deck to knock down the other pin your bowling ball did not strike. If you cannot throw your bowling ball fast, this greatly reduces your chances of picking up this incredibly difficult spare.

Step 3
The final step in attempting to pick up the 7 10 split happens just after you release your bowling ball. You close our eyes, put your hands together, and pray that you will get lucky and pick up this spare. There is no harder spare in bowling and no way to pick this spare up 100% of the time. It requires you to have some luck or maybe a helping hand from above. Good luck!

on 10/23/2009 How to Pick Up the 7 10 Split in Bowling was an interesting read. I only did it once by following the cartoon guide suggestions on the board. Those little arrows really do help. Smile!
