How can you pick up a 5-7-10 split?

Answer 1

There is no real 'scientific' way to shoot for the 7-10. Converting it takes absolute luck. I have seen it made 4 or 5 times and in each case, the bowler threw the ball very hard and hit one of the pins square on. The pin went back into the pit and then bounced out and got the other pin.

First Response:

Use two balls! {laughing out loud}

Second Response:
This is one of the more difficult splits to pick up. I stand slightly left of my strike shot setup. Aim for right side of the 5 pin. The goal is to shoot the against the wall and deflect it into the 7 pin so that the 7 pins shoots towards the 10 pin.

Another common method is for people who use plastic balls for their 10 pin shots. Stand left (though not quite as left as one would for the 10 pin only) and throw a straight balling aiming to the right of the 5 pin. The goal is for the 5 to take out the 7 and your ball to deflect into the 10 pin. Many people feel this is more difficult to pick off than the 7-10 pin split.
