Picked up the 4-6-7-9-10 split last night!!
« on: October 30, 2007, 05:04:52 AM »
I don't get the chance to shoot at this one but I did last night and I picked it up. Thats probably the hardest split to convert other then the 7-10 because of the nine pin. I usually get the big four but miss the 9 pin, well finally got that bad boy last night slinging the ball at about 22MPH gets great pin action!!! lol

The easiest way to pick it up is to shoot at the 4-7 and slide the 4 into the 3 pin cluster.

The only problem with this is you will go 1 or 2 out a lot and probably loose pin count over the long haul.

But if I needed to make it to win I shoot at the 4-7.

I agree with you Pinbuster.  That's why I always would shoot for the 3 unless I was in a situation where I ABSOLUTELY had to make it!


Are you right handed or left? Cause Im right handed and the angle would be off for me. I usually don't have any help from the pins in the back, once they fall in the back thats it for them most of the time. lol

Nicholas, I'm a right-hander, and I agree with Vanni.

If I'm trying to take it, I'll stand on my seven pin mark move 1/2 board left with my feet and go straight over middle at the 7 pin.

In most cases though I'll go for the three pin cluster, and occasionally get lucky and take the 7, never picked it up that way though.
