I am pretty good at making spares and usually have a decent chance of making a lot of different splits.  I can't seem to figure out how to make the 4-5-7.

I've tried hooking and parking the ball between the 4/5 and that obviously leaves the 7.  So, how do you make it?  Let's remember now that I throw a slower ball so I won't be kicking any pins off the backboard

Your advice would be appreciated.

Hmmm, about the only ways you can do it without banking anything would be shoot and aim for the very right side of the 5 pin, and hope it slides across into the 4 which should hit the 7 in some sort of fashion. Otherwise its just aim for the middle and hope the 4 gives you a break.

I don't know if I've ever left this spare, but I would try to cover all three with the ball by revving and dropping ball speed to get the angle and hit high left side of five pin deflecting over into 4/7.

avoids spare shooting at all costs
just throw strikes

So it appears to be a crap shoot and I shouldn't feel that inadequate if I only take out two of the three pins

The best way that i have found to make it is to move right and shoot across lane at the very left side of the 5 pin.  Doing this and having an angle when you hit the 5, the ball will hit the 4 pin and take out the 7 also.  Hope this helps. Steve

throw the ball as hard as u can but still in control and pray is really the only good advice i can give.
