I was reading a posting here where bowlers were talking about the time they made the 7/10 split. I was shocked at how many who did make it .. claim they shot for the 10 and it bounced around and caught the 7.

I don't shoot at it TOO often but whenever I did .. my target was the 7 .. always thought that was the easier pin to hit. I AM RIGHTY. Is my logic correct or should I target the 10 when this situation comes up?

Two reasons I shoot the 10.

1.  When I shoot at a 7 pin, I rarely see it bounce out of the pit.  The 10 will bounce out occasionally.

2.  I don't expect to make it, so I'm practicing the pin that gives me more problems.

I have never made the 7-10, but I have made the 8-10 by shooting at the 10 and bouncing it across the deck (I am right handed). As to why I shoot the 10 pin, it is because of two things.

1) I am very accurate/consistent when shooting 10 pins.
2) Since I usually try to increase the speed of the ball when I throw for the 7-10, I tend to have a higher backswing. This means that my shoulders open during my approach/swing. That said, it is easier to feed the ball to the right where the 10 pin is, than it is to keep your shoulders closed and shoot the 7 pin cross-lane when my backswing is that high.
