What is your hardest spare(s) to pick up out side of the 10 pin for a righty or 7 pin for a lefty and big splits?

Mine would be any combo of the 3-6-10 and heaven for bid you add the 9.  I could get that leave 5 times and open 5 different ways.

And That is MY Humble Opinion

Yeah, the 3-6-9-10 is tough, but I always have more trouble with the 2-4-5-8.  Since I only leave it a couple times a year, I always seem to miss it when I do leave it - usually take the 2-4-8 out and leave the 5 (which, annoyingly enough is harder than just knocking all of them down!).

9~

Keep your balls on the lane and your mind in the gutter!

Right now I am missing the 4 and 6 most of the single pin spares.  Just overthinking, and hitting what would be the 7 or 10.  7 pins are slowly making a push for most missed spare.  Still ok on 10's

Combo's would include the 3-6-9-10.  Nothing like throwing a good shot to see the 9 pin laughing at you in the end.  The 1-2-4-10 has been beating me up lately.  Used to be very strong at the washout, but now I just miss the headpin or only get the 1-2.  Trying to hard to make it.

D <~~~~ Used to be terrible wiffing 10 pins.  Now through much practice, can wiff any single pin spare at any time.

Thanks for the tip. I targets it from extreme right. (old school)
I can get it most times. It's just the odd times that I under estimate the amount and length of oil in the middle of the lane. Of course not using a plastic spare ball makes it harder.
