Making the 7-10
« on: December 11, 2003, 12:29:47 AM »
I was just curious who here has made a 7-10, and how you did it.  I left the 7-10 last week during bowling, threw my spare ball as hard as I could at the outside of the 7 and managed to kick it all the way across behind the 10, and the 10 wiggled for me.  Thats about as close as I have come recently.  Just curious if there is anything anyone else does?

OK, i picked this up, two yrs ago,  

I did it, by throwing my ball as hard as possible,  which is slightly slower than  Maximum Bob, well i hit the 10pin, slightly on the gutter side, and the pin kicked into the pit, and bounced out and deflected off my ball, and kicked over and hit the 7pin, and happend so fast, most people was shocked, cuz they couldnt believe what they saw, but, it happens, and i have gone after the 7-10 like this several times, and have come close everytime too.

While only once in league and the common hard and straight at the ten pin was my method. In practice I have done it once or twice on lanes other than 1&2 in our center. A couple years ago the center had rebuilt the kickbacks on that pair and installed a product called super kicker. That summer myself and one of my friends spent several nights picking the 7-10 out of the rack. We would do it as many as half dozen times each before we got tired. It wasn't all skill, the super kickers were way too lively. I have seen 10 pins end up 30 feet up the lane. ALso picked up the 4-6 one night driving the 6 off the back stop. It took a good year or more for things too settle down, but was fun for us and a major pain chasing dead wood for the house.

4 times I've been on lanes where it has been picked up.

But each time I've looked away just as it happened.  I've never seen it done!

A good friend of mine a regional champ claims he can pick it up fairly easily.
He then goes on to demonstrate throwing hard and fast hitting the inside or leftside of the 10 pin hard and it fires right and then back across the alley.

He appears to be almost 20 percent on making the pin go across to the right spot.

Unfortunately he is a very direct player and I have hardly ever seen him leave a 7-10.

I have picked it up twice..

First time was in practice when I was probably 14 or 15.  It was after my mom's Monday night league and it was with a Clear Wolf.  Threw it hard at the ten and I picked it up like "hank" did.  The ball went straight through the 10 and the 10 came back off the ball and across into the 7.

Second time was last season in travel league.  I was working on a 4 bagger and I threw what I thought was a good ball.... 7-10.  The guy on the next lane says something like "Damn the bad luck man".  I just took my spare ball and chunked it hard at the 10 and it went straight out the back into the 7.  When I was walking off the approach the guy said "You wouldn't have gotten a patch for a 5 bagger".  I have the patch in my little "2002-2003 Travel League Awards" shadowbox thing.

The only 7-10 I picked up was in a league in Florida; I was 23.  Left a pocket 7-10, so I was mad, and slug the ball at the 7 pin (with as manny revs and speed I could get); the ball slammed the 7 off the wall, and went into the pit, while the 7 pin hit the top of the ball ricocheting to the wall near the 10, and l then landed in the channel, with the top of the pin nudging the 10 enough to cause it to fall.  

This was an eye-witness account from another bowler, as I was so mad at the pocket split, that after I released the ball, I figured I woul  only get the 7, therefore I just turned around and walked bak to the seats.  I heard the roar, which caused me to catch the 10 as it fell.  What a bummer, everyone else saw the WHOLE thing and I only saw the ende result; this is why I do not turn around on ANY shot, no matter how bad it may be.

ok i picked one up in practice once.  hit the left side of the 10 pin it flew back in the corner and came flying out, landed on the lane, and kinda did a little skateboard grind on the back part of the lane to take out the 10.  

also picked it up off the full rack once.  me and a buddy were just playing low ball and i had been having bad luck all night.  i needed a perfect frame to beat him in the 10th frame and i said "knowing my luck tonight i'll pick up the 7-10 off the rack.  what do i do?  hit the 10 pin it flys in back and the 7 pin just falls down taking about 5 other pins with it.  IN LOW BALL!!!!

over at a bowling house that is known for their dry lanes sometimes.  take my strike ball, roll my normal shot for my practice.  ball takes off in the middle of the lane.  goes over and nails the 7, right off the rack.  kinda was amazed and just blaintly looking at the pins when i see the 7 pin kick back and hit the 9 pin,  the 9 pin flew out and landed in the gutter some 10-20 ft down the lane.  now the surprising thing about this is that i didn't take any other pins off the rack other than the 7 and 9.  and yet the 9 got dead wood.  explain that.
