The 10 pin is the pin on the far right-hand side of the back row. It can be the nemesis of a bowler. You throw a good, pocket shot that should be a strike and that single pin stands defiantly. For right-handed bowlers, the 10 pin can be one of the most difficult spares to pick up. It is a spare that you should practice regularly because it is fairly common.
Instructions
1. Place your fingers in the bowling ball as you normally would. Move your index finger and pinky, which will be sticking out of the ball, closer together. This will help reduce the amount of spin you put on the ball.
2. Move to the far left of the lane and aim across the alley toward the 10 pin. It is very difficult, and nearly impossible for a bowler that throws a hook, to ride the ball down the edge of the lane toward the 10 pin.
3. Take your normal approach toward the lane, being conscience not to drift to the right during the approach.
4. Release the ball in a "flat" manner. In other words, try not to lift the ball with your fingers. Lifting the ball is common for bowlers that put spin on the ball and you might have to practice quite a bit to be able not to do it.
5. Throw the ball with force. The harder you throw the ball, the less likely it is that the ball will hook or turn.
