IMHO it really sounds like the Groin is a tieeny, tiny location - but it is still covered by rolling '11' on 3d. This is the same propability as '9' for Chest (if Torso '9-10' is split evenly into Chest & Abdomen)

Torso is not split into Chest and Abdomen.

Use the hit location table from Low Tech, page 100, INSTEAD of the one from the basic set. The new hit locations from Martial Arts are mostly subsets of the existing hit locations and not impacted by the Abdomen/Torso rearrangement, although the optional rule to "accidentally" hit vitals when attacking the torso should be extended to the Abdomen.
