just thought this might get some interesting feedback. it just seems like in 2009 every 3 weeks or so someone shoots a perfect game and i feel like the game is just not as tough as it once was. it may be a combination of more knowledgeable players, and of course better equipment, but i honestly would like to know the numbers i would assume a 7-10 split conversion is less common now than a 300 game right?  when i die i hope to say i have done the following;
1) 800 series
2)300 game
3) 7-10 split conversion

my father who averages "only" 205 actually picked up the 7-10 split and bowled his only 300 game in the same year! i tell them all the time all he needs is his 800!

7-10 would be the rarest.

At the start of every series, you have a shot at an 800 series, you have 3 shots at a 300.

Personally, I've gone months without leaving the 7-10 split.

Hard to make them if you don't leave them.

Now if you're leaving 6-7 a night, different story.

I've seen the 7-10 made about 25-30 times since I started bowling in 1997.  I've seen 25-30 300s since December 1, 2008.

The 7-10 involves much more luck than skill.
I've seen 3 people pick up the 7-10 that have no shot at a 300 game or 800 series.
Myself, I have picked up the 7-10 twice, with three 300's, and one 800.
The USBC should start listing 7-10's and Big Four's on the member's profile.
Well, for that matter, Triplicate's, All-Spare's, Dutch 200's (I also have one of those, not a good thing).

I think a 4-6, 8-10, 7-9 is hard to pick up too...
