Tough Splits????
« on: March 16, 2004, 04:54:36 PM »
Converted the 3-4-6-7-9-10 in league last night (four thru
the face ....... ouch!).    

Curious about other "tough splits" converted by
bowlers in this forum????

4-6-7-10 is probably the toughest split I have made...I did it by sliding the 6 into the 4-7 though, not by kicking the pin out of the pit!!!

One of my friends picked up teh 7-10 twice in one day (about an hour apart of each other) at a local tournament recently.

Anyone actually seen the 5-7-10 converted??

I actually saw my 9 year old neice convert the 5-7-10.  She was use a 6 pound ball and threw it just right, it tipped the 5 into the 7, and the ball deflected to the 10.  Really slow shots do work on occasion.

2-4-8-10 (or 2-8-10) ...... my favorite (NOT) :
I've had success coverting it with a back up ball
down the left side of the lane.

One day while goofing around I picked up the 7-9-10.  Split the 9-10 perfectly and the 9 slid into the 7.  It was a really pretty shot.

my dad told me that when i was younger i picked up the 5-7-10 with a little 6 pound plastic ball.  but recently i picked up the 7-10 and had a misrack on the lane once that left me a 2-3-7-10 so got the pins off the deck then shot at it dead center.  and whamo perfect.

Picked up the 4-7-10 (righty) by throwing at the 4-7 to take count.  I got very lucky, I hit like 90% 4 pin 10% 7 pin.  The 4 pin went back to the wall, bounced off the corner of my ball and bounced right, clotheslining the 10.  I couldn't believe it, went from so bummed to just slap happy in 2 seconds.

Last week, I had a wicked start.  Lonnie Waliczek special, 1-2-4-6-10.  Moved right and threw brooklyn, and picked it up.  Second shot, 1-2-4-10.  Threw the same ball, but sent the 1 in front of the 10.  Third shot, 1-2-10.  Threw brooklyn again, and covered it.  Crazy stuff.  

BTW, my scores that week?  158, 153, 163.  There went my 196 avg...  I'm awful!

O.K. Jeff...I know how you feel!  Last night at league a left the Greek Church...picked off the 4-6-7-10 and left the 9, didn't even touch it!  I kicked the 6 into the 7 and the 6 pushed off the wall and took out the 4 pin.  Nobody around me believed that I did it...

...I do, but that's my luck!  LOL

i have got the big 4...sent the 6-10 into the corner and they both came flying out across the lane.  i have got the 2-8-10. hit the 2-8 dead one and hard and one come flying out for the ten pin.  i have hit the head pin for a four count and picked up that one a few times.  picked up the 4-8-9-10.  speaking of splits....how does a righty shred the rack for a 7-9...i have done it TWICE....sheesh...some people have all the luck
