Best Spare!

[eugene02]

Okay guys. It's been a long time since I'm here chatting but here I am.
Just want to ask what's the best spared that you made. Regardless whether is it sanctioned or not.
As long as your not lying, it's fine. (if you lie... so be it... haha)


So... here's mine...

GREEK CHURCH!

[75lockwood]

6-7-10 :cool:

did it during open bowling, I took my 10 pin shooting line, moved my feet out 2 boards and when i threw the nexxus it hugged the gutter right in and nailed it.

I guess people were watching because i heard the collective "woah" behind me LOL

[noeymc]

i guess a 6/10 - 7 ive done it a few times i always seem to pick up the dumb stuff and miss the easy ones like a 4/7 ( i really am better hitting tens then i am 7's right handed) but i watch someone hit the 7/10 never seen a ball go down the lane so fast lol he hit the inside towards the back of the ten and bounced the ten pin to the 7 it was crazy he said best way to pick it up is to pray to god u get it =D

[Greenday]

Made the 7-10 once years ago. Just threw my spare ball as hard as humanly possible at the 10 pin and it bounced off the back and got the 7.

Nearly made it again two weeks ago. Ten pin bounced back and hit where the 8 pin would have been. SO DAMN CLOSE to a sanctioned one.

the best spare i ever got was when i had the 10 pin left and i angled the balled to hit it and missed but the ball bounced out of the gutter and clocked it.

[75lockwood]

Done this, but technically not a spare, ball is dead as soon as it goes in the gutter

shhhhhhh, dont ruin my feel good moment :)

[I suck at bowling]

I picked up the 3-4-7-10.

I really don't know how I left it.

I've also picked up the 2-4-8-10 about five-six times.

[swingset]

I hit an honest 7-10 many many years ago (late 80's, when I was 19). I threw a spare ball hard at the 7, it went left and just tapped it. It skidded, fell over, and the base came around and just barely toppled the 10.

Never hit that spare since, not even close.

[J Anderson]

The 4-7-9-10, but only because I missed right of where I was aiming and bounced the 4 off the side board across the lane into the 9 which fell over into the 10.

7-8-10,7-9-10 or 7-10

4-6-7-10(big 4) did it post bowling for league on my first year noclue how the 4pin fell i got the 6-7-10 at first walked away turned around and the 4pin fell

[Flyer41]

I know this doesn't count as a spare necessarily, but practicing 10 pins in high school on the first ball I picked off the 10 and it went around the back and clipped the 7. So I guess my favorite spare was the 1-2-3-4-5-6-8-9.

[Vince805]

I would say my hardest was the 8-10. One of those pocket shots u swear looks good and is gonna be a strike and some how some way thoes pins stay untouched or moving. I threw the ball with just 2 fingers in the ball (no thumb) with tons of revs. went to edge of the gutter came back and sliced the 8 and slid over and knocked over the 10. also done 4-7-10 and 7-8-10...

[Bizwan65]

I've made the 4-7-9-10. No idea how. Made the 6-7 the other day.

[ecub]

6,7, 10 & 4, 7 10. My funnest spare is a 7-8 split. I know how to hook the ball perfectly for the 7-8, I make them about 90%.

[ecub]

Somehow I can't edit my post, but I made all during league.

[eugene02]

the best spare i ever got was when i had the 10 pin left and i angled the balled to hit it and missed but the ball bounced out of the gutter and clocked it.

i'm pretty sure that is not a spare... haha.. done that many times too.. during practice.. fine.. keep the score.. during leagues/competition.. Score Correction!

[eugene02]

seems like most people have their glory moments while bowling! great! keep up the good work! hahaha i'll try to spare more too i guess...

[Purplepotatoe]

Actually have the big four patch from when they still did that. Picked up the 4-6 which felt better.

[SouthpawTRK]

I picked up a spare in league a few weeks ago (nothing crazy like the 7-10) and one of the players from the next lane over shouted out (in a positive manner) "you are a f#$%ing freak".

[Greenday]

Watched my friend pick up the 4-6 split tonight. Of course, she cheated as she guttered the ball, it popped out, hit the 4 and flung the 4 pin into the 6. It looked really cool though.

[Rdmonster]

Got the 6-7-10 in open bowling...was by myself too...it was a thriling moment though

[SmilingBowler]

Still waiting to make that 7-10.

But I do enjoy making the 6-7, 3-8, 6-7-10 and 3-6-7.

My nemesis is the 4-10 - I have yet to make that split (and get it more often than the 7-10)

[maximumslinky]

picked up the 6-7-10 twice this season. a few months ago during our friday night league a guy bowling next to me left the 6-7-10, then picked up the 7-10 but left the 6 pin.

[GeoLes]

4-8-10 (don't ask me how I did it ......

[CeKnauss]

4-8-10 (don't ask me how I did it ......

I got the 2-8-10 once in league by clipping the 2 on the far left side, wrapping it around the 10 and sliding the 10 into the 8. I was pumped after that shot.

[llaffer]

The other day, I picked up the following spare : 1 - 2 - 3 - 8 - 9

While normally not very impressive, it was how I picked it up that was interesting.

The ball went straight down the middle, hitting every pin separately as it passed through the two rows after hitting the head pin.

[Mike White]

I've picked up the 7-10 3 or 4 times, and one I know of didn't count as a spare since the 5 pin was still standing.

[UBowling]

I picked up the Greek Church in a sport league about a month ago. That is probably the biggest I have ever picked up. Other combos of splits I have covered is the 6, 7, 10 and the 4, 7, 10, and the 2, 8, 10. All during league or tournament.

[Greenday]

Had a 3-6-7-10 split today that I picked up. Wasn't really tough, but it's hard to control whether the 3 pin wraps around the 7 pin or not.
