Splits love me, what about you?

But every once and a while you get the better hand.

So what is your best split you have picked up??

Greek Church while at The Gathering in North Carolina. If I remember correctly it was during the Bragging Rights Tournament. I went for the 4-7-8 hoping to kick the 4 over and get at least the 10. I ended up sending the 8 across. It caught the back of the 10 and sent it into the 6.

The big 4 was converted 1 night during "after hour" league night. We were pot bowling. I slid the 6 into the 4-7 like it was a magnet. Never came close since. This happened 3 years ago.

I kind of figured this one out. It takes a little luck, but I just shoot it like I'm shooting a 10 pin dead on, but I slow the speed down a little. Still requires a LOT of luck, and a near perfect shot, but I have to say, when you pick it up, it's almost better than if you threw a strike in the first place! hahahaha.

I picked up the 6-7-10 and th 6-7 several times but the toughest one so far is the Greek Church. Sure would like to make the Big 4 or 7-10 someday (just hate getting em in the first place though)

I actually made the Greek Church once in my life, and I have chopped 4 off of it numerous times. I do convert the 4-10 quite often as well. Although I leave quite a few pocket 7-10's, I have never even come close to making it. I always seem to throw pins out of the pit when I don't have to, but when the 7-10 rolls around, it just doesn't happen.

The 6-7-10 and the 4-7-10. I slid the 6 pin between the 4-7 once on the big 4, but that's as close as I've come to making it. Have made the greek church once, but I don't see it too often.

I have not had too many chances at the 7 10 but maybe with more games I will face it more.

best spare i hit well i have 2 amazing ones in my mind.
1st:
i left the 1, 7 ,10 idk how i did it but i left it my ball missed the head pin and just took the other ones out :p
and i just went for a brooklen strike and kicked the 1 into the 10 and ball kept rolling into the 7.

2nd i hit the 7, 9 , 10 was pretty cool kicked the 9 over 2the 7 was only shooting for the 9/10 got lucky i guess

I'd have to agree, the 7, 9, 10 would be my best split I've picked up. The only one I haven't picked up is the Big 4. The closest I've come is kicking the 6 in between the 4, 7 without touching either to come to rest in the gutter. All I could do was laugh and shake my head. I picked up the 7, 10 with a 10 lb house ball at the 10 pin. Sometimes it's nice having small/skinny hands.
