That's awesome! Congrats!
After 40 years, I finally got the 7-10 split....
And I didn't even see it happen.
Left it, and hurled my plastic spare ball at the 10-pin....it was a hair left of a direct hit, I could tell I had the 10 picked off, so I turned around and started walking....then I heard my team mates yell. It bounced right and flew over and took out the 7.
Gah!
I've hit pretty much every weird/hard spare I can think of, got the Greek Church a couple of times...but the 7-10 always eluded me. Ah well, milestones....next I wanna see it.
That's awesome! Congrats!

Very cool. I pick it up once about 30 years ago.
The only time I saw it live was similar to the OP. He threw his normal 7 pin shot, turned around and walked back, it hit the pin solid(he does not throw the ball fast or with many revs), the pin bounced out of the pit, rolled across the lane and hit the 10 pin, solidly. He never saw it. And I have watched him countless times since, on the 7-10 shot, and now, he always watches. But has never come close again.
Great to finally get one! I have picked up many different crazy spares but have not got a 7 /10. I'm glad to say, it's not often that I have one to shoot at and I'm glad to keep it that way !
Once one of my teammates picked one up, between the legs !
We got into the habit of throwing between the legs at impossible splits and we got pretty good at getting a pin or two, just as good as if we made a normal throw.
We were amazed when he got the 7 -10 !
I have made the dreaded 7-10 split 2 times in the
last 36 years of bowling and unfortunately I've had
a lot of practice... as a matter of fact way too much
practice shooting at them last few years.LOL!!!!!
