    The side walls at my house are very soft and I haven't left it anywhere else yet, thankfully. I left the big 4 in back to back frames during practice today. Didn't convert either time.

    i converted the big 4 once and it was lucky i missed my target badly i was standing to the right shooting at the 4-7 and the ball hit the left side of the 6 pin and it made the 6 pin bounce off the wall and was spinning right over the the 7pin knocks it down at first i thought i missed then some how the 4pin fell i was lucky.

    but you cna say that is a big miss of the target right aiming to the left of the 4 pin and hitting the left of the 6 pin lol

    Usually when I miss that bad I try to play it off but my laughing gives me away.

    I don't know what spare (or split) is the hardest to convert. My feeling is that whatever spare I just missed probably seems the hardest to me at the time.

    But here's another question for you guys. What spare is the hardest TO LEAVE?

    I can think of dozens that would qualify for such a discussion, with the hardest (and in fact, impossible to leave) the 1-2-3-4-6-7-8-9-10 (knocking over the 5 pin on the first ball...would require a helicopter ball). But here's one I captured on video that left me scratching my head. In this video, skip forward to 2:50. You'll see me (or my feet, anyway) on lane 30 bowling and leaving a 9 pin. But just as I begin to walk back, notice two lanes over to the left, on lane 28, some kid plucks out the 4-6-10 from a full rack of pins. That's right, he gets the 6 to topple over to the left and drop the 4, without knocking any other adjacent pins over (except for the ball taking out the 10). Can't say I'd ever seen that happen before. Here's the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyGNQ5hmcfk

    Never had the 5-7-10 I believe. I have picked up the 7-10 once in a tourny. Couldn't believe it..
