    I have no stats, also a 25 year layoff maybe more. just bought the new ball and having a lot of trouble with corner pins. there was a thread on here spare ball or no spare ball. I'm still on the fence until I get more practice.

    10% seems high on the 7-10 split also.

    Hard to believe you are that proficient at splits and spares yet only average 186. 1 out of 10 7-10 splits is really hard to believe. I have never made one in my whole life.

    Well, bill has been known to post some outlandish claims before. Not surprising, but must be a fat fingered type deal with the keyboard. Find it highly suspect that he is converting 74% of his splits. Unless he is gonna claim that all he leaves are 3-10's or 2-7's.

    That's about my split conversion rate, if I get two chances at it

    Not too hard to believe for me, I've made several 7-10 splits in my bowling career I've made 3 or 4
    of them if I remember correctly.

    Yes and you've on left 30 to 40 in your bowling career? I admit they don't happen as often as they used to when I was younger throwing plastic and urethane but they still happen.

    One out of 10 7-10 splits is hard to believe. I find that I leave more now than ever before. Now they are pocket splits they used to be head pin hits. Bill must not throw many strikes to make splits like he claims but only avg. 186.

    That's strange you leave them more maybe I do too and just don't remember. The thing that really sucks about it in the past at least it was due to a bad shot now they happen on pocket hits.
