    Question What is the best split you have picked up?

    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.
    Not helping the situation since 1983.

    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.
