The 7-10 split, Have you made it?

Walter Ray Williams Jr and Norm Duke don't throw with such an acute angle to leave nasty splits often.
WRWJr is so good, this split is afraid of him!

Tommy Jones throws so dang hard at single pin spares I'm sure he leaves this split just so the 10 pin can feel like the 7 can get the beating once in awhile.

Pins aren't afraid of Sean Rash if it's televised...they know there is a good chance he will miss them anyways.

Brian Voss picked it up last year in a mixed doubles tournament with Diandra Asbaty in the tenth frame to advance to the tv show.

Oooops, I forgot to add...3 for 5 in practice this week on this split Wednesday and 1 for 4 last night.

@billf: ever watched anybody pick it up on tv?

[billf]

Martin, no not yet. So far just in person and on the web.

I think I remember seeing Jess Stayrook make it on TV back in the 80's.

I saw it done this morning. We have a great provincial tournament here in Riviere-du-Loup. The sunday morning is the individual challenge which leads to a 1000$ prize for the first place. The guy left the 7-10 split during the final match. The guy told his friend «watch me convert it», as a joke. And he did it! It was an amazing moment. This spare permit him to win.

I had it done against my team twice. Once in a summer doubles league, and another in a men's league in the same house.

I picked up the 7 / 10 once! It was in California Wish I could remember the date, I know for sure it was in Modesto Ca,,, summer months, at that time I just boweled once in a blue moon. Anyway I threw the ball at the 7 pin, and on the way down the whole alley started to shake, It was a earth quake about 90 miles away, and we had a hell of a after shock. Both pins rocked back and forth, then the 7 fell followed by the 10 pin. It showed up as a spare conversion! So I have picked it up... I think to this day it was
the velocity, speed of my ball that created a vacum between the pin's that caused them to collapse inward! I am sure it had nothing to do with the quake. But then I am a dreamer. This did happen!! What do they say,,, timeing is everything! Next time you have a 7/10 wait for a Earth quake!! If you got the time!!!!! (

maybe not the most conventional way to do it, but it works
