I've only left this twice ever. The first I was screwing around lofting the gutter with two hands and the other was just an extremely slow shot (~10mph). First time I hit the 6 at too little of an angle, the second... well, I threw a gutterball the first throw, so I can't tell you I converted it...
Very nice. I left this during a state tournament last year and someone practically said I was screwed, and I picked up everything but the 4. I almost yelled at how close I was to actually picking it up.
i did it by trying by using my virtual gravity .. threw it really straight to the 6-10 like you do when you try to pick -up a 6-7-10 .. the 6 pin went to the middle of the 4-7 and the 10 pin bounced to hit the 8 pin ... i tried it to pick up a 4-6-7-10 and got it as well .. it was a somewhat lucky- unlucky day for me that day haha since i always get splits on that lane.. but luckily i somehow barely convert them haha ..
i left the greek church minus the 10 yesterday (4-6-7-9). i was on a spare, so i went for it. threw at the 4-7. looked good and thought i might have a chance. i hit the 4 so thin it went in front of the 9 but hit it just thick enough to go behind the 6. i went from almost having it to throwing the 4 between the 6-9. i was like....did that really happen?
nice pick! everyone has there preference on how to pick this but if i needed to pick it.. i'd go for the 4-7 and slide it into the 6-9-10. reason being is cus i feel if you slide the 4 pin over there's a good chance you'll take the 9 and the 10 out but also it's double the chance that one of those pins will fall forward and hit the 6. i don't know. i feel it's pickable either way.
The hardest splits are the double wood spits. The 2-8-10 for a right hander and the 3-7-9 for the left hander. Both are down right impossible unless you can throw a really good sharp backup ball.
@Astromchaser i beg to differ. the 2-8-10 i have converted 5 times. 7-10 twice. the key to the 2-8-10 (besides being 95% lucky) is to smash the 2 pin way off to the left hand side over into the right side wall have it bounce off the side wall hit the 10 which will then impact into the 8 pin. its actually not that hard. in my opinion, the big four is the hardest split in bowling.
@madman102792 Are you kidding me? I have converted the big 4 once.You have to shoot at it as you shoot the 4-7-10 or the 6-7-10.By getting the pin between the other 2 you have a chance making this.The hardest split in bowling? The 4-6! Why? It's not like the other 2 cincinatties to bounce one of them or to nit one of them;I nit once the 8-10 and got it,and I've nit at least 3 times the 4 into the 6.The result-shaking 6.I've never converted the 2-8-10,the greek church,4-6-7 or the 4-6-10 as well.
I once picked this up in a similar manner. It was one of the best moments I can remember bowling even though I don't think anyone noticed it and I didn't have a camera. :(
So what's wrong with that reaction? I'd be happy, too...especially if I made it like that, going for the three. I was always told that if you pick up the greek church, you have to go for the two...and I did pick it up in that manner once.
@generalbullmoose Ehh, it's just old. I go for the three, but usually I'll leave the 4 pin by doing that. I never tried going for the pins on the left, before. I made this split again a few weeks ago, though. I'm much better of a bowler now. And I've gotten the 7-10 split three times. (twice on camera, too!)
@generalbullmoose I've made it twice, by shooting the three on the right (pure dumb luck both times). I have seen others make it, too, over the years. I've never, not even once, seen anyone make it by going for the 4-7. Personally, I think your odds are better when you go for the three, because if you hit it just right, the 6 will flatten off the 9 and get the 4-7, whereas shooting the two on the left, you have to rely on the 4 doing all kinds of bouncing around to get the 6-9-10.
I picked it up once. It was in the 10th frame of game 3, and since it really didn't matter so much to me, I picked up the ball and heaved it in the general direction of the rack. It took out the 4-7, so light on the 4 it tipped over and took out the 8-9-10. Nice pickup, but certaily nothing to brag about for me. Nice shot.
@rkevo55 NICE! I've made the 4-7-10 split by doing that LOL (it was an accidental pickup). I've made this one 2 times already. Not too hard, but not too easy.
Ive left this many times in my life but have only managed to get 4 pins. Im lefty so I have gotten 4-6-7-8-10 but only kicked out 4-7-8-10. never got that luckt bounce off the wall like you did there :D nice shot
@BowlingMania14 haha ive only been bowling for like a year and unfortunately the only big split conversion ive ever gotten was the one i got on vid where ur brother called me a noob
I thought this split is hard to make. If you leave the "greek church" split, the best we can do is just go for the three pins on the right or left side and the other two pins will leave standing. This is a very hard split to make.
@srf1969 Yes. I just got a little lucky. They are hard splits to pick up, but some people make it look easy. I would think that the weight of the ball would affect the pin action, by altering the hit from the 4 into the 8 or the 6 into the 9. Deflection in needed to make the split.
I left this split last night in the 4th frame of my second game last night. We were getting killed my team was struggling and needed something to get us going. My heart sunk when I left this and I thought well this is just the way it is going to go tonight until it happened I picked it up! And it looked the same as this pick NICE JOB on this spare =)
sorry, machimanta was my brothers account, didnt realize... but i know, i wont drink when i'm old... that is a nice bowling alley, too. different sweeps on other lanes say different things.
I tried going for the two at a tournament. Didn't get enough angle at the 4, ended up leaving the 6.
