I have only left one of these, the other day at a place in St. Louis.

@Zoomer30 what do you mean?

5 7 10, the toughest split ever!!!!! 7 10 requires a bounce to the other side, 5 7 10 requires a bounce to the side and then launching to the other side. A big hook would help as well. However, a lot more hook is required for the 5 7 10. Plus, the 5 7 10 relies on a light ball. The 7 10 does not need a light ball.

It was there, but it was air. But actually, there was a house in Norwalk Connecticut, Rip Van Winkle, where good bowlers would leave the 5-7-10 fairly frequently. It was because the pin decks (the place where the pins sit) were raised a fraction and the ball would lose traction, and maybe even hop, just before it hit the pins. The decks were also made of an artificial substance while the rest of the lane was still wood.
"No point of throwing a big hook and leaving some weird shot" Ironic, eh?

He never got fired. He and Chris Schenkel (as a pair) were on ABC doing these telecasts for 23 years. With the advent of cable television, and other factors, bowling went off of ABC in 1997. Bo was very professional and had insightful comments for the audience.
