#PBA #FridayFive
Benjy Martinez converted the 2-4-10 split in his TV debut in the Players Championship Southwest Region Finals. Anthony Simonsen used a backup ball to take out the 2-4-10 during the PBA Tour Finals. Kyle Troup made the 4-9 during the PBA Scorpion Championship and Michael Davidson made the 4-9 during the Players Championship East Region Finals. Anthony Neuer became the fourth player in PBA history and the first since 1991 to convert the 7-10 on TV, doing so in the U.S. Open.

[@kristenanderson5273]

All of them were great conversions, but Anthony Neuer making the 7 10 was by far one of the best ever, and the fact that Rob called it made it even more priceless. Rob and Randy are the best commentating duo! :)

Absolutely correct. I wish Rob Stone was a permanent fixture on PBA telecasts!

[@calvingreen1215]

Only the last was truely impressive imo

[@FranFJB]

The 7-10 Spare may be a once in a lifetime conversion But that was a Ridiculous OVER THE TOP CALL. I HAVE HEARD BETTER LOCAL TV BOWLING ANNOUNCERS! These 2 are Cheerleaders Not Commentators!!

[@guitarzan5328]

Apart from Mark Roth, John Mazza and Jess Stayrook, Anthony Neuer's 7-10 conversion I will _always_ remember. First time on TV... in 30 years. Not to mention he was so cool and calm about it - the Bayside Bowl crowd would have *torn* the roof right off!

[@billp4]

He did it off the ball too. He didn't have to get a lucky bounce from the back wall.

[@oldirtydawson]

I was 10 in 1990. As a kid on a youth league who loved bowling, I started watching the PBA on Saturday afternoons on ABC with my dad. I remember watching the first few 7-10 pickups, and thinking that while knowing how hard firsthand it was to pick up the 7-10 (I never have), it must not be that rare, because by 1992 I've seen it three times on TV. Little did I know it would be 30 years later until I saw it again. Very exciting stuff from the "Ginger Assassin". Still love the PBA!

[@e-train1199]

RIP Mark Roth

That's awesome to get the 7-10 period. On TV he has that memory forever. I've been bowling on and off since i was a kid. When I was bowling throughout college I bowled a lot. Bowled collegiate, multiple leagues, etc. I've never once picked it up. I once got the 4-6-10. part of me wished it was the big 4 cuz it definitely would've hit the 7

4:57 - “The 7-10 made on television only three times” This was the first time it was made on TV in a year that did NOT start on a Tuesday. It happened in 1980 and twice in 1991, and both those years started on Tuesdays. 2021 started on a Friday.

A few weeks ago at our bowling league, I don't know how I converted a 3-7-9 split, for the first time since I started bowling over 40 yrs ago. I also got a patch back then for converting a 7-9 split. RIP Mark Roth 🙏 One of my all time favorite PBA bowler.

How come you guys did not do a tribute for Mark Roth?

[@chasbari]

At 3:14 Rob says "Versigh" Ohio... I was down there for a gig many years ago and we were being taken around town by a sweet older lady who was talking about the area.. operatic singers all, we said something about "Versigh" when she interrupted us.. I can't even explain it... But she said "Versigh?.. (laughter).. It's Ver-SALES!" And it's also appropriate that the last conversion ties in to the very first time that particular split was ever converted on a live PBA broadcast many years ago on this particularly sad day for the bowling world.

[@DoubleDoglegGolf]

2-4-10 leave I don't see very often. Was quite impressed with the backup ball conversion 4-9 is a nice conversation, but i don't find it that difficult as I've actually made this shot. Its similar to playing to the left side of a 7 pin. 7-10 is a clear #1 though. I think I've only witnessed the 7-10 made once from a distance. My personal best split made is the the 6-7-10. Amazing feeling picking up splits!

[@bendierking6986]

The ball was in the right spot in the back when the 10 pin was ricocheting of the side and back walls

[@ronaldshank7589]

I call the dreaded 7-10 split "The Vampire Fangs Of Bowling" They're extremely difficult to knock down. However, it can be done. A left-handed Bowler is the one that got the job done. Let a lefty show ya how!!!

[@AprilWong1978]

It’s literally impossible to make a 7-10 on a Brunswick GSX, because there is no bounce on a GSX pit curtain. Good job to Anthony Neuer

[@seibern]

I don't get it, why wear a mask if you wear it like this? Just put it off then

[@riversarcadereview385]

the 2-4-10 splits were NOT impressive...i've seen Bantams pick up that split

[@tonysabga5562]

When I was in my prime, I had extreme accuracy. I could bowl a ball straight down the lane on the same strip of wood. I picked up spares easily. One day, I sent the ball straight down the last strip of wood on the right side. As it neared the 10 pin, the ball fell off into the canal and bounced back to the left hitting the 10 pin straight across toward the 7 pin. And it hit the 7 pin. But not with enough force as to knock it down. So, it is possible to make the 7-10 pin split. You got to send the ball straight with absolute accuracy.

[@AlgorithmDisruptor]

I clicked to watch the splits but all I can focus on is the first guy not wearing his mask correctly

[@thecurtisfamily3810]

My thing is a 7 10 conversion is amazing but mostly luck. Other conversions are skill.

[@royrocker9004]

The 7-10 split was the only impressive conversion in this video. The other conversions are ones that I have made myself several times over the years and I am just a league bowler with around a 185 to 190 average. These conversions were nothing special and I am sure MANY regular bowlers both men and women have converted these same spares, other than the 7-10. I did convert a 7-10 split one time and it is just luck that picks that one up with a nice bounce of one pin off the side or if you hit one pin hard enough to get it to bounce off from the pit and back to knock the other pin over.. as I said to pick up a 7-10 split you need luck.

[@TheGreatYamii]

They are still pretty difficult. Even professionals don’t convert it much, not that regular people don’t convert it.
