Because you had to know!!!

What is the hardest shot in bowling?  If you thought it was the 7-10 split, you’d be wrong…

Turns out the hardest shot in bowling is the “Greek Church”, which involves pins standing in the 4-6-7-9-10 position.  The odds of getting a spare from such a formation?  0.3%.  The odds of getting a spare from a 7-10 split?  0.7%

If you check out the link you’ll also find the fascinating “Spare Success Machine”, which will tell you the odds for getting a spare for virtually any situation.

All right, for those too lazy to check the link and those uninterested in working the “Spare Success Machine”, here are the hardest shots in bowling to get a spare from, shamelessly taken from the same link above:
