POCKET 7-10 HAS BECOME THE NEW SPLIT DU JOUR IN PBA COMPETITION
Back in the plastic ball era of bowling, the 5-7 split was the bane of all right-handed bowlers, defining a weak ball hitting light into the pocket. In the age of urethane, the pocket split that caused ulcers was the 8-10 (or 7-9 for left-handers). With the advancement to reactive resin balls, a preponderance of 4-9 splits caused by late snap-hook action high into the pocket created millions of migraines. In todays high-powered world, its the pocket 7-10 that has been bringing players to their knees. Over the past two or three seasons, there have been dozens of pocket 7-10 splits that have killed players bids for titles. But during the PBA Tournament of Champions at Red Rock Lanes in Las Vegas, it was a pocket 7-10 that fell apart at the last second that changed the complexion of the tournament. Needing a strike in the 10th frame to beat Kelly Kulick by one pin in the fourplayer roll-off to get into the Round of 36, defending TOC champion Mika Koivuniemi saw a pocket 7-10 standing on his first shotuntil the 10 pin fell over at the last second. With fate on his side, Koivuniemi converted the spare and struck on his fill ball to claim the 25th spot in the Elite Field, 215-214.
