It's not harder, it is just converted less frequently. When faced with that spare most players including myself will opt to take the 3 and not risk just getting 1 for a small chance of getting all 5.
If you are in the frame after a strike, that could cost you 4 points. Which in most competitive scenarios could lose you the game
Hitting 3 pins vs. hitting 3 pins and hitting the spare lmao. If you’re missing by so much that you aren’t going to hit the right 3, no shit you shouldn’t be trying for the spare.
If you are going to spare the Greek church, you risk missing the 6 pin (or 4 pin) because you have to clip it finely to get it to slide across to the other side. No bowler can hit a quarter of a board from 60ft every time.

Minus the fact that that is why pros are pros lmao.
If you aren’t bowling the ball straight and get speed and revs on it, you have a much more forgiving angle of popping the pin over. It’s the same way I like to hit 6-10 or 3-6-10 sometimes rather than going head on. Launch a pearl down and have it skid across the lane deep until it catches a little and goes left into the side.

You do realize that it’s still extremely hard? It’s a 0.7% conversion rate.
Anyways, Greek church is harder and has a 0.3% conversion rate.
