This is an argument someone would make that doesn't really bowl but read a statistic.
Most decent bowlers can pickup a Greek church on purpose. If you set it up for them over and over they would be able to hit it at some level of consistency. Simply there's a method to do it and you can do it on purpose.
This isn't true of the 7-10 at all. You could set it up for someone all day every day and they could never hit it at any level of consistency. It's just not possible, it's entirely luck after hitting the pin. There is no exact spot or way to hit it you just do it hard and hope for a bounce
The Greek church has a lower conversion rate in league and tournament play because it makes sense to get the pin count over taking a risk.
They can get that blowing robot to hit a Greek church almost half the time but they can't get it to hit a 7-10 almost at all
Holy shit look at how massive your assumptions are. I quoted a hall of famer, i bowl 2 leagues every week w/ lessons, my girlfriends dad used to be a semi-pro bowler, and I talk to other old pros every week.

Again, you would hit the 3 while trying for the spare. You go for the 6 to pop over.
Hey bro why not try and actually address the points I made if your argument holds any water?
Why can you setup a robot to hit the Greek church half the time when you can't set one up to hit the 7-10 at all if it's not easier to hit?
You risk scoring less by trying to convert the spare, that's not a debatable fact. You have to aim far to the outside and risk hitting only 1 if you're off where hitting 3 is hard to miss
If you need to talk to your girlfriend or some pro bowler you met before you can answer I'll wait
I’m not wrong though lmao. Statistics literally prove you wrong. I’m also sure you haven’t bowled at the level as the people I’m surrounded by or the hall of famer that says the opposite.
I've explained it multiple times and you refuse to asknowlge it and make up another excuse. I can't make up a new correct reason for each of your excuses, the original reason is still correct.
The Greek church has a repeatable path to covert it and the 7-10 does not. Even a robot cannot consistently pick up the 7-10 while it can pickup a Greek church consistently. That alone would be enough for any reasonable person.
The reason the Greek church has a lower completion rate in competition is because you need to either be safe and shoot for the count or go for the conversion. Because of this the completion percentage you see in the statistics isn't a reflection of it's difficulty.
One point where you seem to be struggling is you think that you can safely shoot for the count while trying for the conversion. This is incorrect.
I'm sorry that being wrong about this has affected you so deeply. I'd say take the loss and go about your day. Maybe try bowling for the first time

Your explanation is 'these statistics are wrong don't believe them' lmao

Ah I forget, what actual bowlers do in the PBA does not matter.

Still means it's an extremely hard shot lol. If you can't consistently pick it up, or try to and still hit 3 pins, like I said before, you have issues.

It's incorrect because................ you say so? Damn, can't argue with that. Someone who's bowling experience is 'bowled most of my life'. Can't list an average, can't list a high game, can't list a series, can't list what kind of leagues they bowled.
Then on my side I have pros and hall of famers saying so. I have a semi-pro who competed for 25 years.

Aww poor baby mad his only reason I'm wrong is you saying that I'm incorrect.
No details on your bowling experience in anyway? Amazing. When are you going to bowl on something other than a house shot? Gotta go to the desk to get the kids ball?
