Bob Learn Jr. used a backup ball to convert during the 2016 PBA50 Fountain Valley Open. Pete Weber spared the 2-8-10 during the 2012 Roth/Holman Doubles Championship. Dick Allen picked up the split during the 2014 PBA Bear Open stepladder finals. Anthony Simonsen backed the ball in for a conversion during the 2020 PBA Tour Finals. Mika Koivuniemi converted the 2-8-10 for the Silver Lake Atom Splitters during 2015 PBA League competition.
Love the new background and music!
Missed PDW screaming “NUMBER 5” 😂
Great video‼️ That’s a though one for sure‼️👍🏾
Definitely a tough split. Pretty sure I’ve only picked it a couple times too. Like 7-10, throw and hope
Hi PBA, nice new intro.
Mika also made the 4-6-7 on TV back around 2005. Dude’s career has been phenomenal.
Randy Peterson be like:
“I’ve made the 7-10 split 7 times.”
“I’ve made the 2-8-10 once in my life!!”
hey did u guys know randy has made this once in his life???
I just made this spare for the first time on Tuesday after bowling my best games ever. It was great
I made the big four for the first time last week, a 2-8-10 someday would be fun.
The 2 8 10 split is almost impossible to convert
Not if you know how to throw a backup ball consistently

Simo have the best percentage to pick it up
Loving the new theme of these videos!
Wasn’t there a guy that made it, or tried to make it, by switching to throwing left handed?
I’m the opposite, Randy. Never made the 7-10 but I converted the 2-8-10 twice, and in the same week. I spared it in league and then in a practice session at the end of the week, I left it standing. Told my friend how I spared it and then went ahead to convert it the exact same way. Also have a big four conversion but I’m convinced the 7-10 will never happen, lol.
I am convinced the 2-8-10 is harder than the 7-10
For a righty, the way that Bob Learn did it is definitely the way to go. It’s a legit shot that you can aim for. The other right handers basically throw rockets at the left side of the 2 pin and pray for crazy pin action off the wall. This is assuming you know how to throw a decent back up ball. Ofc we know that Simo can throw back up balls well enough to win tournaments with it, so for him it’s a relatively easy shot, like asking a left to make that shot.
