If you''ve ever been bowling, you''ll know that feeling of hopelessness when you encounter a bed post split. It''s that perfect split where only the two outermost pins are left standing. This is the trickiest shot there is in bowling.


    This usually occurs when a shot is going straight down the middle looking to be a promising strike. And thus it''s just that much worse when you realize it''s a bed post split. Forget a strike, even a spare is going to be really hard to achieve.


    The unluckiest I''ve ever been was when I bowled 2 bed post splits back to back right after a strike. What could have been a Turkey ended up being a strike a nine and a spare.


    Your best chance at hitting both pins would be to aim for a hard gutter where the bowling ball bounces in such a manner that it shoots one pin into the other.
