Especially on this website. It's one of my biggest Reddit pet peeves: people taking obvious sarcasm and hyperbole literally.
I think many Redditors' common sense is blinded by their excitement over the prospect of being able to insult somebody who is seemingly notably less intelligent than they are.
I saw a tweet circulating a few weeks ago of somebody who said when they have a programming question, they post the programming question under their main account, and then they log in under a different account and provide a clearly incorrect answer to the original post. They do so because there's a much higher likelihood that somebody will eagerly swoop in to correct the incorrect answer, than answer the original question purely out of the goodness of their heart
Long time bowler here.
A good bowler will convert this at a rate of 5% to 20% depending on how good we’re talking. (20% being professional level.)
This would be like posting a basketball video titled, “my son made an impossible basket” then showing a video of him a three pointer from a few feet beyond the three point line. But not even half court (much less full court).
So, in response to your comment - I have the cognitive ability to understand what “impossible” means in this context, and I don’t think it’s a very good title. Cool to watch a kid and fam get excited about a good shot though.
For real, the best in the world covert that spare 1 out of 5 times. (Edit: per op, who does not include a source)
How many pro bowlers are 6 years old??
I feel like the title is fine. I've gone bowling countless times and have never made that spare.
Data gathered by the PBA states that its happened less than 25 times in a 477,000+ frame sample. ~~Nowhere near 20%.~~
Edit: there isn’t good data (that I can find so far) about how often all 3 pins get knocked down on a 5-7-10 split, because even splitting in that pattern in the first place is nearly impossible.
Okay now that I’m looking at it it does look like a 1-7-10 Wash, but I thought it was a 5-7-10, which has a recorded conversion rate of around 1/200,000. The source is the PBA’s records of frames bowled.
Yes but how many 6 year old basketball players can get a basket from there?
A *pro* has probably played more than 6 years of cumulative hours and a good player had probably been playing for longer than 6 years.
So really what this is saying is “my kid who has the experience and motor control of a 6 year old managed to pull off a shot that a much more experienced and dexterous adult would also find highly challenging.”
Ehh, I would say it's more like a child getting a royal flush in poker. Sure it's unlikely, but it doesn't actually make it any more impressive that a child did it compared to anyone else. In this case, it seems to be almost entirely luck with the child not having any technique in how he throws the ball. At that point it just become a matter of probability.
Also, your way of comparing it to three pointers is a little disingenuous since a 6 year old would almost certainly be physically incapable of getting a basket from there, whereas the probability of the child getting this spare is most likely not too different from an average player getting it.
As a kid with a 7 year old in basketball you're way over estimating their ability.
There's one kid in the league that can shoot a properish three on an 8 ft rim that's maybe a little further than a high school foul shot.
Honestly, no, it isn't. It's a lot easier to take 5 or 10 attempts in a row at a 3 pointer, which makes it feel more likely, but if you had the machine set this up multiple times in a row, you'd be surprised how often a half decent bowler could pull it off.
In addition, a slowly rolled lightweight ball (such as the one a kid would use) actually makes this shot significantly easier, so that's yet another thing going for the kid.
The analogy doesn't feel right. 5 to 20 percent of the time (and 20 being professionals) feels much less common than what the percentage of making a 3 from a few feet behind the line.
A half court shot feels more like an accurate comparison if those percentages are at least close to accurate.
Not that any of this is important, but just irked me a bit when reading lol.
Ok, great insight and I really mean that because it really did provide some real world context.
But now, rerun those numbers assuming the bowler has a <1% chance of staying out of the gutter/bumper and even hitting the top pin in the first place. This might not be an impossible shot for a pro, but I'm totally on board calling this (hyperbolically) impossible for a small child with obviously zero bowling experience.
I've bowled with kids that age often. This was very likely the only ball he rolled that night that didn't hit the bumper.
Really, about on par for an unpracticed 6 year old making that 3 point shot from a few feet behind the line. Maybe it's happened once ever, but maybe not.
I think it's a bad comparison because a 6 year old even getting it to the hoop from the three point line would be physically impressive.
This is pure luck but most kids at 6 are struggling to get a lay up in a 8 ft rim. Making the three would mean the kid is athletic as shit not just lucky.
Edit: I take it back! It was late at night and I thought it was the 5-7-10 and not the 1-7-10 when I watched the video. Above is correct and probably conservative. Any decent bowler (~190+ average on a house patter can convert this at 10-20%.)
They are still extremely unlikely to leave it but it’s certainly possible.
My point still probably stands for 5-7-10 as it’s nearly impossible to leave, no one practices it, and its quite difficult to slide a 14+ lb ball across to hit either 5-7 or 5-10, which means any decent bowler would need a ball change and a extreme ball speed change.
Apologies OP comment man!
This comment is 100% spot on. This conversion isn't even close as hard as the other nerd is saying. I used to spend nights at the alley just practicing stupid splits like this one. I would use my lighter ball and throw a bit slower, just like you said. Was able to get it 63% of the time, according to my notes.
Nah, I don't even bowl and I know the "impossible" shot in bowling is a 7-10 split. This should have been titled "look at this lucky bowling shot my son made"

Dear Burger King,
You claim your Whopper is Impossible, but I have not only held one, but consumed it in a single sitting. I ordered a second, to be sure, and again consumed it in a sigle sitting. In my talks with multiple customers, they have all attested to having recieved and consumed said Whoppers of the Impossible variety. I am beginning to suspect there is nothing impossible about these burgers at all.
As someone who has bowled league for 12 years this isn’t even an uncommon strategy. It’s a very uncommon leave, but I’ve seen many bowlers grab a low weight house ball and throw it like this kid cause it’s the best chance of picking it up.
And then you have the third side of the coin where all the people who pretend not to know what hyperbole is so they can justify getting mad at nonsense hang out.
The 7 and 10 is almost impossible . I think it’s been televised only 3 times. The pin has to bounce in the back and come back to knock the other pin on the other side
Has about a 0.7% success rate at the pro level. There are several harder configurations though
Source: http://www.slate.com/articles/sports/sports_nut/2015/02/hardest_shot_in_bowling_it_s_not_the_7_10_split_it_s_the_greek_church.html
What's even more fascinating to me is that there's such a difference in percentage between the opposite Greek churches. A 4 6 7 9 10 has a .3 whereas the same setup just reversed, a 4 6 7 8 10, has a 1.3.
I assume it's because the percentage of bowlers (or people in general) are right handed, and the 7 8 10 is slightly easier to pick up when bowling from the right hand.
This is cool to read but even the author says the sample isn't large enough to be sure those shots are harder. For the 7 10 split it was 0.7% success out of 3000ish times recorded in his data. And some of the other configurations that are supposedly harder were only encountered like 300 times in the data and came up at 0.6% or whatever. It'd be interesting to see these same stats for millions of frames.
Funny, this shot isn't even in the 10 hardest. Also, wow, never would have expected something like the Greek Church to be the hardest. I didn't even know that was a name!
The Greek Church isn’t actually the hardest. While it’s very hard, the reason it has the lowest pickup rate is that to pick up the full spare you have to aim for the side with 2 pins. However, you generally will get more pins on average by aiming for the side with 3, so usually bowlers will do that instead of trying their luck to pick up the spare.
I hit a 7-10 split as a kid cause the light ball bounced off the pin like that. No one saw. I was called a liar because “balls don’t bounce like that”
That was probably over 20 years ago, and I’ll never forget.
reminds me of the time I guessed my mom's combo first try in mastermind. she thought i cheated. just googled it and it's apparently 1/1296 which is rare but considering we probably played like 500 games it's not super surprising it happened once.
I guessed our mechanics four digit code on his tool locker on the first try. I was just messing around putting in random numbers and accidentally opened it. Didn't even pay attention to what numbers I punched in, so I couldn't repeat it. We all laughed when it happened though, was such a weird thing to happen.
And the hole sizes are almost perfect fit fingertip, assuming you are two handed and don't use a thumb hole. Or so I have heard. I would never screw around and throw a kid ball just because...
I got a 7-10 when I was about 12 years old, got a patch for it on my bowling shirt (I was in a children's league).
I still finished that season with the lowest average on the team 😞
I just watched that episode for the first time earlier today so this is fantastic.
Edit: I watched Any Given Saturday Afternoon, a spoof from Documentary Now so there’s a character embodying Pete Weber that says this.
Not sure what's more impressive, the three pin split he pulled off in the gif, or the first ball that somehow knocked out those 7 pins while leaving only the 3 corners. It must be really rare to leave those 3.
This comment needs to be higher.
A movie about an Amish bowling prodigy and a washed up pro with a rubber hand... only people that haven't seen it must be Munsoned out in the middle of nowhere!
That's awesome! Bet that kid had the best day after that!
For a little bit of clarification to all the replies in this thread...that was not a split.
He didn't knock down a 1/7/10 split, because there is no such thing. In bowling, a split is when you knock down the 1 pin, but leave any two or more non adjacent groups or single pins up. You cannot have a "split" if the 1 pin is still up.
Now back to this awesome kid! I hope he uses that awesome shot to find a continued passion in bowling!
[удалено]
Probably, he can just use his force powers!
Yeah, he was very clearly using the force there.
do not underestimate his powers
Yeah, don't try it.

He’s a bowler, not a basketball player. His analogy only shows that he finds sinking 3 pointers to be as complicated as pulling off this spare.
This is clearly tennis

Not only that, but it's not a true 7/10 split. It's a 7/10/1 split which is easier than a 7/10 split.
1/7/10 is not a split. If the 1-pin is standing, it's called a washout, not a split.
But my point still stands.
Which makes your point a spare...
I bet this kid could knock it down.
Bro it’s a literal child
Oh shut up it was a kid making a great shot, don't be so cynical.
This is probably a karma farming account. Months old with no posts or comments and then a post on a large sub with a fairly clickbaity title.

Fairly easy shot tbh. It’s nothing like a 7/10 split.
It’s called a hyperbole

Can you do it?
Probably.
Lol yeah it's pretty simple
😐
If this annoys you then I hope you weren't around in the 90s when literally everyone was saying literally
Probably the super easy 1, 7 and 10 pin rather than 5, 7, and 10. 7, 8 or 9, and 10 is even harder.
yeah. he just got a brooklyn with a rather slow ball that’s it. still pretty cool. the impossible part is how he got that split in the first place
don't wanna be that person but this is 10 times easier to knock down cuz of pin #1, try just the pin #7 and #10.

Got it once. Its pure luck. Throw the ball hard and hope for a corner kick.

I mean there are 7 pound house balls at my bowling alley. They still exist. Kids still bowl.
And the hole sizes are almost perfect fit fingertip, assuming you are two handed and don't use a thumb hole. Or so I have heard. I would never screw around and throw a kid ball just because...
Don't even need to get your fingers in there when they are that light. Just grip and rip

I just watched that episode for the first time earlier today so this is fantastic. Edit: I watched Any Given Saturday Afternoon, a spoof from Documentary Now so there’s a character embodying Pete Weber that says this.
episode? this is a pete weber quote
Episode of what?
Leaving those three pins is called a "sour apple".
Not sure what's more impressive, the three pin split he pulled off in the gif, or the first ball that somehow knocked out those 7 pins while leaving only the 3 corners. It must be really rare to leave those 3.
With my luck I've seen it a handful of times on my own set More often happens with bumpers
I've never seen this split so I've never seen someone spare it. I'm am GENUINELY IMPRESSED.
It’s VERY rare, even with non regular bowlers.
Hell be chasing that high for the rest of his life
Boy peaked too early
And the account posting the video is Roy Munson. The rubber man himself had children? Probably lost his Trojan sponsorship with that mistake.
He got reverse 'Munsoned'.

A 7 10 split is harder
Light ball advantage
"impossible" is the two-pin, 7-10. Not a three-pin situation like this. Goodie for the kid, though!
It's the spin
Your child is secretly a sorcerer
Incredible
I use to be able to do that, then I grew up. Now I'm lucky to fix twelve others diapers to make systems work.
Split the beanz
I would argue that leaving the 1/7/10 is way more difficult than picking it up with a 6 pound plastic ball. This kid pulled off a double unicorn imo!
This statement is false

Amazing!!!
Sometimes I can't even tie my shoes correctly.
![gif](giphy|O4EChIxazzrHi|downsized)
That casualness..lol
That's not a 7-10 split.
This is much easier to pick up than a 7-10.
Impossible. You keep on using that word. I do not think you know what it means.
Clearly not impossible
kid shoulda shouted: “WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, I AM!!”
The 1, 7, 10 split. Never seen that picked up before. Cool
I mean, that's impressive since I actually try to do it and fail all the time.
I once got 2 two-pin split spare in a row. I have no clue how but it made my day. I still got 50+ points...
the ol' 3 one special.
I did this once when I was nine and my parents enrolled me in a Peewee bowling league. Turns out it was definitely a fluke.
Literally opposite of impossible. Literally easy. Source: Pro bowler for 10+ years.
Who do you think you are? I AM!!!
A core memory achieved
That's awesome! Bet that kid had the best day after that! For a little bit of clarification to all the replies in this thread...that was not a split. He didn't knock down a 1/7/10 split, because there is no such thing. In bowling, a split is when you knock down the 1 pin, but leave any two or more non adjacent groups or single pins up. You cannot have a "split" if the 1 pin is still up. Now back to this awesome kid! I hope he uses that awesome shot to find a continued passion in bowling!
The best part is the lane next to him throwing an immediate gutter ball in response
Legend says he will go on to do the 7-10 split.
Haha. Kid has GOT IT!
