That was the softest, most marshmallowy shot I've ever seen. On another note, I've actually picked this up a couple months ago. Threw it hard at the 10 pin and it popped out and knocked the 5 right into the 7.
@jakeg111222333 haha i would if i had the time trust me. however i dont have the time to record myself bowling. in high school we set up pins in these types of splits and this is by far one of the easiest. throw your hook down the left side of the lane. sure theres a good amount of oil but once you clip that 5 it shoots into the 10 and your ball takes the 7. its basic and its easy.
I just left one of these 3 days ago. I tried for the conversion with the light house ball, but I settled for an 8 pounder instead of a 6 pounder. Needless to say, I somehow threw the shot perfect and the ball didn't deflect enough to cover the 10 pin. Next time I won't settle for anything but 6 pounds......but I'll probably miss the 5 pin.
Columbia sucks with the 1-3 pocket seriously... Other brands like ebonite and storm would have got some trips, brakes and messengers when you just so much as touch the headpin. However Columbia balls rock the 1-2. The pins would normally fall down slowly but they are likely to trip other pins whereas other brands would blast the balls to the back of the pit...
in one of my high school bowling matches, between both teams we had three 5-7-10 and about five 7-10 and all of them were back to back on two different lanes one after another.
These are not that hard to pick up. What you gotta do is aim for the 7 pin and create a big hook. The ball should hit the side of the 7 pin and the 7 pin will knock the 10 pin down and then the ball will hook right into the 5 pin.
@MONOPOLY35 throw it slow to the left side of the 5 pin so the ball heads to the 7 and the 5 should go to hit the 10, 7-10 is harder because its really just luck after you hit one of the pin
@aquakiller8 The 5 pin has to be launched to one side and somehow travel to the other side as well. It is not natural for a typical bowler to throw the ball very slowly without precision problems. Plus, unless you're allowed to grab a rental ball, it is a waste of time to carry a 6 lb ball in case of weird splits. The Lilly is a rare occasion and I have only left it behind twice in my life. My dad bowled a lot, yet he does not remember any occasion of leaving the 5 7 10 because it is unusual.
Barnes is a pro at leaving pocket 7-10's, but that ball was DOA to the pocket. It had no drive left and just deflected off of everything.
Only way I've ever seen the "lily" converted for a spare was with a 6-7 pound ball with a lot of revs thrown left to right , getting only a couple boards from the gutter only to hook back, slide the 5 into the 10 and because of the light weight, the ball bounces off the five to the left and the spin on the ball drives it over to take out the 7.
i'd throw it left to right, hits the 5 on an angle, 5 hits the 7, and ball carries on to hit the 10.. dont think it would work but thats what i would do
I love Barnes' face the whole time...he looks amused :)
You'd have to kick out the 5 to the side board and get the luckiest of lucky bounces through the back from one side to the other. I've never been able to do it in a video game, let alone on a real lane.
Hardest split ever! No one sees it coming and very few people practice a giant hook. Plus, while the 7 10 requires a jump across the lane, the 5 has to be launched halfway to the side and then launched to the other side. Aside from that, the 5 can be hit and hopefully cause the 7 pin to fall or slide across against the 10. The 7 10 cannot be slided in, but the 5 7 10 opens a very narrow window for sliding with pin action.
I've made this before, with my 15lb HAMMER (counterweighted ball) major hook on it. Was able to cut the 5 to the 10 and have the ball hit the 7. Need dry lanes to do ti though, or a light ball like others have mentioned.
Barnes must've been bowling with a light ball here (although I can't think why he would be) for the ball to be that dead-on-arrival at the head pin. Can't believe the way that ball deflected off the 1.
In order to pick this up you have to hit the 5 pin on the side really damn hard to get it to hit the 7 or 10 and to bounce back for the other pin. Not impossible, just rare.
@theXmenshi unless u are using a very light ball like maybe 6-8 lbs the ball will not be able to clip the 5 and continue into the 7. The only way to really get it is to pick up the 5-7 and hope one of the pins bounces out and rolls over to get the 10 pin.
I seriously thought this was impossible to pick up until I picked up the 5-7 during practice last weekend. I hit on the right side of the 5-pin and slid it so it clipped the front of the 7-pin. The 5 hit off the wall and caught the top of the gutter as it came back on the lane, so it hopped up and turned a little bit counterclockwise, and rolled across the deck, right over the 10-pin spot.
This Is no lie my little brother and my family were at our bowling league and he was using a six pound ball and picked it up I swear you could here my mom scream for across the country is was so loud
The only time I have seen a good bowler leave that was in a house in Norwalk Connecticut where the pin decks were slightly elevated and caused the ball to lose contact with the lane just before it hit the pocket. I'd be willing to bet that was the case here.
A guy in our league picked one up yesterday. 5 into the 7, and the 7 rolled allllll the way over to the 10. It was really delayed, to the point where the scorer only gave him 2 pins. But it was a really neat sight to see.
I dont have a video to prove it but I once threw the ball to aiming for the far right edge of the pin right on the gutter where the ball would fall into the gutter but then bounces back up and tap the pin just enought to get the 10 pin flying left to knock down the other pins. Lucky I guess but not impossible.
@raezor82 WOW great job picking that up... that is a lol that he would say it over the loud speaker but it was well deserved for doing that... you should get a ring or something
@mrTsalverda300 Yeah chris normally is at roughly 410, but a 34 rpm difference isnt too much of a difference, not enough for that result. Also chris can change his rev rate so he may have been down alittle in this match. No i think he got it out too far and the ball just rolled out and hit like a pillow.
i remember when i did this in high school lmao. i left it and i was just like lmao wow. i was getting high fives from other schools for leaving it haha funny stuff
wow. the sour apple. the 5-7 split is actually not hard to make. just move two boards left on the approach from where you'd normally stand on your first ball and throw your strike line. now that one there is harder. prolly have to throw it slower. slide the 5 into the 10 and hopefully the ball rolls over and hits the 7.
@bigge0369 I agree: in California back when I bowled regularly in the 70's, it was called the "sour apple." Lots of leaves had funny names: Greek church, grandpa's teeth, and so on. But serious bowlers simply called it the 5-7-10.
maby this sounds stupid but maby his bal was to a light weight like 14/15 pounds i see this allot in my bowling people with to leight balls when they hit the pins they bounce to right ore left
i remember leaving it once and i almost picked it, but i hit the five pin on the right side as hard as i could so it hit the seven pin and the five pin bounces back out and rolled in front of the ten pin..
maybe if we threw a six pounder we might get a sufficient rebound off the 5 pin to hit the 7 or ten pin with the ball whilst taking out the other pin with the fallen 5 pin... lol
It is not impossible, you just need a very strong bowling ball. I've seen it picked up like that before, and it was not a lucky shot. Increase rev rate and throw very aggressive bowling ball.
@0100110101001011 During competition or...? I saw video of Michael Fagan picking up the 5-7-10 with an 8lb ball i believe. Dont think its on here though...
@jpba713 not impossible, if ur right handed, you throw it to the left of the 5, the ball hits the left side, shooting the 5 into the 10, the ball takes out the 7. Not impossible.
i need some opinions i have a black widow pearl and am getting a new ball... do i get a brunswick phython a black widow sting a black widow venom or a black widow nasty
I made this one once when i was 10, using a 6pound ball (normally using a 10 or a 12 punder),my fingers could still fit in those,so if you hit pin 5 from the side, the ball will be light enough to kick into the 7 or 10 pin, while pin 5 is taking out the other one.
You sure got to give it a try, it made me feel real proud, but your fingers probably won't fit in a 6 pounder, I dont know if its possible with a heavier ball
i got it once, but im not entirely sure how BECAUSE i got a 12 pound ball, im only 15 and usually use a 10, and just chucked it as hard as i could, spinning as i did, then my freinds all cheered and all the pins were down. They told me that i had hit the 5 pin which took out 7 and then the ball hit ten... somehow
way more, but not impossible... if you have a 6 pound ball with plenty of revs on it you can get it... the 5 kicks to the 10 and the ball bounces to the 7... or opposite for leftys... its so rare tho, so no one has a 6 in the pros...
No even close, this split is not as hard as most people think, you just need a plastic ball and you need to throw it right now the one board with some good revs and you will get it.
the best way to pick this up (and im not saying it will always work) in my opinoin is to hit the 5 pin as hard as possible into the 7 pin and get one of the two pins to roll across the deck into the 10 pin. same type of method when converting the 2 8 10
naa the best way to get it is use an 6 or 8 pound ball bowl rly slow on one side of the 5 pin then cos the ball is light it will get 7 or 10 and the 5 pin will get the other pin
I never seen people leave this split before. Is this split makeable? They call this split the "sour apple" and I don't hardly see people leave the 5 7 10 split before. Please tell me how to make this spare.
As in my other comment, it is makable. For a righty, you would have to drop your wrist as if you were shooting a solid 10. You want some revs so it clips the right side of the 5 pin, kicking it to the 7 and bouncing the ball to the 10. Lefty would be the opposite side. Left side of the 5, kick the 5 into the 10 and the ball into the 7.
Fingers!

i remember leaving it once and i almost picked it, but i hit the five pin on the right side as hard as i could so it hit the seven pin and the five pin bounces back out and rolled in front of the ten pin..
homie1kinobi 2 years ago
maybe if we threw a six pounder we might get a sufficient rebound off the 5 pin to hit the 7 or ten pin with the ball whilst taking out the other pin with the fallen 5 pin... lol
fredpunk123 2 years ago
If you are right handed, just hit the left side of the 5 pin, hook the ball into the seven, and kick the 5 into the ten.
redsfan821 2 years ago
impossible unless you either get a lucky bounce from the pin OR you throw a 6lb ball and get the ricochet...
jpba713 2 years ago 16
It is not impossible, you just need a very strong bowling ball. I've seen it picked up like that before, and it was not a lucky shot. Increase rev rate and throw very aggressive bowling ball.

@0100110101001011 During competition or...? I saw video of Michael Fagan picking up the 5-7-10 with an 8lb ball i believe. Dont think its on here though...
jpba713 1 year ago
@jpba713 not impossible, if ur right handed, you throw it to the left of the 5, the ball hits the left side, shooting the 5 into the 10, the ball takes out the 7. Not impossible.

I made this one once when i was 10, using a 6pound ball (normally using a 10 or a 12 punder),my fingers could still fit in those,so if you hit pin 5 from the side, the ball will be light enough to kick into the 7 or 10 pin, while pin 5 is taking out the other one.
You sure got to give it a try, it made me feel real proud, but your fingers probably won't fit in a 6 pounder, I dont know if its possible with a heavier ball

i got it once, but im not entirely sure how BECAUSE i got a 12 pound ball, im only 15 and usually use a 10, and just chucked it as hard as i could, spinning as i did, then my freinds all cheered and all the pins were down. They told me that i had hit the 5 pin which took out 7 and then the ball hit ten... somehow

Probably even more difficult to convert this split than the 4-6-7-10????
lcr1955 2 years ago
way more, but not impossible... if you have a 6 pound ball with plenty of revs on it you can get it... the 5 kicks to the 10 and the ball bounces to the 7... or opposite for leftys... its so rare tho, so no one has a 6 in the pros...

No even close, this split is not as hard as most people think, you just need a plastic ball and you need to throw it right now the one board with some good revs and you will get it.

vpxdemon 2 years ago
the best way to pick this up (and im not saying it will always work) in my opinoin is to hit the 5 pin as hard as possible into the 7 pin and get one of the two pins to roll across the deck into the 10 pin. same type of method when converting the 2 8 10
madman102792 2 years ago
naa the best way to get it is use an 6 or 8 pound ball bowl rly slow on one side of the 5 pin then cos the ball is light it will get 7 or 10 and the 5 pin will get the other pin

I never seen people leave this split before. Is this split makeable? They call this split the "sour apple" and I don't hardly see people leave the 5 7 10 split before. Please tell me how to make this spare.
srf1969 2 years ago
As in my other comment, it is makable. For a righty, you would have to drop your wrist as if you were shooting a solid 10. You want some revs so it clips the right side of the 5 pin, kicking it to the 7 and bouncing the ball to the 10. Lefty would be the opposite side. Left side of the 5, kick the 5 into the 10 and the ball into the 7.
