  • i got the big four a couple months back but it was only on the 10th frame after a strike

  • He knew whhat he was doing, look at the quick smirk right at the beginning of the video

  • I used to pull of shots like that... then I took an arrow in the knee

  • @itshelpa That joke has no place in a bowling vid, lol.

  • Made this last week! :)

  • It requires a great snap to convert the big four split.

  • Like a baws!

  • 0:51 lawl

  • PBA champs are so classy!!

  • Fact: Pins do what WRWJ tells the to do.

  • I picked this up WITHOUT using the wall, but then I sucked at bowling so I left this a lot. I throw a similar line to Walter Ray Williams Jr. Picked up a 4-7-10 last night with my strikeball to cap-off a one of my first clean games. A hook without a spareball makes the 10 a challenge to hit every time. Not practicing makes it near impossible, but oh so much more satisfying when I make it.

  • @SquallLionhart409 I picked it up once by sliding the 6 into the 4, but just my luck there was a 9-pin too.

  • love how he walks away like its NBD

  • this will never get old XD

  • 0:24 "ARE YOU KIDDING??!??!?!"

    LOL~~~~~!!

  • OMG!!!

  • my uncle saw that live!

  • 0:49 - well, at least I got those two 0:52 - JIZZ IN MY PANTS

  • who did he face in that match?

  • @KidODeath500 Ryan Shafer

  • Keep pushing 7 for epic double take.

  • i picked up a 6-7 which is a pretty tough pick up. it was sick too cuz im not very good ha.

  • II'm 13 and I've done this :D

  • If you wouldn't have hit the nose, you wouldn't have to pick up that junk!

  • @Richaag Junk like that happens because oil conditions are not always predictable at first.

  • These bowlers have plenty of strength on them! When they hit the single pin conversions, the pins literally fly across the board.

  • lol 1.bowls split 0:05 2. mad that he wont get it 0:14 3. thought of chuck norris 0:15 4. threw the ball 0:18 5.ball hits pins 0:20 6.didnt think he gets split 0:21 7.gets split 0:22 9.turns back 0:51 10.omg" prob wat he said in his head 0:53 11.im awesome" 0:54
  • 0:48 THAT EXPRESSION IS PRICELESS

  • I converted the same split today.I hit hard between the 4-7,the ball took the 7 and the 4 hit the 10 and it fell tripping the 6.

  • I saw this live when it happened, so I know it ain't faked. Unless they faked it live. Why would they even bother?

  • many of Williams Jr's buddies called him deadeye and the whole world reveled why.

  • HOOT HOOT HOOT HOOT HOOT HOOT!!!!!!!!!!!

  • priceless from Shafer and Deadeye :)

  • That's why his nickname is 'Deadeye' :D

  • Walter Ray Williams Jr. is the best spare shooter who ever lived.

  • How about his name being Walter Ray Williams Jr.?

  • I love his reaction...thats probably what i would have done. He has probably seen that split so many times in his life and never hit it and boom finally got lucky enough. Didnt need to boast like hes a bad ass, he used his skill and with a little luck performed the impossible and laughed. perfect

  • Ive heard this is the perfect game for guys called Homer!! Homersexuals!! Hahahaha that ridiculous Freddie Mercury disguise doesnt fool me!! Hahaha

  • i came close to doing something like that. went for the 4 and 7 and got the 10 as well :)

  • no

  • @ISeePineapples FUCK YOU IT IS NOT FAKE I WAS THERE

  • @ISeePineapples says the guy who looked it up lol

  • the only thing i hate is tht he shakes it off, doesnt show any energy; u picked up the big four, be proud of yourself

  • @mysterysk814

    The reason why he didn't go crazy was because he was shocked that it even happend. He didn't go crazy because he knows that he got lucky on that shot.

  • is it just me or does the annoucer sound like JBL from WWE

  • Swagg.

  • He almost looks embarrassed - if I did that I'd go as insane as the crowd

  • Congratulations you've just seen a 100,000 - 1 shot.

  • His face... priceless! :)

  • So I just picked up th Greek Church today and the pin action was just like this, which leads me to believe that I could pick the Big Four up eventually. And for Walter Ray, well that's why he is the best ever.

  • The expression on Walter's face @ 0:52: "Holy sh*t, I just made that spare!"

  • Comment removed

  • I love the WTF-eyes at 0:52

  • hahahahahaah

  • fake :)

  • @DiAi Hahahahaha :-)

  • It's like japanese bowling.

  • Ten Pin bowling..... its like 1 giant nerd convention

  • @frankmat a nerd convention, you are such a prick.. bowling is one of the best things to do. You must have no life.

  • @Thedarkbrother20 The claim that "bowling is one of the best things to do" makes it seem like YOU have no life, no life whatsoever.

  • @Hoopermazing Why do you hate bowling. It is a great thing to do and happens to be my favorite hobby. Whether you hate it or not, it doesn't mean you can insult everyone who loves it too. So keep your negative comments to yourself and also why would you watch this video if you hate bowling???

  • @Thedarkbrother20 I don't "hate bowling" at all. I've got a couple of $150+ finger-tip-drilled bowling balls in my closet at home as I type this. In a world of possibilities, it's simply not "one of the best things you can do."

  • @Hoopermazing That is impressive. What kind of bowling balls do you got. I have 2 as of right now and in a few weeks getting a new one. Why is it not the best thing you can do. I mean I am trying to go pro in this. (also have finger-tipped)

  • @Thedarkbrother20 They are old. One is a purple Triton Elite and the other is a Storm Firestorm... and I have a cheap ass brunswik ball (also finger-tip drilled) that I used for a spare ball (because it's slippery and no matter how much spin I put on it, it rolled relatively straight on a normally oiled lane.)

  • @Hoopermazing Nice. I am right now stuck with a Tantrum bowling ball, but the pro shop at the bowling alley where i work at is getting some new stuff during the middle of the month. Soon after that I will be using a new one, but I am also stuck with a damn plastic ball. Spare balls are usually not meant to curve period. They are made just to make your spares really. How long have you been bowling for and also, do you usually clean your bowling balls to help with the lanes?

  • @Thedarkbrother20 Yeah I know... that's why I used the Bruswick ball for a spare ball. I could roll it the same way but it went straight. When I used to bowl, I used to buy balls that were used at PBA tournaments. I cleaned them every time I bowled. I haven't bowled in years... but I was in a league when I worked at a place where everyone bowled. Now, it's golf.

  • @Hoopermazing Tournaments...nice...They do have a lot of good stuff there but also you may have been cleaning them but there is a method that a guy in the pro shop where I work told me to leave the bowling ball outside to rid the oil off. Just because you cleaned it doesn't mean it was going to rid of oil.

  • @Thedarkbrother20 I never really had a problem with oil affecting the tracking of my bowling balls. However, a friend of mine used to run his bowling balls through his dishwasher. I never felt the need to go to those extremes.

  • @Hoopermazing Your kidding. That is extreme.

  • @Thedarkbrother20 It's more extreme than simply polishing the ball. Like I said before. When I bowled, I had a hook-up with a shop that got barely used high-end PBA tournament balls. So, I never hung onto a ball for any length of time. Many times, I ended up selling the balls for more than I paid for them after a few months.

  • @Thedarkbrother20 I knew another guy who actually baked his bowling balls in the oven. I didn't have time for all of that.

  • Did this in a money match against a friend of mine in the third frame. There was one other group in the house that happened to have a nun in it. There were about 10 guys watching us bowl. Made the spare they go nuts I turned around and said "EAT THAT BITCHS!!! Oh shit the nun!" lol

  • @SherlockHolmes8000 You think you know bowling? Fuck you. Wii bowling is shit. If you think there's no skill in bowling why not you try bowling and tell me how easy it is. And no the lane is completely flat, asshole. Its all about skills.

  • @SherlockHolmes8000 Youre a fucking dumbass. THERE IS A BUTTON BUT ITS ON THE FREAKING BALL RETURN. THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK CAN DO IT FROM THERE. DID YOU NOT SEE IT??? THE PIN BOUNCED AND HIT THE OTHER PIN. ALSO THERE IS NO FUCKING GROOVE IN THE WOOD ITS CALLED USING HAND ROTATION AND HAVING A BALL THAT CAN CURVE. JUST BECAUSE A BALL CAN CURVE DOESNT MEAN IT WILL. IF THERE WERE TO BE A GROOVE WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT ENTRY POINTS THEN??? YOU KNOW NOTHING

  • i picked up this split when i was only 8 years old ............. seriosly i was amazesed of what i did................. i hit the 10 pin which nipped the 6 pin caussing it to roll over to the 4 pin then nocking that backwards to the 7 pin letting me pick u this split!!!!!!

  • lol ive seen that alot when my school(for P.E.) went bowling. because everyone there is a noob at bowling. everyone just throws it straight

  • Think that was good or rare??? I've got a bigger rarity! Try Candlepin bowling sometime- you can't EVER get a 300 game in this version of bowling- go and look here on You Tube and SEE how impossible that feat has always been- AND WILL ALWAYS BE!

    Thx

  • I hate split period!!!

  • ive done that b4... the 7 10 is soo hard...

  • You sir are dead wrong. That pin in the back bounced back out to knock over the 7 which knocked over the 4.

  • i picked this up by hurling my ball at the 4-7 wedging the 4-7 between the ball the and the pit carpet shooting the 7 over bouncing off the wall and tapping the 10 which fell into the 6 pin and im a righty

  • picked this up on a sanction league tournament got it by a love tap ^.^ luck or not i still picked up the big 4 XD

  • if i was ryan shafer i would be so pisseed off

  • I have picked this up in sanctioned bowling league. November of 2008. Such a nice patch as well. I didn't bring the pin out of the pit though. The 6 slid across, pegged the 4, then slid softly into the 7 almost not making it fall.

  • Walter Ray reminds me of Al Bundy in that reaction shot

  • this is the 4--6-7-10, not hte 4-7-10.

    4-7-10 is not hard to make. stop self promoting yourself and better your bowling skills.

  • 6 Pins with a circle around it, SPARE!!!

  • Wicked shot! :53 LOL xD

  • Amazing John Madden Moment

  • Walter Ray is like WTF

  • Good lesson for all you kids out there: never turn your back on the ball.

    I've heard this split called the big four, double pinochle but when I bowled on a league with my cousins we called it Uncle Jr Teeth.

  • A friend of mine converted the 7-10 without watching it :P

  • That was a pretty hot split conversion.

  • OMFG Is this Awesome :D Nice!

  • If we use that example, then people who win a game of basketball should just quit. People who get a home run should quit. People who get an perfect score on a math test should just quit.

    People keep bowling because it's fun. Some people are so good at it, they make money off of it and do it for a living. Just because YOU might not see it as fun doesn't make it stupid.

  • @Master898 : Said from someone who doesn't know much about the sport. Elements change in bowling too. Lane conditions vary in oil pattern. It's also nearly impossible to throw the same ball twice, controlling the revolution rate/speed to adjust to the lane. As you can see in the video, situations change and people have to come up with tough shots. If bowling were as easy as you make it out to be, then I agree that it would be stupid. It's not an easy game to master.

  • @LazyArseEddie yeah, well..I've been bowling couple of times and at least its damn fun even though I have hard times figuring the depth of the sport. However, I guess you are right..

  • @LazyArseEddie how does it feel to have your comments as the most liked for this video? haha

  • @LazyArseEddie totally agree, i want to bowl for the rest of my life [:

  • man hes an awesome bowler

  • bahahahaha look at shafers reaction at 0:44 - 0:47

  • dang!! and the look of surprise on his face!!! wow

  • i picked up a 7-8-10 the other day no kidding

  • Ive done a 7-8-9-10 of course i used it during practise mode

  • 7-10 or big 4: which is more impressive?

  • ive made the big 4, the 7-9, 3-7-10, 4-7-10 ,6-7-10, 4-6 but never the 2-8-10 or 7-10 i just cant get tht lucky bounce!!

  • made the big 4 just last week, made the 4-10, 4-6, 6-7, 7-9, and 2-7 splits. i came very close to making the 7-10 but the damn pin stopped short

  • i know how u feel i almost picked up the 7-10 on the pba shot, it bounced off the side wall and made it wiggle!!!!

  • mine moved to the left & the tip if the pin stopped short of hitting the 7 pin

  • haha listen to randy at 0:19

  • Comment removed

  • I've seen this done in person, and it's definately up there with the 7-10

  • Mozza, Roth, Willams Jr.: who would win?

  • what about Dick Weber, Earl Anthony, and Johnny Petraglia!

  • or all 6 square off in a tournament

  • Walter's reaction is priceless!!! 0:47 sec

  • How I converted my 7-9 split? I lightly dusted the 9 pin on the right side. It barely dropped to the left, rolled over toward the 7 pin, and the 9 had just enough oomph to barely trip over the 7 pin. The bowling moment I will never forget. I made this split in the spring of 1973.

  • sooooooooooo much leverage on that shot

  • I was there! The crowd went absolutely insane.

  • that must've been some sight there, to witness one of the biggest splits been converted by one of the greatest bowlers of all time.

  • It really was. What made it funnier was that my brother said "Give ya a dollar if you make it!" before the shot. I don't think it ever got paid lol.

  • rofl!! nice, but he did make it, so he should get alot more than just 1 dollar

  • Lucky you....you got to see something pretty special you will probably never see again...lol!

  • @georgiadawg278 ikr!!!!!! lol

  • I have picked up the 4-6 and the Greek Church but I think the big four is harder. Only the 7-10 is harder than that one. Maybe the sour apple (5-7-10)

  • It's the sour apple.

  • sour apple is the hardest shot, if you see a clip on here of someone making that shot, please send it to me. i want to see that.

  • ive made the sour apple haha it was during a 24 hour of bowling event and i was messing around with a 6 pounder, just two finger the ball and hit the 5 by crossing over (ima righty) the 6 pounder will deflect off the 5 and hit the 7 and send the 5 over to the 10..its quite a funny sight to see!

  • The night of my junior prom in high school, I converted a 7-9 split in front of my classmates, but this 4-6-7-10 conversion sure puts mine to shame.....lol.

  • a 7-9 split is still pretty impressive

  • No fucking way. The man is my hero.

  • OMG!

  • I've seen the 4-7-10 done, a 6-7-10 done, but a 4-6-7-10? Wow, I am absolutely speechless.

  • im glad it was walter that got it first. hes a machine. i picked that up in league last year doin the mirror of what williams did it. hit the 4 7 and kicked the 10 foreward. made 50 bucks too from spectator bets!!

  • eso quedo demasiado....la ley

  • does anyone know if a 1 7 10 has ever been set up or if it has ever been converted?

  • 1-7-10 I've had set up, it's not too tough to pick up, the 5-7-10 is the one I've never seen picked up.

  • That lucky SOB! Pretty damn epic, man... I would be jumping up and down for that guy!!

  • LOOK OUT! OUT!OH, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!

    lmao

  • its impossible to hit this by keeping it on the lane. the only way to hit alot of splits is to basically get lucky and bounce it out of the back. like the 7-10. there is no angle to hit it at where u can keep it on the lane lol

  • im honestly dissapointed ive been watching a couple of spare videos and they all seem to be bounces off the back none are actually because they angled it correctly to shoot across the lane....

  • for these types of splits (7-10, 4-6-7-10, 4-6, etc), it's pretty much impossible to slide a pin across the lane horizontally. the only way to pick them up would be to bounce them.

  • The 7-10 split is only possible to convert when on pin or the other is deflected out of the pit and back onto the pin deck to trip the remaining pin. The "BIG 4" can be made by either sliding the 4 or 6 pin over to the other side of the lane, or by doing what Walter Ray did in this video. However, pros normally succumb to the split and simply shoot for the most likely highest count. In this situation, Walter Ray went for 2 and got all 4. This is why he didn't attempt to slide the pins over.

  • The 7-10 can also be converted by hitting the 7 pin on the right side and bouncing it off the wall. It will come across the lane and hit the 10. Or vice versa.

  • That is why Deadeye is the best spare shooter in the history of the PBA.

  • Does this mean that "Kendra" also has the potential to be the best spare shooter in the PBA? Search for "Kendra converts 4-6-7-10" and you'll see the video to which I'm refering.  This was simply luck, and whether you're a great spare shooter or a poor one, you cannot calculate this and execute it at will.

  • f---ing lucky

  • OMG u are f*cking stupid. This takes very little luck! Its 97% skill! lets see you pick it up!

  • And no one likes your talk either. You have no room to talk so fuck off orangeeyes

  • you clearly dont know much about bowling. I was one of the top 10 high school bowlers in new jersey in 2005, with a season avg of 218 and i can tell you confidently that making a split like this requires a lot of luck. the skill part is just picking up one of the 2 pairs on the sides. Randomly having one of the pins bounce off the back or perfectly slide over is not something people practice or "get good at".

  • At 0:52.."Fuck this shit..wait..WAIT!"

  • I picked this up today. No cheating, either.

  • I lol'd at his double-take at 0:50

  • Haha he looks like a Schnauzer in that shot.

  • YES!!!!! GOD DAM*!!!!!!

  • I have picked the "big 4" spare up ONCE!!! I ran around my bowling alley like an idiot!

  • yo.... thats awsome... but have you ever hit the

    1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10... thats right.. i went there.

  • i have and ur an idiot thats all the pins

  • hahaha you dont have to be so hard on me.. i was just trying to make a joke. lol.

    And i actually meant what I said when i said it was awesome that you hit the big 4

  • wow.... your the one calling him an idiot! Only a stupid person wouldn't get that joke.

  • That was sick! I thought this split was impossible to make. I sure many have believed it is. Very impressive stuff there.

  • that's why hes a legend lol

  • hahahha 0:52 his face is amazing

  • you need the double take which starts at 0:49 that makes the :52 amazing.....

  • i've been trying to get this split for sometime now, i guess its all about the luck

  • hi, well i have been having some problems with my thumb(blisters & caluses, that kind of stuff)and im looking into a thumb insert... but im not sure if this will help, if anyone knows if a thumb insert would help me with my problem please tell me what u know

  • The pitch of your thumbhole may be off. I had a problem with blisters on the bottom of my thumb and all I needed was just a plug-and-redrill of the thumbhole with the correct pitch.
