7-10 Split + Deadwood Challenge | $100 Wager vs Pro Bowler? | Ft. Mitch Hupe

[@kristo605]

I've been bowling 35+ years and I just made my first 7-10 a couple of months ago after watching Mitch's first video. A-2 pinsetter, followed his same strategy (fired it at the 7-pin on the left lane) and it bounced right across just like Mitch did. It was unreal. For real though, 94-for-96 on single pins across the two videos is incredible. His form never wavered even when getting tired. And he only missed the two because he was trying to cut it close.

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

That's what separates the pros from the rest of us.

[@Steve_Edberg]

Actually he was only 93 for 96. Missed he missed one 7 pin in the first video and 2 in this one.

[@PapaPorpoise247]

That last one was insane! Making the 7-10 across the ball return 🤯😂

[@Kit-and-Stoma-Bob]

I've made one 7-10... I was really throwing it as fast as I could, and thought I'd missed left, I clipped the left hand side of the 10 pin so thinly, it kicked into the sidewall and pinged off, then rolled very slowly scross the deck into the 7 that I'd already turned away, when I few cheers. I looked back and couldn't believe it had gone.

[@brianchester4218]

Never made the split but agree i go for the left side 10 pin hard and light been close several times but no cigar as yet, currently running out of years

[@joshg218]

Fun watch for sure. Need more competition between you guys for fun

[@greenmachine6146]

USBC is solid on a lot of equipment specs, but it seems lacking on this one. I've converted multiple 7-10's on Brunswick A2 systems and never really questioned other systems until now. The variance in the equipment design allowed is eye opening.

[@thebigeasy8609]

So entertaining guys! No in 51 years of bowling never picked a 7-10. Now what we all want to see Jungo with the Roto Grip UC3 vs Barks and the Purple Hammer, in a urethane match to the death! Or for a cup of coffee. You two decide!

[@reyngel]

That was actually super fun to watch

[@richiedeez]

**Put down the plastic ball** I grew up on GS pinsetters. I have had the most luck using my strike ball cross lane and letting it straighten out so it is going straight at or through the 10 pin. It follows the pin straight back and pinches it against the curtain. From there I have for sure shot it out as deadwood and or thrown it back on the deck to roll it around. That was with at least 20+ MPH. Or hooking it cross lane into the 7 pin and hitting it slightly thin to hit the side wall and come back and bounce off the top of the ball. Works for 4 7 10 to create madness in the pit on the 4 7 side. With my Master Shifu voice Again!

[@shannondingus8430]

7-10's... made it at least 10 times. I've brought the 10 pin back up the lane across the foul line 3 times. I could throw it 29-30mph in my younger days. Now at 43 it's about 25-26mph. That flap on the gsx's makes it almost impossible to bounce anything out..

[@Mikey-1990]

In my twenty years of bowling and more seven ten leaves than I'd like to admit, I've only ever made it once in my sport shot league back in 2018. Threw it as hard as I could at the ten. It smacked against the side wall, rolled across and just had enough steam to take out the seven. I've come extremely close just earlier this season by almost replicating the exact bounce but it just missed the seven going across.

[@ChanceOfOne344254]

I've made one 7-10 on GS-X, and it was the same way Anthony Neuer did it at the US Open Hit the inside of the 10 pin on the left lane with a high amount of angle, and potentially it could go upwards. On the right lane, I always go for the 7 pin with the same strategy.

[@minibowler]

That's actually a GS-98 pinsetter not a GS-X.... Still I've only got one pin back up on the deck on a GS style pinsetter.

[@strikeking14]

Like Jungo said, Its widely impressive to see him hit that many 7s and 10s. He literally wasnt even trying and he barely has to think about hitting it, he just had trouble focusing on "where" to hit it. Never questioning he could hit it.

[@yanniwan181]

took it down one time in 14 years, it was on a GSX but Brunswick wooden pins not the twister pins full plastic. These full plastic twister pins are extremly hard to bounce from anywhere, messengers are also more rare on these pins than any other wood pin.

[@scottythompson940]

Cool video talk to tech bowling Jr pro shop

[@ccastro30]

He is so positive. I love it.

[@jamesvarela7409]

i’ve made one 😊 crushed 7 pin (ball speed ~ 21mph) against left wall and bounced off my ball and across the deck hitting the 10

[@kcbowls300]

Yep, I have made one, Lord knows I have left a bunch. Like Mitch said you never forget the first one made. I was on lane 1, PISSED off mind you, and I threw the 16lb spare ball as hard as I could, hit the 7 pin thin on the right, hits the left side wall, bounces directly in the center of the pit, pops out tumbling end over end and crushes the top of the 10pin.

[@mystikalous]

I picked up the 7-10 split 4 times in a span on a month right before Covid shut everything down. Got 3 on film. Got the most recent one during league play and got a patch lol.

[@Blue-cq2hl]

I've come close by clipping the 7 but it went off the back before it could hit the 10 lol

[@mikeboglio1410]

Yes! Got it my first an only time a couple months ago! 22+ mph straight at the inside of the 7 pin. I'm still trying for that first 300 game tho...

[@PinoyBowlerGS92]

This is gonna be fun to watch especially Brunswick GS Pinsetters were hard to get pins out lol

[@carlschultz9981]

The curtain isn’t fixed on these pinsetters and it’s designed to absorb the energy from the pins so they just die into the back of the pit. Whereas the A2s have a fixed curtain to a backstop which allows for the bounce.

[@bigboots6114]

pit cushions on A2 have metal in them and the curtains are attached on top of said cushion

[@brandonwolfgang755]

I like your Brian Voss story where he says why not this one ..when I made my first one through it 19.5 at 5he ten and it went over to the 7 like a demon 50 people in the bowling alley and only two people saw it haha...but b4 I through the ball I literally said well I haven't missed it yet ..when I made it im ohhhhh and this one dude grabbed his afro and started spinning around im like did you see that man ! And the lady at the desk was like what so I said 7 10 ...7 10 haha and I started talking with that dude for a few mins haha he said it was the first one he saw ..he said he seen me the next day and said when I walked in I looked high on life hahah it was only practice though

[@timwatson3192]

That was CRAZY!! No made 7-10s for me but I sure as heck have left a CRAP TON this year

[@tomatowado3222]

Only 7-10 I've made was chopping it from the big 4. Missed the 4-6 but got the 7-10

[@threadedtales1]

i would literally cry

[@rickcashell1916]

I've made it twice. First time was at the Vargo tournament (heavy magnesium pins) back in the mid '80s. Second time was at Boston Bowl on plastic Twister pins in the mid-late '90s.

[@bosoares]

That's like the house I bowl at. There's no bouncing pins off the back. It absorbs all the energy in the pins.

[@ifyoudidntknownowyoudo6326]

Damn. Not even a deadwood? That's crazy. No. I haven't made one. But I like that logic you just gave. 1 is better than none. And why not this one.

[@logantincher7151]

I’ve made 1 7-10 split in my 10 years of bowling. It was in a high school match, I hooked at the 7 pin to mix things up and hit the left side of it and it smacked the 10 pin

[@bwlnfreak]

I've made the 7 10 a couple times. Best one was I picked it off on the first ball in a low ball tournament in Boulder City, Nevada...near Las Vegas

[@OfficialGH98]

Surprising how that bowling alley uses the GS-98 pinsetters.

[@WestPac-ny9vi]

2 in open play, one one AMF where the 10 pins bounced out on the deck and rolled into the 7 and one on Brunswick A2 bounced 10 pin out of the back and it flew over to the 7pn.

[@jayfrancois2453]

I've made it twice. Throwing at the 10 (lefty) and hitting it thin on the lane side. It bounced off the sidewall, hit my ball in the pit, came back out and got the 7. Almost exactly like his attempt with 13 remaining. Don't remember how the 2nd one happened though.

[@sports1st]

I was working on a 6 bagger, next ball was a pocket 7-10. Was pissed and threw the ball super hard at the 10 pin and it came back on top of the ball and ricocheted and took the 7 out. This was in 1983.

[@enigmazero8624]

Can one of you ask Mitch if he looks at the pin on spare shots, or the arrows or uses the same targeting as on strike shots? I use the same targeting method and find it kind of hard to adjust which side of a pin to aim for, but if I look at the pin I always miss to the right for some reason.

[@mircominiajb]

Does the weight of the bowling ball determine if the ball hooks more or not? Example. If I buy a 10 lbs Brunswick Rhino Red/Black/Gold Pearl, will it hook less than a heavier pound ball that’s the exact same but weighs more?

[@jrproshop]

Sometimes the cores may be slightly different in a ball depending on the weight. Usually the heavier balls have more potential to hook than the lighter weights

[@mircominiajb]

@@jrproshop I'll start working on using heavier weighted balls. My goal is to buy a Brunswick Rhino Red/Black/Gold Pearl ball but I want the best I can get out it in a way. Only been bowling constantly for a few months so that will be my first ball =)

[@igorhabljak3218]

I made 7-10 6 times, in 2 different centres. The curtains are crucial. If they absorb energy and are not stretched, it is almost impossible to make it. If the sidewalls are hard and screwed in tight, that will give you a higher chance of making it. Btw, I throw a 12pound house ball, 30Mph (off-hand) on these attempts, so it helps a little.

[@MythicYetiiiiii]

The world record of a actually rolled and thrown bowling ball is 28mph, you would be pretty popular with the natural speed of 30mph

[@Landcaster_YT]

@@MythicYetiiiiii Clearly you have never seen Osku Palermaa's one-handed throw

[@MythicYetiiiiii]

@@Landcaster_YT watched his lasers plenty of times, hints why hes famous

[@mofiaman83]

I've made 3 of them in league, 7 overall. But like mitch said, I'll never forget the first one. Hit the 7 pin, rake came down, 7 pin popped out of the back hit the rake then rolled back into the 10 pin. AND won the game because of it, other team was big time mad haha

[@WilmingtonOHProductions]

One main key factor is how the curtain is adjusted and the tighter is is the harder it is for bounce outs to happen so the way I see it is the curtains weren't too tight on the A2s at Northrock hence how it was actually able to be converted 7 times

[@homerlex]

I made 1 7-10 in league. In practice I picked the 7-10 off a full rack when practicing shooting 10 pins.

[@langdonogeay1141]

I did the same thing lol. 7-10 with a full rack during practice

[@NeffRanch]

Where is this place

[@jrproshop]

Richmond, BC, Canada! 🇨🇦

[@SirJoelsuf1]

On Mitch's 3rd shot I was like "yeah he's going at it on the wrong side, you gotta be near the channel" There actually IS an adjustment to bouncing pins out. The machinery in the pit and the deck will tell you what you should do. Like the place I bowl at has Brunswick decks and A2 pits, so if you hit the pin on the other side of the channel it will have a better chance of bouncing out and being dead wood. But if you hit near the channel it'll fly out of the pit.

[@Todulchaos]

you do realize A-2s are a Brunswick machine as is the GSX

[@ShaunRajewski]

@@Todulchaos Pits and curtains are completely different on A2s vs. GS series. GS is notoriously hard to bounce because of the curtain design. Significantly easier to bounce A2s (especially inverted curtains) and on AMF 82-70/90/EDGE's.

[@TheCD5150]

@@Todulchaos This center is using Brunswick GS-98s which is the predecessor to the GSX. GS-98s aren't common here in the USA.

[@ScottySchweggs]

Best way to convert the 7-10 on GSX pinsetters is to throw the ball with lots of speed (duh) drive the pin straight back and hopefully it bounces off the ball. Otherwise I've seen them bounce if you shoot the inside of the pin that's near the ball door. More revs on the plastic would definitely help too

[@grantframe910]

Converted 3 times. Three separate houses with one being at national bowling stadium during USBC open

[@cedricwright4122]

I can't believe I watched this video to the end.

[@expertbowlergaming]

I have made the 7-10 on GSX pinsetters about 3 times. I made it at nationals a couple of years ago. It's so hard because of that flap for the curtain and the T band just eats up the momentum when pins touch it.

[@travelingyinzer5817]

How does pinsetter affect deadwoods?

[@jrproshop]

The way it’s built in the back, some machines have a metal piece in which pins can bounce off. Most don’t

[@travelingyinzer5817]

@@jrproshop ahh ok gotcha. Thank you. I was just thinking the machine that picks up and sets the pins, not the back of the machine

i rlly thought he was gonna get one forsure since hes the 7-10 king. lucky9 lanes rlly shows how bouncy wichita was since he made 7. the best split ive made was 4-7-10, the 4 slid to the 10 at the slowest speed ever. was super surprised

[@yellamamba4554]

Lol, seen this guy's titok! Jungo was on a mission!

[@timnelson832]

I’ve made the 7-10 a handful of times. Maybe 2 in league. Hitting the ten and bouncing off the side wall into the 7.

[@brunobrandao8512]

I bowl at a center with GS-X pinsetters and throwing a 11lbs house ball at almost 32mph doesn’t even bounce a pin. The curtain hangs like a doggy door which makes it harder to bounce pins, none the less at one another.

[@jeffreychin9559]

I've made the 7-10 once about 30 years ago. I have the ABC patch. I hit the 10 on the right side and it slid along the back curtain and somehow hit the 7.

[@grantschoeck]

This is exactly how my home lanes are, I can’t bounce a pin for shit.

[@thomasrowe8095]

My thing is hit the 7 on the right or the 10 on the left to make it hit the wall and give the ball time to go back and make the pin bounce of the ball into the other pin

You bounce more what now than pins 🤣🤣

[@tobycundell6990]

I've made 3, first one technically didn't count as the 4 and 6 were still standing after 😳🤣. Quite the way to get a 6-2 on a big 4. One of the real conversions was on the Brunswick machines same as here so it can be done, other in an AMF house, which are easier I think...

A few years ago on my summer league I bought a new pair of shoes for my 18-year-old at the pro shop. I've known the pro shop owner for years and he was also on the league and bowling on the lanes next to us. She had a 7-10 split and he told her that if she makes it her shoes are free. Of course, she didn't. Then, he had a 7-10 split and I joked I would buy him a pair of shoes. Let's just say we settled on me buying him a beer instead.

[@781David]

I never made a 7-10, came close a number of times. I was bowling mostly on AMF 82-70s - I would go for the 10 to hit it dead on, sometimes the pin would hit the cushion & my ball hit the pin again when it was against the cushion. And that pin would sometimes end up on the other side of the pit. I had that 10 pin end up in the left hand gutter next to the 7 several times. So close, but yet so far away...
