Several years ago, a lane mechanic who'd been around the game a long time told me that whenever you're shooting a 7-10 split and you're bowling on Brunswick A-2 pinsetters, the odds are best that you go for the "outside" pin on the pair. In other words, the 7 pin on the left lane, or the 10 pin on the right lane. And indeed, you're bowling on lanes with Brunswick A-2 pinsetters here in this video, and sure enough, every conversion you made here came just that way -- when you hit the 10 pin on the right lane or the 7 pin on the left lane. There were several others that bounced out, but the conversions only came when you adhered to that game plan. 7 out of 48 tries is pretty impressive, I must say, even for a PBA player. They must have some very lively kickbacks at that house. I've rarely seen so many pins bounce out as in this video. But here's something you can try for. Back in the late '70s, I would practice sometimes at Golden Triangle Lanes in Irving, Texas. One day when I was bowling with a friend, he made the 10 pin and the darn thing bounced out and was past the rake before the rake had time to come down. The pin was spinning as it got in the oil and just kept coming back. Finally, it ran out of steam and rolled to the side and went into the gutter, where it came to rest against the gutter cap at the foul lane. A week later when we were bowling, he did it again. But this time, the pin had enough energy and stayed in the oily part of the lane (in the middle) that it came back past the foul line. He was gonna grab it, but I waved him off because I wanted to see how far it would come before it ran out of energy. It came back all the way to the front row of dots on the approach, 12 feet behind the foul line when it finally rolled to the side. I've made the Greek Church three times (and twice in two weeks), and I've made the Double Pinochle (aka, the "Big Four," the 4-6-7-10). But the only time I ever made the 7-10 was when I was a junior bowler. I was about 11 at the time, and unfortunately, I was shooting at a strike. The ball slipped off my hand and rolled down and clipped off the 10 pin. Obviously, pins from the last rack were still rattling around on the shaker board in the pit, because something bounced up and tipped out the 7 pin from behind. That's right, I clipped the 7-10 off of a full rack on my strike attempt, leaving the 1-2-3-4-5-6-8-9 spare. I'll bet you've never seen that left before! LOL! (I made it.)
The accidental 7-10 with a full rack reminds me of the time I had a ball bounce out of the gutter and only take out the back 4 (7-8-9-10). Only pins 1-6 remained LOL. Really wild sight, shot in Roswell GA what was formerly Brunswick Zone
@@ross2342 -- That's the bowling center where I coached for about 8 years, and launched a UA-cam series called PRODIGY BOWLERS TOUR about 5 years ago. ua-cam.com/video/vUyISwJa87w/v-deo.html
You could NEVER get the bounce out of the back to do this at any of the houses I bowl at. I've hit one in 30 years of bowling and it came off the gutter and rolled over.
Not that I could do as well as this guy, but it looks like there’s something going on with the curtains in the back. I’ve bowled in my house with them hanging where virtually every pin bounces out of the back regardless of how hard the ball is thrown. If you look carefully, you can see the curve the back curtain on each lane.
@@DesertBowler Yep, no curtain like that at any center i've ever bowled at, they don't bounce off the curtain every shot like this house does, of course he has 7 by the end
there are different clamps on the curtains, some have center clamps and some dont, the ones without leave the curtain hanging and they just eat all the velocity of the pin action. It sucks that hanging curtainsvare much more common.
OMG - one of the greatest videos! Mitch Hupe for Player’s President! Fantastic to watch and share and reshare! Challenge EJ, Prather, and Andy Neuer! Thank you Brent Bowers for setting up all 48!
I was always told to shoot the 7 pin on the odd lane and the 10 pin on the even lane. The theory is the slight slope in the machine to help bring the ball toward the ball door. Basically trying to send the pin toward the ball door.
This split honestly 95% depends on the bowling center. Our house has kick backs from the 80s... we NEVER get bounce off the sidewalls for this split to convert. I think 1 guy in the last 15 years has picked it in our house. I think the pin action Mitch got is a good indicator that the house is in good up to date shape! 7 for 48 is crazy!
All bout the curtain. If it’s convex to the bowler it deflects pin downward to shaker. If it’s pushed back and concave to bowler, the pin will deflect back to pin deck more often. Fun video to watch!
That's was amazing. I'd like to share some old personal notes that could help (or not?). I was good, very good. My first job was at a 32 lane house in Oklahoma, so I could set the shots up just like this. I preferred shooting split shots so I could have the training for tournaments and big games just in case. The only split that eluded me is the 4-6. I just could never ping it. So, with the 7-10, I thought that the best shot would be the opposite of the ball return (with whatever hand you are), flat, hard, and low rev. The divider in between the lanes is thinner and I felt can help make the ball "thump" the pin better. The side where the ball return absorbs the impact and kinetics of the ball and pin more, and you lose spring power. I also feel that being on wood and synthetic lanes play much difference in the absorption to impact of the ball and pins. I feel wood gives you a little less room for luck as synthetic is rubbery in bounce. These are just my opinions, but I hope you might apply them to your arsenal of knowledge. You're amazing. Now do a string of 4-6's, I'd love to see that.
Look guys... I’m flipping ASTOUNDED!!! That was a completely SICK display! Mitch, you’re the bomb! Thanks for doing that... and I’m POSITIVE that was very tiring!
I saw a video with a robotic arm shooting at the 7-10. It tried 5 times. missed all of them. Also they talked about how they have made the back area of the lanes now to kill the bounce. Great job Mitch!!
Good Job Mitch. Also a shout out to Northrock Lanes for getting all the 7-10's set up and letting you try the challenge. I practiced at Northrock in 1989 before bowling the ABC Tournament at the Convention Center Only picked up the 7-10 twice, both in practice in 40 years of Bowling. Did pick up the Big 4 in league that same way Walter Ray did on TV where he shot the 6 pin into the left corner of the pit and bounced up and hit the 7 from behind and the 7 fell on the 4 pin. Just like Walter Ray I almost didn't see it as I was walking back of the approach and turned around at the last second to see it. Mitch you need to do a Big 4 Challenge also.
This house has some great kick plates! Wish more houses were like this. I throw my 7-10 sometimes touching close to 30 mph and at most places I still can't get the pin to kock up like that. Made a few iny lifetime bit not even close to this %. Nicely done!
So fun to watch. Seriously, should submit this for some new Guinness record. Plus, have other pros attempt it over 48 lanes as well. That would be fun. Start with other members of the house. Awesome Mitch! From a fellow Mitch
@@TheHouseBowling Lol! Never in my life, at least not without help from a 4 or 6 pin sliding over, haha! That’s why I had much fun watching Mitch convert so many!
This is damn impressive. I wonder how many pros could match this... Maybe you guys need to make this a series and invite other bowlers to participate!!!
@@ecstaticallyextreme It's not about being "good". You need a bowling alley that has tons of bounce off the back curtain. This same guy wouldn't be able to make 7-10's at many other places.
@@ecstaticallyextreme how many times does a pro get an opportunity to throw for a 7-10 televised split? Maybe 48 times in a career... That's why the number is low. If a pro could throw the same shot 48 times in a row they'd increase the score dramatically!
Dry backend vs oiled backend. At my bowling center the oil machine only stripped the backend. When get a rabbit its a real one. Slippery backend make too much out of range during gameplay thats why a lot of house do dry backend.
i have done it twice. my spare ball is a 6lb specifically because of how well the pin bounces with them. that and you have a chance for the ball to bounce into the other pin depending on the split
Very creative and fun challenge to watch! Now if Mitch makes a show any time soon, I'd almost expect him to convert a 7-10 split should he have the misfortune of leaving one.
I think the only person that really has a chance to beat that is Mikey! But pretty cool to see Mitch get 7!! Congrats to the 7 people who are going to win some bowling balls!!
When I was a teenager , My idea of converting the 7 - 10 split was to hit the 7 barely on the right hand side , bank it off the wall , and have it slide into the 10 pin . The problem with that scenario is that the ball would hit the 7 pin , bank off the wall ,slide to the right , and hit the bowling ball as it was right in the way ! BTW I have NEVER converted the notorious 7 - 10 split ! My good friend Mark converted the 7 - 10 split on a bowling league .
On an A-2 pinsetter, the best chance you have of getting a corner pin to bounce out of the rear is to hit the inside quadrant of the pin. And since there's no angle on the kickback, it makes no difference what pin you shoot at.
So I worked at a bowling alley for 16 years, Brunswick pinsetters have this thing called a curtain that helps deaden the pins from bouncing so much. If you look close enough at this video, the curtain is pushed back on the lanes he's throwing on making the pins bounce more than usual. We used to push the curtain back after we closed up the alley and see how many 7 10s we could make.
That's disconcerting information. Before receiving this intelligence I was considering asking this chappie to speak at our next Christian convention as his power appeared to be out of this world.
Cool! Mitch made 7 more 7-10s In one afternoon than I have in 46 years. It may be selective memory at work but I don’t think I’ve had to shoot at it more than 40 times.
Helped me to help my family, we are poor and I want to change our life, fund my transport project in my country please😢😥 or give me charity😞 don't take me for a scammer I just need to be helped
I think Sean Rash will have the true million to one shot when he slid the ten pin over to take out the seven. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it possible. (It's here on YT)
Holy crap, that is simply AMAZING!!! . . I thought maybe you would get 1 .. but 7 .. are your freaking kidding me? .. WOW!!! .. just WOW!!! .. awesome man!
OK that was just plain awesome. 7 on 48 lanes is bad ass. He hit the 10 pin every shot and almost in the same spot each time. Right on Mitch that was cool as fook.
The pins do fly in that house. Bowled the southwest tourney there this year, and a guy on our pair covered the7 - 10. next frame left the 10 and threw it across the deck and would have covered it again.
Wow! That was super impressive! I feel like Mitch might be the next guy to make the 7-10 on tv👀. I’ve never made the 7-10 before but I’ve gotten close!
@@TheHouseBowling I haven’t actually. One of my friends has made it twice and I’ve seen him shoot at them before and he gets very close. The coolest split I made was the 8-10 by bouncing the 10 into the 8.
7:00 Called that one as soon as the ball was at the arrows. I bowl in a similar house with similar pins/decks/pit whatever and I've carried dead wood all the way to the arrows shooting them like that lol
This is a cool video. Not only because it shows that picking up the 7-10 is very possible, but also because it shows you where to hit to convert it. Very cool video, nice job, great spare shooting

@@TheHouseBowling that house definitely makes the pins bounce.. Mitch, every one knows that on A2 one goes away from ball tunnel (right lane 10 pin, left lane 7pin.. daaa 🤦♂️)
Making the 7-10 split is an incredible conversion but easily picking up 10 pins or 7 pins the way you do is just amazing. Corner pins are majority of peoples downfall but wow great job!
Notice how every 7-10 you made was when you were shooting the opposite side of the ball return, there's more wall to bounce off of. That's the key. Your real % was super high considering that 👌
Could enter our giveaway on facebook by just sharing the video and tagging one of us in it!! We are giving away 1 for every make so your chances are pretty high!!
I think this video is proof that the 7-10 split can and SHOULD be picked up by more pros on tour but they obviously don't shoot at it very often enough to practice the shot. I bet now that this guy has shot at 48 straight 7-10's he's already started to find the comfort zone on how to shoot it each and every time from this point forward. Put it this way.. if he did this once a week for the next year this guy would become the KING of the 7-10 split just because he's doing something that nobody really practices that consistently. Example? I've been bowling for 30+ years and have been in hundreds of leagues since I was a child and I've probably only shot at the 7-10 split maybe 50 times in my entire life. This guy just shot that many BACK TO BACK. 😎
And of the 50 times (estimated) that I've left the 7-10 split I've only been able to pick it up twice. And 50 is most likely the low end. I've probably left the 7-10 closer to 100 times in my life.
That was some super impressive 10-pin shooting. I thought for sure he’d start missing both sides once he added the 7. Did focusing on the split make the 10 easier? Next time put the speed up guys!
The last one I made was a couple of months ago. I left the greek church--4-6-7-9-10. Threw it trying to slide the 6 over slide to far right, hit the 10 bounced out of the back and hit the 7. Damnest think I've ever seen.
All depends on the bowling center. I bowled at two different alleys 7 nights a week back in the 90's - rotated from one to the other each night for leagues and practice. One of them (Alley A) I was 3 for 10 (30%) on 7-10 splits in about 8 years. The other (Alley B) I was (iirc) 0 for 33 in about 8 years. My buddy and I (we bowled together all of those years in every league) started counting our 7-10's early on after I had three 7-10's and he had two in the same night during leagie at Alley B, and then I had another one the next night at Alley A (which was one that I converted). Alley A had very active pits that gave great pin action, the other had dead pits. My buddy and I simply concluded that the dead pits left us more 7-10's (and other splits) and less chance to pick them up. We both also carried a 13-15 pin higher average at Alley A with the active pits.
It helps to have a back area where the first pin can bounce around off something solid … our lanes have a curtain that is not supported at the bottom, absorbs the energy.

It's another thing to become an expert at leaving 7-10 split setups..I'm able to do it consistent you just have to hit straight down the middle pin
Best bowling video I seen very creative and fun to watch but the fact he made 7 👌🏽 made it that much cooler.
Nice!! 7. Way to go Hupe. You bowled in Sioux Falls with my buddy Sean Mason in a regional this year. Wish i would have bowled that one. Kudos on 7/48
That would’ve been cool to see you there!!
@@TheHouseBowling agreed. I would love ro have bowled with you guys! Didnt know youd be there.
Mitch!! That was amazing! You are a sharpshooter! No way anyone in the house beats that!
I think the only person that really has a chance to beat that is Mikey! But pretty cool to see Mitch get 7!! Congrats to the 7 people who are going to win some bowling balls!!
Wow!! This guy is truly talented and amazing!! Impressive!!
I am seeing more of the 7-10 challenge from the house. Let’s get it
When I was a teenager , My idea of converting the 7 - 10 split was to hit the 7 barely on the right hand side , bank it
off the wall , and have it slide into the 10 pin . The problem with that scenario is that the ball would hit the 7 pin , bank
off the wall ,slide to the right , and hit the bowling ball as it was right in the way ! BTW I have NEVER converted the
notorious 7 - 10 split ! My good friend Mark converted the 7 - 10 split on a bowling league .
On an A-2 pinsetter, the best chance you have of getting a corner pin to bounce out of the rear is to hit the inside quadrant of the pin. And since there's no angle on the kickback, it makes no difference what pin you shoot at.
Maybe it was all about confidence?!
Mitch….you are the king!! You guys ever think about a 4-6-7-10 challenge?
I hope to see more videos like this. It was very entertaining, but also educational.
What video would you want to see next?
@@TheHouseBowling More split conversion videos. The Greek Church was already mentioned. Other splits 6-7-10, 4-7-10, 2-4-8-10/2-4-5-8-10.
So I worked at a bowling alley for 16 years, Brunswick pinsetters have this thing called a curtain that helps deaden the pins from bouncing so much. If you look close enough at this video, the curtain is pushed back on the lanes he's throwing on making the pins bounce more than usual. We used to push the curtain back after we closed up the alley and see how many 7 10s we could make.
That's disconcerting information. Before receiving this intelligence I was considering asking this chappie to speak at our next Christian convention as his power appeared to be out of this world.
That was badass!....its hard not to get pumped watching the pins fly around like that....lol
That’s why you gotta just unleash the excitement!! You ever gotten excited about a split you’ve picked up?
@@TheHouseBowling Heck yeah everytime!
Cool! Mitch made 7 more 7-10s In one afternoon than I have in 46 years. It may be selective memory at work but I don’t think I’ve had to shoot at it more than 40 times.
In his 7 - 10 split challenge, he is averaging anywhere between 12% to 15% almost the whole time. That's pretty incredible odds.
Helped me to help my family, we are poor and I want to change our life, fund my transport project in my country please😢😥 or give me charity😞 don't take me for a scammer I just need to be helped
Incredible, as in not credible. WTF is with the curtains being right up behind the deck?
@@pullt to help the pin bounce back and hit the curtain to kick back the remaining pin.
I think Sean Rash will have the true million to one shot when he slid the ten pin over to take out the seven. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it possible. (It's here on YT)
Wow that was freaking amazing. Absolutely money on 10 pins. Thanks for the video guys!!
That should have been 8 7 10 conversions, not 7. Great video, guys. Always fun to see challenge videos.
I have seen so many of these and this is by far the best. have everyone in the house do this challenge and see who does it the best
That would be sick but there would definitely be a few of us who do it worst!!
Holy crap, that is simply AMAZING!!! . . I thought maybe you would get 1 .. but 7 .. are your freaking kidding me? .. WOW!!! .. just WOW!!! .. awesome man!
Mitch: PBA rate 0.7%, I'm hoping to make 4.
Me: Haha WRONG! (Sheepishly) you made 7.🎉
Almost doubled the target
OK that was just plain awesome. 7 on 48 lanes is bad ass. He hit the 10 pin every shot and almost in the same spot each time. Right on Mitch that was cool as fook.
Yea it was!!
Mitch is the King of the 7-10 now!!!
Is there any Guinness World Record for so many 7-10's ? If so, Mitch ask for your prize. OUTSTANDING!!!
Saludos y respetos desde México
That 18 lane prediction was legit insane
That was amazing! On top of that, 100% on 10 pins. So good!! 👏
Lol.
This is about as legit as the time I recorded a UFO in my back yard.
LUCKY 7! This will probably be the most satisfying video I ever watch for a very long time.
Mitch is just lucky I guess 😉
No no. Those shots were pure. B-E-A-UTIFUL
That was impressive to watch! PURPLE!
Purple!!!!
The pins do fly in that house. Bowled the southwest tourney there this year, and a guy on our pair covered the7 - 10. next frame left the 10 and threw it across the deck and would have covered it again.
Wow! That was super impressive! I feel like Mitch might be the next guy to make the 7-10 on tv👀. I’ve never made the 7-10 before but I’ve gotten close!
Ever seen someone make it in person?
@@TheHouseBowling I haven’t actually. One of my friends has made it twice and I’ve seen him shoot at them before and he gets very close. The coolest split I made was the 8-10 by bouncing the 10 into the 8.
@@Ewigi Thats still a crazy spare!!
@@TheHouseBowling thank you! I was so so sooo happy when I made it. It helped me shoot a 640 series to win a banner tournament with my teammates :)
@@Ewigi Thats awesome, nothing like winning a tournament with your team! I hope they went crazy when you made it!!
Of my 30 years in bowling (I'll be 40 in Aug.), dis was rather impressive... NGL!!!
If I had a brick wall in the back like this I bet I could make one, too 🤣
7:00 Called that one as soon as the ball was at the arrows. I bowl in a similar house with similar pins/decks/pit whatever and I've carried dead wood all the way to the arrows shooting them like that lol
This may be the greatest bowling video EVER!!!
Very impressive Mitch.
That’s amazing! And as a total hack who is lucky to make 50% of 10 pins I’m just as impressed he didn’t miss any. Great stuff!
Great stuff guys, this was awesome! :)
This is a cool video. Not only because it shows that picking up the 7-10 is very possible, but also because it shows you where to hit to convert it. Very cool video, nice job, great spare shooting
Impressive display of speed, rev, and accuracy! Well done!

Man, Mitch was humming those balls down the lane. Amazing work though.
All tour guys go to Northrock and try it. That would be cool. Osku , I think could get more than 7. Great stuff Mitch /Packy.
Would be something to see!!
@@TheHouseBowling that house definitely makes the pins bounce.. Mitch, every one knows that on A2 one goes away from ball tunnel (right lane 10 pin, left lane 7pin.. daaa 🤦♂️)
The big Fin is here, torilla tavataan.
@@OskuPalermaa300 "Everyone Knows" 😂😂 apparently neither Packy or Mitch knew!
Good watching you guys. Now I’m going to sleep 😴 hopefully 🙏
Making the 7-10 split is an incredible conversion but easily picking up 10 pins or 7 pins the way you do is just amazing. Corner pins are majority of peoples downfall but wow great job!
My boyfriend used to leave the 4 6 and 7 10. He would get 3 out of 4. Either missing the 4 or 6 pin. Crazy 😛 huh 🤔
This may be the greatest bowling video on UA-cam.
Notice how every 7-10 you made was when you were shooting the opposite side of the ball return, there's more wall to bounce off of. That's the key. Your real % was super high considering that 👌
I always play at northrock,bowling alley…. I never heard of it b4 but I play there on sundays
I also always use Rotogrip…. Everyday jk
😊
This video is SO good, but that edit on his 7 kill was flawless!
2:31 that was so lucky! that pin comes back up out of there like that 1 in 500 times i bet. he's acting like the most badass sports star on earth, lol
Awesome shooting Mitch incredable
Very impressive, kudos to Mitch!!
great shooting you actually picked that up 5 different ways unbelievable
Pretty crazy that it all wasn't the same type of make!
That was incredible I made the 710 once in my life but it was so cool the 10-pin cartwheel across the deck and just annihilated the seven
Mitch just sold me a t-zone with this video.
Could enter our giveaway on facebook by just sharing the video and tagging one of us in it!!
We are giving away 1 for every make so your chances are pretty high!!
I think this video is proof that the 7-10 split can and SHOULD be picked up by more pros on tour
but they obviously don't shoot at it very often enough to practice the shot. I bet now that this guy
has shot at 48 straight 7-10's he's already started to find the comfort zone on how to shoot it
each and every time from this point forward. Put it this way.. if he did this once a week for the
next year this guy would become the KING of the 7-10 split just because he's doing something
that nobody really practices that consistently. Example? I've been bowling for 30+ years and
have been in hundreds of leagues since I was a child and I've probably only shot at the 7-10 split
maybe 50 times in my entire life. This guy just shot that many BACK TO BACK. 😎
And of the 50 times (estimated) that I've left the 7-10 split I've only been able to pick it up twice.
And 50 is most likely the low end. I've probably left the 7-10 closer to 100 times in my life.
I think his confidence in making it during a tournament just went up!
Now Mitch we know when you get on tv pull out the sparkle Tzone if you get a 7-10 and knock them down!!
Amazing! I thought he'd maybe make 2 at best
On just a quick glance I saw the curtains being right up behind the deck.
Bro is no one going to talk about how the man called it on the 18th shot
My favorite bowling video ever. Bravo
That was some super impressive 10-pin shooting. I thought for sure he’d start missing both sides once he added the 7.
Did focusing on the split make the 10 easier? Next time put the speed up guys!
The last one I made was a couple of months ago. I left the greek church--4-6-7-9-10. Threw it trying to slide the 6 over slide to far right, hit the 10 bounced out of the back and hit the 7. Damnest think I've ever seen.
WIRED: the 7-10 split is ALMOST Impossible…
Mitch: HOLD MY SPARE!!!
All depends on the bowling center.
I bowled at two different alleys 7 nights a week back in the 90's - rotated from one to the other each night for leagues and practice.
One of them (Alley A) I was 3 for 10 (30%) on 7-10 splits in about 8 years. The other (Alley B) I was (iirc) 0 for 33 in about 8 years. My buddy and I (we bowled together all of those years in every league) started counting our 7-10's early on after I had three 7-10's and he had two in the same night during leagie at Alley B, and then I had another one the next night at Alley A (which was one that I converted).
Alley A had very active pits that gave great pin action, the other had dead pits. My buddy and I simply concluded that the dead pits left us more 7-10's (and other splits) and less chance to pick them up. We both also carried a 13-15 pin higher average at Alley A with the active pits.
It helps to have a back area where the first pin can bounce around off something solid … our lanes have a curtain that is not supported at the bottom, absorbs the energy.
I gave a like for each conversion.
I'm impressed.. I have been bowling for 40 years and have never picked that split up..
That's awesome. Every time I leave the 7-10 I say, you can't make it if you don't leave it. I've only made one but I like that challenge.
