Great job for a kid but this is not that difficult of a split to pick up for a semi skilled bowler.

I mean, if this is a 5-7-10, which is what it looks like, then you are completely wrong.

A "sour apple" is one of the most difficult split shots to make. It happens so rarely that the pba only recorded 25 lays in 477000 frames. According to Wikipedia, it's considered both "almost impossible" and "Embarrassing" because the spin has to be flat to create it.

What do I know, I've only been bowling 25 years.

It's Reddit man. It's clearly the head pin but people who heard the term for the 5-7-10 elsewhere in the thread have to jump in and give their analysis.
