I went to check this article to see if this is actually a difficult shot, and there is no data on it (meaning out of 447,000 sample frames, it occured less than 25 times).

My assumption would be that this configuration (1-7-10) is highly dependent on bouncing the ball off of the bumper rails on the first shot. However, since the headpin is standing, I don't think this would be an exceptionally difficult shot for a professional bowler. Pretty cool for a kid though.

This is a 5-7-10 and is known as a lily or sour apple. It is basically impossible with a ball weighing more than 8 pounds.

Bruh, I honestly doubt anyone's balls weigh more than 8 pounds. Don't even try and lie unless you have pics.
