Does anyone have stats on how many times pros are left with 7-10? I imagine there aren't many opportunities for them to pick it up in the first place.
I've picked it up twice in my lifetime, once by sheer luck (was only going after 10, turned after I was on target and my group went nuts and told me 10 bounced over and hit 7) and a second time intentionally (basically the right handed version of the video above). I picked my spot and hit it exactly how I intended. 7 bounced over and got 10 down. Was that luck? Probably, but hitting your target isn't.
You are right. It doesn't happen very often. The target for right and left handed bowlers is to hit the gap between the 1-2 pin and the 1-3 pin which usually results in a strike. Hitting the #1 pin head on with a hooking ball is usually what results in the 7-10 split
