From the video it seems like B/S.  The 7-pin flicked straight across the deck and took out the 10.

And all someone says in the video is "Yes?"

I witnessed a bowler picking up the 7-10 and everyone around him was clapping, hooting and hollering.  

That supposed 7-pin was probably an off spot 4-pin.  

This is much more believable.

The guy didn't even flinch or react one bit when he picked it up.  Doesn't seem legit.

yeah you cant shoot a pin over that hard or quickly without it being ahead of the other pin.

it could just be an off spot 7 pin, so it might not quite be a 7 or 4. either way its impossible to take out the 7 -10 split from the side unless it bounces out of the back. Seen it done that way but it can not shoot straight over like that, theres just not enough room for the ball to tap the pin at that angle.

Does not look kosher to me, too. The angle does IMHO not match - the ball goes much too direct onto the 7, it would IMO never "jump" to the right the way the video shows, and even if so, it would end up behind the pin deck and not on the 10. It even does not look as if it was bouncing forward from the back plate? I am not convinced.

Did anyone watch PBA Xtra Frame last night where Brian Voss picked up the 7-10 during the position round of the Bayer Don & Paula Carter Mixed-Doubles?

He needed it for the 5 spot for the show.    It was awesome to watch.

Yeah Voss is a pro and everyone went nuts when he picked it up!

This video is just some one picking up the 4-10 split
