This could be bowling’s most impressive strike

It’s is either the most epic strike we’ve seen in a while or an awfully convincing hoax. We’ll let you decide.

Getting a strike is one of life’s simple pleasures for the casual bowler. A rare opportunity to try and act cool, looking around like you’ve been there before while secretly feeling gleeful that you managed to knock all 10 pins down at once. It’s not that easy unless you bowl semi-regularly and the payoff of a five second cartoon on the monitor is never a good enough payoff.

That’s why we can appreciate this potentially amazing strike. The premise is simple: Bowl from the front door of a bowling alley, all the way across the carpet, onto the lane and get a strike. We really hope it’s real, because that would be amazing -- but losing track of the ball seems very convenient.
