Maybe the greatest bowling shot ever was achieved in Rhode Island at Lang's Bowlarama in Cranston on Monday.

To achieve the shot, Warwick resident Zach Bacon rolls the first ball very slowly, and with lots of spin, down the lane.
Once that ball gets going, Alex Lefebvre, also of Warwick, throws the second ball down the side of the lane and it hits all but two corner pins.

“That first ball has to be at the perfect speed, sometimes, he will do it and it won’t make it down the lane, other times it hits the gate and bounces back to you or goes in the gutter. It is just about the speed and hopefully, that second ball knocks down the right pins,” said Lefebvre said in an interview with GoLocalProv.
Lefebvre adds that it did not take them very long to achieve the shot.
“That was only the third time we tried that shot that night, we have done it before in years past, and the funny thing is that Zach had done earlier in the night,” Lefebvre said.
He added, “We goof off like that, its something that we have done before and try different stuff just to see different reactions and different ways we can try stuff."
As of Wednesday, the video has more than one million views on Instagram and six million views on Tik Tok.
Lefebvre is a 2018 graduate of the University of Rhode Island and currently works at Liberty Mobility.
Bacon studied at the Community College of Rhode Island, and used to work at Lang’s.
