High Track

[canesrock82]

I've read on here and some other boards where it's best to have the pin above the fingers if you are a high track bowler. Can some one tell me why it's important?

Thanks

If you have the pin under the fingers the ball can/will track over the finger holes.

Azus is correct, what happens is the bowtie is lowered on a lower pin layout and it greatly increases the chance of a higher track player to clip the fingers and/or thumb.

You can still use the layout though, as a weight hole can be used to raise the bowtie as needed. I would suggest if you experiment use the ball first and to see where your track is and then add a weight if needed to make legal or move your bowtie.

Everything correct. I'd just add that the danger of hitting the holes is only given on balls with much flare (high differential, drilled strong) and with good revs of the player.
