Hey, can someone out there who has a second do me a favor, can you try and calculate the rpm's of my shot? I know it will probably be hard to tell just from this video so if you do have a few and can help me I can send you the original video (probably would be easiest to just throw that into some video editing program and slow it all down... sadly I dont have one), just send me a pm with your email and I will send it to you... otherwise here is the youtube vid. Oh and sorry about the pink ball, its the only plastic I have, lol.

Here is what I got:

Put video in Movie maker, slowed down x4, and then made the video black and white, so I could make out the tape better. Then the math -
Ball rotates 19.5 times from point of release to point of impact with pins.
Ball hits pins after 2.35 seconds
So if it revolves 19.5 times in 2.35 seconds then - 60 seconds / 2.35 seconds = 25.53 then multiply that by the number of revolutions in the original 2.35 seconds, 25.53 x 19.5 = 497.8 Revolutions per Minute.

I slowed it down so you can see it better, i know my math is correct

I really dont care the exact number, and I dont think its all that important, but I know my math is right, lol
