Title: Sinking pin
Post by: xrayjay on April 03, 2014, 04:03:41 PM

Took out 2 Storm naturals out of the storage last night and noticed both balls have their pin sinking about 1/32 to 1/16" not sure exactly the depth. Are these balls still usable?

This happened to my V2 particle years back and later cracked across the bridge. The pin was above the fingers. The pins on the naturals are located, one below the ringer finger and the other above the mf.

I just asked this same question today! What are the odds??? On the post I had posted a few users said it was ok. I just bought an Ebonite Primal Instinct and the same thing happened.

I didn't think about posting it in this forum either. I posted mine in the misc. section.

Are you sure they've sunk and the cover hasn't expanded? Balls continue to cure as they age...

ALL bowling balls continue to cure for basically the life of the ball
