one way to fix it is to drill the pin out and fill it with ball plug...  ask ur pro shop and he'll probably say the same thing...

So it doesn't affect the way the ball reacts?  I dont think it affects it since it still rolls fine...what do u all think?

If it's not in the ball track, it won't affect the roll of the ball or the lane.
If the ball still works well for you, I'd get the pin drilled and filled with plug.  Then you could get your "new pin" any color you want.
