Title: Pin In
Post by: Dannymo23 on March 14, 2006, 02:00:05 AM

My pro shop operater is about to order me an Enriched Uranium but says he order
a pin in.  What does this mean?  I normally get a ball with a 2"-3" pin.  He says he can still get my desired reaction.  If anyone can help me with this terminology it would be much appreciated.

It can limit some possiblities, but it's not a showstopper. It depends on the drilling.

Pin-in means a pin length less than 1".  If you're looking for a pretty "normal" drill, it's probably not going to be an issue.  You may not be able to put the pin too far above the finger line unless top weight is real low or you drill the fingers deep.

But for an EU, you're probably looking for a smoother, earlier ball anyway.

Pin In means your pro shop operator got a deal on it from Lane #1, and takes the price difference and puts it in his pocket, and charges you full price.
