at a jbt tournament last year at parkway lanes in new jersey, a friend of mine missed right, the ball went into the ditch, and near the backend hit a dead wood in the gutter(with the top of the pin facing us). the ball slammed into the pin, went straight up towards the head pin, and slammed into the machine. there was a loud crash, and tons of glass came flying down onto the lane. somehow, he managed to crack the light and also know a few screws out of the pinsetter. craziest thing i have ever seen.
my cousin threw a house ball, much lighter than he should have been throwing, that flew out of his hand, hit the barrier inbetween the lanes, and got a strike on the lane next to us. i have a habit of having crazy stuff happen to me.
i went front 5, pocket 7-10, back 5, twice in a tournament. not fun.
i left the 7-10 4 straight frames, throwing 2 different balls, playing 2 different lines.
