I read the Bowling Digest this morning. Someone wrote in that they left or they saw someone leave a 7-8-9-10 leave on a pocket hit. He asked where did the ball go? I have to ask the same thing. This defeats the laws of physics. Has anyone ever heard of such a crazy thing or is this another case of someone writing fiction?

I've never seen it on a pocket hit by a legitimate bowler, but I've seen it LOTS of times by kids using light weight balls.
I worked part time in out center awhile back, and the kids came in for B'days and such. They would bowl some and usually at least once a week, someone would leave it.

The article claimed a pocket hit. Where the hell would the ball go on a pocket hit to leave 7-8-9-10? I understand the kids. Light balls, pin deflection, and poor aim.

I don't really know because, unless a pin is offspot, the ball won't fit between the pins on the back row. If a pin was off spot, and the ball had just the right deflection, I guess it could happen, but what a freak of nature it would be to have evrything happen just perfectly to make this happen!

I have seen many little kids to this, ball deflected, I have seen an old lady throwing the ball super slow, leave the 4 6 7 8 9 10, the ball went right between the 8 9, moved them over a little enough for the ball to get through, didn't knock them over, and then this guy I know who throws it really hard and straight, barely any turn left it, 16 pound ball full speed, I didn't see it, but over 30 people backed it up that didn't even know him and said it happened and I guess the ball just deflected some how and was a horrible rack, ball went in the left gutter

I have seen the 7-8-9-10 left on a pocket hit, only it wasn't really the 7-8-9-10. It was the 4-7-9-10. It was a slightly high pocket hit (the one that sometimes leaves a 4-9), and a pin came out and hit the 4, which then proceeded to slide into the 8 spot. Thus it became the 7-8-9-10. One of the strangest things I ever saw with a real ball...
