Sadly, yes I have done that once, about 6-7 years ago. Still have nightmares about it, thanks for reminding me!

That was pretty interesting - but wow, you should have warned me that I needed to listen to a minute of Phil Collins to get there

I've never done that on a strike ball. i don't think ill ever complain about a solid 7 pin..EVER! and for those who do complain, lesson learned: it can be worse lol..
closest i came was practicing one time left a wash out.. in my attempt to pick it up i hit the head pin just right of center, so the ball hit the 3 pin and the 3 pin slid to the 10 pin spot.  made one of the counter guys watch the replay on the scoring monitor as a witness lol

One day when the backends at my house were flying and I was playing an extremely deep angle to the pocket, I left a solid 6...(I'm right handed)

Not exactly a "solid" 3 pin, but pretty damned annoying, if done in a league or a tournament in any case. Was it caused by a flat bottom new pin or did oil get on the pin deck?

I haven't watched the video yet, but I would have to say no.  Now the worst break I've ever encountered was a very long time ago when I first started bowling.  I had a solid pocket shot, yet somehow the 9 pin slid left, and stood standing in between where the 7 and 8 pins should be.

I really wish I was making that up...

Yeah, it does look like the 3 slid over to the 6 spot. I threw a pocket shot once and made the 5 pin slide over to the 9 pin spot.

Yep, did it in the Big Daddy tourney in Philly. 3 pin ended up in the 9 pin spot. It was a definite first, in roughly 30+ years of bowling.

First shot of practice a few months back threw a shot high and slid the 8 over to where the 10 should of been.

no solid 3, but i managed what Mike Wolfe did on the final of japan cup

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.
