moving pins
« on: February 06, 2010, 07:50:08 AM »
can someone explain why when hitting the pocket, pins seem to move from the 10 pin to the 8. i've seen this numerous times and was wondering if it had to do with the pin deck being dirty?

I would love it if my ten pin moved to the eight pin spot

I don't see this too often at where I bowl at but I do know of a few place's that do this on a regular basis. This usually end's up with a out of range call to the desk so they can clear the dead wood by hand and reset the pin setter so we can finish our frame. This also can cause some really strange spare's.
