AM not A CHICK OF BOWLING but I wanted to be in Manda's clique And why would I "saw" pins in half, THATS A WASTE OF PINS! I'd rather blow it over with my storm, and 21mph ball speed on dry shots.

I know someone that put one in his wood stove in his garage that sucker burnt forever.

Go to a couple of estate sales, there always seems to be a couple of ancient balls for sale there.
