Love 'em or hate the ten pin is every rt-handed bowlers worst nightmare

anyway, could someone be kind enough to define these for me, thanks!!

1) ringing ten pin

2) weak ten pin

3) flat ten pin

4) insert another one if there are any

while I'm at it, also where did the term "Stone" come from?? like 'he left a stone-8'
I know how to use that particular cool bowling term but I thought that it would be nice to understand it

Basically what he said.
Stone - when the pin goes untouched

The weak and flat 10s are basically the same, I think.  In both cases, the 6-pin just falls into the gutter instead of taking out the 10.  The ringing 10 is when the 6 goes around and behind the 10 pin.

The term "stone" as in "stone 8" or "stone 9" bring to mind hitting a boulder with my fist.  Hitting the boulder, it doesn't move or fall over or anything like that.  With a stone 8 or 9, it seems like there are a lot of pins flying all over the place, the ball itself has to exit the pin deck somewhere around the 8 or 9, and still it stands.  How, among all those pins flying around, is that little 8-pin or 9-pin statue still standing?

Ok, another question. So can a rt-hander say the same term for the 7 pin when he or she blows the rack apart and the 7 just stands there totally untouched?? tia

A solid seven for a righty would for me is either a "stuffed" or "jammed" seven pin.

Lite mixers its just a seven.

Stone probably comes from the idea the pin stands there like it was made of stone and impoosible to nok down.
