Pin Placement
« on: August 27, 2008, 12:36:54 PM »
Hi, would you buy a ball with a 1-2 inch pin? Would this be considered a second?
Thanks

Just bought and drilled up Storm Mighty Shift (overseas) with 1.5-2 inch pin...and it wasn't a second. Rolls just fine...

Yes.
No. Why would you say that?
1" and 5" pins are not considered blems. They are less desireable to many people. They often serve special purposes.
Sometimes pins over 6" are considered blems.

Por Pin is just a marketing term used to help get more dollor for the blem. This idea comes from the fact that it is equipment like this that is sent to alot of PBA players who have no limits on equipment. The fact is also that these are also the type of balls that get sent to college players when they buy from there college price lists.

My Swarm has a one inch pin. I am having so much fun with that ball that I'm tempted to use it every time out, which I don't... but it's tempting.

My radical has a 0" pin and I love it! Shot 215 on the 50' TOC pattern with it!
