9-pin/8-pin leave slo-mo video???
« on: September 27, 2007, 06:01:49 PM »
Anybody know where the video is located? I thought it was in the Northern Ireland Ten-Pin website, but I haven't been able to find it. Great video of the ball going through the pins in super slo-mo so you can see exactly what happens when you leave a stone-8 or a stone-9.... thanks for any help in locating this...

No idea what happened to the vid...but, if you needed a quick replacement (for whatever reason), check out my video for the AMF Hei$t (link below). I leave two nine pins, and both are in slow motion. The last shot is as slow as you would need to see "how" you leave a nine...

Stone 8  or 9 pins are normally just bad luck, and the result of just a wrong entry angle - normally too steep. The ball drives through the pins well, after a solid (perfect!) pocket hit, but it just misses the 5 that would unleash the chain reaction that takes out the back row pins.

If you want to battle this, my best advice is to try to reduce overall hook and go for a straighter path to the pocket.

tst4eko.... thanks much! I thought it was lost forever, and I have a friend I wanted to send it to as a good-natured "nudge", because he gets SO upset anytime it happens to him. This would be like a waking nightmare to him.....
