Splendorlex...

Your Uncle Curt picked up the 7-10 last night.

10 pin bounced off the sweeper and took out the 7 pin.

Did he just gun it down the lane at the left side of the 10, or did you even see it?

I don't think he saw it.
It was the first time I saw one picked up and I was quite a few lanes down feom him.
I just happeend to be watching him toss the ball, when he did it.

He saw it.

He was describing it to me yesterday.  He said he was not especially pleased with the result of his first shot, so he winged his spare ball pretty good at the ten pin.  He said the ball knocked the pin into the corner, and he said to himself, "This has a chance."  The pin did, in fact, come out of the pit and onto the deck, but to his dismay, he saw that it was coming straight toward the front of the deck, instead of to the left side.  However, just then, the sweep came down and the pin deflected off the sweep into the seven pin.

Shake it off!

I asked Mark London about it yesterday when I picked up my Wrath, crazy way to pick it up, with the sweep helping out!

Does that count when the sweep gets hit?

I believe the sweep is just like the side wall...a playable surface, as long as the rack has not come down.
