DUMB ???
« on: October 11, 2006, 11:16:10 AM »
Ok, my son has purchased a new ball and was getting rid of his EBONITE GAMETIME. We found someone to give it to, so that was not the problem. When I took it in to plug the holes, I realized that the PIN was raised about 1/8" above the surface of the ball. Now, is this going to be a problem?

The person we are giving it to does not throw a hook, we are trying to teach him and figured a free ball and some lessons would help him. But I want to know if the raised pin is going to hurt anything and what would cause it to raise?

Not sure What Causes A Pin to raise But It was cause any problem.If your giving it to someone when they have it plugged have the ProShop operator file it down.But Its not a problem at all and will cause no problems to you or the new bowler.

Can't they just grind it down?

Is this a common thing with EBONITE balls? I have owned STORM, TRACK, BRUNSWICK, COLUMBIA & MORICH and I have never had one do this nor have I seen this on another ball until this one.

Ok, I just wanted to make sure that I could FILE it down and the ball would be alright. Was really hoping that there was nothing really wrong with it. I can file it and the ball should be good...
