Once Had Pin "Do a 360" and Stand Back- Up!
« on: May 19, 2010, 07:54:20 AM »
I started bowling in Leagues in 1973, and this was the single-most-frustrating leave I've had or seen:

I bowled my first ball, and one pin "completely did a 360-degree-rotation end-for-end", and then remained standing, so I had to shoot it again! Talk about
FRUSTRATING! (It's never happened again since, to myself or anyone else I've ever seen bowl!)

I have actually had pin fall down on the pin deck, and then some other pin hit and it stood back up.

Talk about pissed.

I had one where I had a strike, and one of pins bounced and hit another pin and stood it back up.  I had to put my eyes back in my socket, and my son actually saw it too so I know I wasn't hallucinating.

A guy I know once hit the pocket almost flush and left the head pin.

I guess it wasn't a strike then. LOL.

I threw a shot and the 4 pin laid dead in the flat gutter and when the 7 scooted in, it bounced off the 4 and stood back up in its normal position (machine picked it up and all), I did this during a HighSchool state tournament and 4 pairs on each said they seen it.
