How much does a modern pin weigh? Has that changed from 30 years ago?

Wow...I figured they were quite a bit heavier.

Inertia, friction, etc do give that impression, especially when you see a 15lb ball deflect off of one.

We're supposed to be having a no tap tournament with heavy pins Friday it will be interesting to see the difference

I'm pretty sure the weights have always been about the same from the good ol days to today. Before the 80's may have been different but I've always heard the 3.6 - 3.10 lbs as long as I can remember.
