    Default A little thought I had..

    I was daydreaming and started to wonder, if you were to loft the ball far enough so that the ball would land on top of the 1st pin, would it destroy the pins?

    Destroy the pins as in, create a devastating strike? I think the laws of physics would dictate the answer to be no...

    Years ago I heard that some one put their ball through the pinsetter cover on the fly. 30+ years ago so I don't remember the details. I think it was accidental, and 90% sure it was a 16# ball.
