Dead flat pins.
Do dead pins make for easier strikes. I am starting to think the pins at my local house have no pop to them!
Dead flat bottom pins.......example new pins with flat bottoms will make it
a lot more difficult to get a strike. Now as for older pins some may have a
rounded off bottom to them making it easier to get a strike.
If they have just replaced the pins then it will seem like they have no pop
to them until they are broken in which takes a little while.

A truly "dead" pin will usually have cracks and no real pop to them. New pins sound different but it's the true flat bottoms that inhibit unearned carry.
