    I've done this once and I just saw a girl do this last week. She was a 2 hander and her ball went long and then broke hard and had so much angle that it went right through.

    Back in the good old 80's, I used to bowl on wooden lanes that were stripped once a week on Monday afternoon. I was bowling a league on Monday night. I put balls between the three and the ten twice in one night... with urethane!

    Well a ball is about 8.6" wide, so how far apart are the 3 & 10 pin? I should know this but I think maybe 12"? Very tight squeeze to miss them like that but very small margin

    Pins are 12 inches apart, So center to center the 3-10 is 24 inches. So there is about 20 inches in between them, Just like the say the 4-6 split. So theres way plenty of room to go through there.

    I feel stupid regarding the pin distance, you'd think that's something I SHOULD know by now. I've replaced spotting cells and adjusted the tension on them but haven't yet worked on making sure they are "On Spot" that's a different procedure I haven't done yet but that too is up and coming for me.

    Done that at least a half dozen times in my life. It's really a head-scratcher to watch, though!
