Bowling Lane Topography

Most lanes are not equal. This video explains why.

Dead wood rule!

I see this happen on many occasions, luckily in most of these situations the dead wood does NOT come into play. BUT trust me if you have luck like I do it is better to be safe than sorry and ALWAYS have dead wood removed, no matter how much others get upset because of the hold up in play it takes to get it removed because trust me THEY will be the FIRST ones to protest if anything comes in contact with the dead wood.

Re-Racking Pins in bowling.

In the PBA you are allowed 2 per game, after that you need approval from the tournament director. The way I look at it is that if the lane is setting the pins bad every time and you have already asked the bowling center to have the mechanic adjust the rack and the problem can't be remedied during league. Well? it is reasonably fair for everybody as the rack will be bad for all on your pair. Most times you can adjust to a bad rack in order to make the pins carry better.
