The Disappearing Pins (7.18.23) Low Avg. (Riverside Lanes)

[@fazbearentertainmentinc6514]

I work at a bowling center that have these, we have the same issue because we live in humid climate and the moisture gets loose in the building causing certain machines to drop pins

[@Greggys10Pins]

This is Nevada so not humid, just 115 in the summer. But yeah, I worked on A2s and the summer heat just swells the pins just enough to cause the 5-pin to not drop can jam the deck.

[@Bozoized]

the machine looks alright, just that the spotting tongs are probably broken, it happens a lot to GS pinsetters.

[@Greggys10Pins]

I think the heat had something to do with it.

[@MrCaptainshorty]

if the spotting tong is broken why does it pick up the 4 pin when its alone but drops it when there is a 7 pin. there is a bind in the track for the spotting tongs

Despite the GS NXT being so new, it's already so poorly maintained!!
Is that an eternity pi you're throwing?

[@Greggys10Pins]

That is not the ball I'm throwing. Also, I did mention it was really hot that day and the AC wasn't keeping up very well. Wondering if the heat played an effect.

[@ZlueTheDragon]

@@Greggys10Pins Ahhhh, when I looked at your other videos I realised it wasn't.
Still, though, the fact it's consistently dropping 4 pins is concerning for this centre.

@@Greggys10Pins so what ball are you throwing with?? I’m sure that’s what ZlueTheDragon meant

[@Greggys10Pins]

@@travy268 Pretty sure I'm throwing the Honey Badger Extreme Pearl. It's pretty much my go-to strike ball for most centers.
