New Bowling Pin Test - Please visit the Bowling Test room and give us your feedback!

Hi everyone,

We are testing a new variation of the bowling pins.   We are still getting feedback on the changes from last month and are continuing to try to get the right balance.    It is very important to us that we hear from as many of you as possible, so please visit the Bowling Test room and give us your thoughts.

Please post your feedback here.   We will not roll out changes to the main rooms until we have collected enough responses and really weighed the impact on the game.

Thanks,
Case

I bowled 3 games in the test room today & I don't like. It seems the pins are heavy & don't slide like they should. I will go back & bowl a few more games later but as of right now I'm not liking this rooms pins

I bowled a number of games and saw no appreciable difference between the pins we currently use and those being tested in the test room.  My scores were largely the same as those I'm currently getting in our league room.  So if the new pin mods were implemented site-wide overnight without notice....I feel nobody would really know or be able to tell.

Oops!  I'm embarrassed to report that I discovered a bug that was loading the old pins for many of you!   I have fixed that now, so for those of you who tried it out please give it another go.

Thanks,
Case

Hi Case:

To me, the new pins seem to be too heavy and don't slide like they should. Today I knocked down 8 pins for a baby split, and it put up the 7/10 as my second ball, lol, when Ionly left a small split

I feel the pins were better today in the test room than they were yesterday. They slide easier.

Played 2 games and found the pins seem to be more realistic in the way they fall and slide. If people give a good feed back on this adjustment, then do feel that this should be the last time changes are made to bowling. At the end of the day you will never please everyone.

Thanks everyone for the continued feedback!   I agree that we cannot please everyone but also I know people were having some issues with spares and the 7/10 pins being hard to go at some points.   This feels like the "right" direction!

This is much better Case. On the path to the right direction for sure.

The pins feel the same to me as they were before the update.  The 7 and 10 pins still don't want to fall.  I find it very frustrating to bowl here now.
