This week, I started keeping track of frames per stop after reading about it here. It just figures that we would have the worst week ever.
But, it did point out where our problem areas are. We ran at about 200 fps during leagues. Open play I didn't track, but I know it runs at a better rate. If we could cut down the massive amounts of dead wood, we could get that to 600-800 in a hurry. I had 10 of them in one league (12 5-man teams) last night.
One issue seems to be the gate rolling over 3-4 pins in one gutter instead of pushing it back causing 1-2 of them to pop out. I've been told the gates are at minimum height. Just so I know, what is the recommended min height?
The other is a hard pit. Pins get kicked out many times when a hard thrower goes after a 7 or 10. One guy has 4 7-10's made this season in one league. Is there anything that can be done to soften things up a bit?
Another alley with the exact same equipment as ours and has maybe 15% of the dead wood calls we have.
