Strike! eSports CandlePin 17+

I grew up around CandlePin bowling. Our family owned a CandlePin bowling alley until my Dad passed away. Machine shops in the area closed their doors and that put a cramp in our business. I can tell by the names of the subscribers (user names) these people are mostly from New England and there could be some that bowled at our lanes. Name of our place was Dicks Lanes in Windsor Vermont! I have only one complaint and someone else already mentioned it. Sometimes the ball seemingly goes right through the pin without knocking it down! Can be frustrating if you’re at a critical point in the game! Please look into it! Thanks and good luck fellow CandlePin bowlers!

You can’t win this game by slamming fastballs down the middle. The “glitch” only happens if you throw faster than a human could throw a candlepin ball. The pins are a little harder to hit and knock down than real candlepins, but it is a lot easier to throw the ball straight. The two opposite effects result in the game being realistic as far as scores. My high is 157, but I can still toss a 90. Just like real candlepin.

This is a great game and pretty realistic …. except for three aggravating issues that has always plagued this game and gone unfixed for the three years or so I’ve played it. (1) There is absolutely no way a candlepin-sized bowling ball can fit between the spacing of the pins. No way. Yet, it does so in this game. (2) Even crazier are what I call “ghost balls” that somehow pass right through standing pins. By that I mean the ball clearly goes through pins without knocking any over, even though the ball otherwise hit the pins head-on. And (3), seeing balls hit deadwood but skips over the wood without the deadwood moving. Please, please, please fix these issues.
