# What is a Pin-In and Pin-Out in a bowling ball?

The Pin in a ball is a stem like structure, inside a ball, made of plastic or urethane. It is
the top part of the weight block in a two-piece ball or the puck of the three-piece ball.
When the weight block is in the perfect center of the ball, it is called a Pin-In ball. This
kind of ball has less flare because of the centered weight.
When the weight block of the ball is about two or more inches away from the center of
gravity of the ball, it is called a Pin-Out ball. Because of the displacement of the weight,
this ball has the tendency for more track flare.

# What is the meaning of angle of entry?

In a pin deck, all 10 pins are so placed that they form the figure of an equilateral triangle.
The distance between a pin and its nearest neighbor (Pins 1 and 2), (Pins 2 and 3), (Pins 5
and 9) etc, is 12 inches. The distance between a sleeper (Pins 1 and 5), (Pins 3 and 9) etc,
is 20.75 inches. The distance between Pin 1 and Pin 10 is 36 inches. The distance
between Pin 1 and the back of the pin deck is 34.1875 inches.
If you are a right-handed bowler, and assuming you make a perfect shot, the ball enters
the pocket from the 1-3 side. For a perfect shot, the ball will touch only Pins 1, 3, 5 and
9. This is called the angle of entry. This hit is a movement traced in a zigzag shape.
All the pins are hit with this perfect strike. If you are left handed than the angle of entry
will be described in such a way that only Pins 1, 2, 5 and 8 come into contact with the
ball, for an ensuing perfect strike.
