Decided that I didn’t like the blue gutters with the (mostly) black sides. So… changed the color of the gutters to red. Much better. Bought some candlepin bowling balls on eBay and received them today, I think they are going to work great. An exact half-scale ball is 4.3 inches and these are 4.5 inches. The candlepin balls are a little heavier (2 lbs. 4 oz) than the Linds half-scale ball (1 lb 8 oz). I think they are going to drive through the pins better and deflect less. Made a quick little video of the ball return. I can put it up on here if anyone is interested.
