Is it true that heavier bowling balls are less likely to be stuck in the back area?

@JKnight51480..... If you heard pins falling out of the machine, the most likely thing that was wrong was what it called a " Turnaround Pan Jam" . On Brunswick model "A" , "A2" , and "Jet Back" machines, there is a "Pan" that turns all the pins going up the conveyor belts in the same direction. (Bottom First). Sometimes the pins jam and if the pin wheel keeps turning, the pins will fall out of the machine onto the floor.

@drfirebird64 The last time I went bowling, I heard pins being thrown out the back of the machine. What usually causes that ? It is just something that happens from time to time when pins get jammed or is a part in the back of the lane faulty ?
As a 20 year Brunswick pinsetter head mechanic, I will correct one thing said in this video. An out of range pin will NOT cause the machine to black out. It will disengage the clutch at 90 degrees and the out of range lever at the back of the machine must be pulled for the clutch to re engage and lift the deck off the out of range pin. Any dead wood on the lane must be manually removed as the rake will not sweep during an out of range cycle. Blackouts are caused by deck jams.
