Technical difficulties?

Today’s practice might be one I’d like to forget. I was on a lane that was supposed to have the house shot on it, but there was no “wall” at all, with very little back-end reaction. I moved as far outside as I thought I could comfortably play, and worked on slowing down, but even then, my shots were either missing outside or just barely hitting the pocket light. I mentioned this to Junior, and he thought it strange, as there were some good scores Saturday morning for the junior leagues, which also use the house shot. He surmised that there might have been something wrong with the lane machine, and, with my suggestion, he said he would ask Rob to check the machine out.
