I Can't Think Of The Word- Please Help!
Hi. I am writing a story and need to find a word to describe the sound that bowling pins make when they are hit by the ball. The only word I got so far is “Crash”. I need a better word. Any ideas? I have tried a thesaurus, but it has not been helpful. Please, I need to find a word ASAP! Thanks so much in advance.

well, it starts out like this: "Crash! The pins scatter- all ten of ...." i need a word to replace"crash".
How about Bang
The way you want to use the word makes it a little difficult. There's crunch, bang, or crack. I hope this helps.

thanks for your input
Yeah, I could used that too. I went with "crash", though, and I just handed it in about 15 minutes ago, so there's no going back. Thanks though.
Sorry I wasn't much of a help then.
smash, maybe. thank you
I say that crack is a good way to start the story. Maybe " crack " and then the roar of the crowd as all ten pins scatter... Something like that what do you think?

You could make up something onomatopoeiac like "splack". "Thunk" and "thwack" have probably been done too often.

Blash.blash is a cross between blast and crash. I use it a lot describing car crashes. It took me 2 days 2 come up with it.
