When I was a little kid back in the 60’s between Lowell, Tewksbury and Billerica, Ma. there were quite a few duckpin lanes. They have all seemed to disappear around here now. Just Candlepin (my favorite) and 10 pin lanes now. Too bad, my Dad and I used enjoy both duckpin and Candlepins. 😊
I have only been duckpin bowling twice but loved it both times I have tried candlepin bowling as well as 9pin bowling or kegal bowling I believe it's German type of bowling and it was fun balls are between a tenpin and a 5 pin bowling ball size.

I don't know why everyone is throwing under and tries to go crazy fast instead of throwing over and at around 20-22 km/h, they would get a better score and better average.
Bruh... I was just skipping through the video and assumed both of these girls were mid 30s. Then I saw your comment and was shook 😂😂😂 I went back to confirm -17 and 20!!!
I have really never seen this either, but have noticed one thing totally different to regualr bowling, if you dont throw a strike on the 1st ball, and if you dont pick up the rest of the pins with the 2nd one, you actually get a 3rd chance to pick up what's left....now thats different.
That’s because duck pin is harder. You can’t really hook the ball to get strikes the same way you can in tenpin. Your window is tiny, and the pins themselves are also very small and don’t collapse as easily as regular tenpin bowling pins.
That's awesome! Many years ago, I bowled in a tournament, at a bowling center that had both tenpin and duckpin lanes. The tournament was tenpin. I had a miserable day, shooting 438 for a 3 game set (at the time, I was about a 160 bowler). While waiting for friends to get done, who started later than I did, I bowled 3 games of duckpin. I actually shot 4 FIFTY seven, about 20 pins better with a last game of 190, my highest game ever.
Never tried Candlepin. I can't figure out which is harder. Strikes are far easier in ducks but spares that are virtually impossible in ducks can be made in candles with some help from the deadwood...
@@ohger1 I believe the only place that you can bowl candlepin is New England. There's another reason that people don't like candlepin. You have to know how to COUNT. LOL
@@gerrypellissier9551 I'm in CT, and there are a few duckpins, but no candles as far as I know. At Highland Bowl in Cheshire CT, the duckpin machines are vintage but the scoring is all automatic and computerized like ten pin.
Amy Bisson might have lost here but she went on to do great things in this sport. Multiple womens bowler of the year awards from 2001-2017. Numerous records.
If you are a ten pin bowler, I doubt it highly. You have a much greater chance of chopping through the head pin and leaving spare "opportunities" you dont see in conventional ten pin. I bowled both; I carried about a 120 average in duckpins; high 180s to low 190s in ten pin, and when I bowl candlepin, I generally bowl around 100 to 110.
@@ohger1 Yeah, I'm in CT and like both duck and 10. Duckpin is much harder and unpredictable. That's why even the best players have a 130-150 average. And still no 300 ever.
I didn't even know there was a variation of bowling. I wonder why RUclips recommended this to me. Is there a Duckpin tournament starting on ESPN or something (The Ocho?)
The only thing they asked her is how is she going to go home with her sister. I know she beat her, but they couldn't ask her anything else about either game. I think I'll audition for duckpin color commentary.
Although the other person alluded to it, I would add that the odds of chopping through center, you often only get 2 or 3 rather than at worst a 6 as in tenpin (leaving the "big 4.")
Let's put it this way - there's nothing like throwing a ball just a teeny bit off the pocket in duckpins and getting a two pin 3-9 chop, then throwing the next two balls through the hole the first ball created. Three balls near the pocket and scoring two... Or how about filling a spare with that same 3-9 push for two count? The lanes and spacing are identical, but only a 5" ball.
Yes. In duckpins, they clear out the dead wood. In candlepin, another variation, the dead wood does NOT get moved. This can make spares either absurdly easy or very difficult depending on the placement.
@@contrabandjoe7974 LMAO! LMAO! I admit, that's funny. I was also pretty sure that was what you were referring to, however, I was curious was your response would be. But I also do have to ask, how come you're watching it? Lol! On a side note, I used to bowl duckpins with my family years back from when I was 3 years old until about 16. My grandmother owned a duckpin bowling alley here in Norfolk, Va, and something reminded me of it. So, I did a search to see if perhaps there were any old videos from our tournaments and stuff from back in the day.
This is very accurate. I graduated in 94" Every chick walked around with that passed off look all the time! Now you know where all the 20something demascilated soyboys came from!
I haven't bowled Duckpins since 2019, I was a junior highschool student since 2016 to 2020 and bowled at a very old Duckpin Bowling Center (which was next to the school) for about 4 times. The game is fun and shot my new high game which is a 100 but their Wood Lanes were terrible, the balls were hooking because it was severely damaged from the hot temperature and that place has no ventilation. That's Duckpin Bowling in the Philippines for ya, different wood lanes with no oil and there's no airconditioning. But when I came for my senior highschool graduation pictorial last year 2021 at a photo studio next to the place and while waiting for my parents, I decided to film the current state of that place. It was completely unplayable...there's a bunch of stuff around their lanes.
That's what I thought. But the best players have a 130-150 average. This game is way harder. I'll give you an example.. I have a 120 duckpin average and 210 regular bowling. It's that drastic. Regular bowling is a lot easier.
So tell me are there now two handed bowlers in duckpin too?lol.. Call me prejudice but I can't stand watching a two handed bowler.guess I'm too old fashioned.
Some people just simply lack the wrist strength and size to handle a bowling ball one handed, and especially in European Nine Pin, American Nine Pin, and Ten Pin Bowling.
@@paxhumana2015 not about strength, it's about power. You get so much from no-thumb (left hand never touches the ball at release as I'm sure you know). Many two-handers can release the ball in a respectable fashion one-handed too. But if you got the same precision with two as one, but a lot more power from more revs and speed playing two-handed, why play one-handed? Or two-finger, same thing at the end, haters gonna hate. -Yours, one handed bowler
It's a "regional" bowling probably originating in New England. It's similar to "Candlepin Bowling". Have no idea why it has hung around. New England is now part of the rest of the US.
Why is it a joke ? My 30 year old daughter is an amputee , she is missing her right arm , this allows her to enjoy the game it is also great for children and seniors .
I had never heard of this sport until I went to Baltimore while I was in the Army.
not sure how i landed here but i love the random of the tube

The algorithm works.
New sport I've never seen.
Well makes since this bowling game is not that common in the US also I reccomend you look up 5 pin bowling very interesting
It's actually an old sport and a dying breed too sadly
I have a lot of respect for Duck Pin Bowling. As a former 10 pin Kegler, i see the difficulty in making spares without fingers and thumb in ball.
@John Smith which is harder to control.👍
How cute are those pins😃
40:32 I've played many duckpin games in my life and have never seen this. She was robbed of a strike.
Same here, that was crazy!!
so are these done at bowling houses? or do they have their own?

RESPECT these young women are throwing heat and this is not an easy sport at all
I'm in town in Perry Hall from Southern California, visiting friends. They're taking Duck pin bowling. Looks like so much fun.
These girls are probably great at Skii Ball
Lmao
Too much power. They just get 10 everytime. Lol
Ahahahahaha...ive been bowling for over 20 years. I had no idea lol
when he said she was 17 i nearly spit out my beer
RIGHT?! I would have easily guessed 35-40 for both of them....

look up candle pin bowling too
First time ever seeing this sport
WTH!!! Never knew this was such a thing
Who resets the pins and shit? I need to see it!!
Edit: Oh 13:09 it shows the pin setter!!!
You clear the dead wood between shots if there is any.
Never heard of Duck Pins before.
I haven't gone duckpin bowling in years
Last duckpin establishment in Montgomery County, MD is White Oak Bowl.

Not my taste, but still looks pretty fun. I’m just your regular bowling fan
Everyone says that till strikes are too easy. Duckpin and candlepin bowling are more interesting and unpredictable
The hair 😂
How did I end up here?
I’m new to this kind of bowling. Why are the averages so much lower than 10-pin bowling?
Smaller balls, smaller pins but wider spaces in between them = more spares, less strikes

Probably a pretty girl if she'd smile a bit.
this is a sport wow
Not one spectator was on their phone 🤯 13 years later... not one spectator was watching the game 🤯

@@YungRainMan1111 indeed, but no one was on their pagers either 😂😂

Yes. In duckpins, they clear out the dead wood. In candlepin, another variation, the dead wood does NOT get moved. This can make spares either absurdly easy or very difficult depending on the placement.

And to think there even game with str8 taller skinny pins (candlepin)played with even smaller ball!
where? There?
@@gizzyguzzi And you are allowed in candlepins to use the deadwood on second and third shots rather clear it out. Its mostly in New England.
I thought this was just a novelty at bars in the Midwest or something.
Used to average about 120
Kids? They look 30
that girl is not 17, she for sure looks 30 hahaha
Why do they get three chances seems to easy to spare
The third one don’t count as a spare ..... u just get 10. No additional count
CANADIAN DUCKPINS, YOU ONLY GET 2 BALLS AND PINS ARE ON CABLES.
@18:34 She stole my haircut
Them pins looks like a duck.

Almost as good as Let’s Bowl
How much do the balls weigh ?
ABOUT 3LBS 5 OZ CAUSE CANDLEPIN BALLS WEIGH 2LBS 7 OZ
