@@mikewrobel2881 It has been around for a very long time and is very culturally significant to the area. A documentary with some segments revolving around the house (Woodlawn Duckpin) was made 15 years ago and its a really good watch, narrated by ESPN's Kenny Mayne.
When I was younger, a bowling center converted to duckpin, but still had the full length 60' lanes. That was wild because you could really get a hook going.
Bowling Duck pins as a kid, you were allowed 3 shots per frame. There was a bowling center near where I lived that had 50 lanes. 25 Ten Pin, 25 Duck pin. We used to bowl a couple of games of 10 pin then go throw duck pin.
The ESPN zone in Vegas had something similar - narrower lane? - back, way back around 2002/03. We sucked at junior world team challenge and took a few teams over for a mini baker tourney on this stuff. WAY FUN!
I bowled duckpins for many years, it’s the most aggravating fun game ever. I’ve also bowled what we call ten pins is what you call regular bowling. I’m glad you told people that duck pins is a hard game. We don’t use the game with the strings. Most ten pin bowlers think duck pins as a sissy game because everything is small. It’s much harder than the big pins and balls. They don’t know what a chop is, LOL ! My son and I bowled on the pro tours, I no longer can bowl but he still does. You need to come out to Maryland and bowl some games without the strings and take a full approach. I enjoyed watching a few of your videos. I will sub to your channel. Kathy Simon
It doesn't seem much different from my normal house shot experience. 🙃 What happens if you roll the ball real slow? Give it time to mix and tumble pins? Maybe a real slow Brooklyn glancing shot?
Duckpin is pretty cool if you havent tried it. Was able to do it at the Hall of Fame in STL when they had it. Unfortunately it never picked up down in the South but knew it was a bit bigger up North. Not sure how big it is now compared to 20 years ago since a lot has changed in the sport since then.
You need to try a real duckpin center either in RI,CT or Maryland. You’re making me miss my game which I grew up on. I was lucky enough to be raised and ran a duckpin center in CT for many years till it closed. Keep up on the great videos.
I played duck pin bowling in the Philippines in 1973 while a stent in the Navy. We got 3 balls per shot. Was sure fun for a drunken sailor lol. It sure wasn’t string pin, but automatic machines and at least 10 lanes.
Glad it wasn't Strings here in the Philippines when it comes with Duckpins because that's not the beauty of flying Ducks and majority of the Duckpin Centers in tne Philippines are Pinboys. Here in Davao City, there's a Duckpin house called Dover Lanes which had 30 Lanes and equipped with the good old Sherman Pinsetters. I need to make another video there soon before something happens in the future.
LMFAO the scotty squad is out here and we got the memo! But hey, you being a huge purple hammer fan, really interested if you throw that and the NU Blue Hammer on a condition that really highlights the similarities or differences on those. IE your recommendation to play the gutter or as far right as possible (will that hold the same for the NU). And also the first ball hooking more than the rest of the shots.
@@brunsnick - thankyou, I’m trying to buy from the UK and trying to avoid the USA shipping fees I don’t suppose you know of anyone as I’m not having much luck ?
Those are the shortest lanes I have ever seen...I tried duckpin bowling when I was 16 and the lanes were regular length..not sure when they started it like this? It was much better on regular length lanes at the center...
Maybe throw the ball slower so pins don't fly everywhere and actually knock eachother down? Have you seen duckpin with bands on them? The actually throw it with backspin ...tons of oil on lanes though.
Even duckpins have strings now? A game where flying pins was essential. Even more than when bowling on Bowling lanes. So now we are even trying to take the strings to knock out pins and accept it? Seriously?
@@brunsnick yes. But stringpins are taking over even regular bowling. In Germany we have the highest energy prices in the world. The proprietors who are mostly not bowlers change every bowling alley to stringpins bowling. Same thing is happening in the USA it's even sanctioned by the usbc. Biggest fault ever. This will ruin the bowling we used to love. Profit it's all that counts. They don't even make it cheaper they keep the same prices per game even though they save tons of money less electricity, less maitananance, no mechanics. I wonder what the pros in the pba think about that. I saw a interview with belmo he talks about it very wise. It's keeping many bowling centers alive but it will be the end of bowling as we know it
@Muggel65 what percentage of lanes in Germany are currently stringpin? It’s not common here but there will be some that pop up and get converted. It won’t “take over”.
@@brunsnick well, bowling is not so popular in germany as in the US but this makes it even more tragic. All my home centers swapped to stringpins already even the ones who host the highest leagues and competitions. To find a "normal" bowling center i now have to drive 40 miles. Its a matter of time all of them will change. 😢
@@Muggel65 Given the fact that there isn't anything besides 10 pin bowling in a 2500 mile radius around my state, I'd be fine with seeing this near me.
Correct. It’s called Duckpin Social. Nick stated this multiple times in the video. I doubt this game could be confused with duckpins, unless maybe by someone who had never been exposed to either game.
Never been done in duckpins either. Women's world record was set in 1973. A 265. For a time it was the overall record. Bowled by Carole GIttings. She still holds it to this day. The men's record is 279.
@@jerrybouchelle3718 I dont know Man im in Québec we dont have the same duckpins here 300 is on a daily basis on duckpins ... They grooved the Alley and put small piece of Wood in front of Headpin to prevent split. Just stupid game.

What makes the house famous?

Haven’t thrown it yet. Filming this weekend.
@@brunsnick excited to get your take. I mean Packy is great and all but I’m not a two-handed bowler lol
@@P.vieRa_YT check out @TheHype-Bowling , he’s got his up already 👍🏻
I grew up in the DC area and that's the only kind of bowling we had. Very tough game.
The difficulty is why true Duck Pin (as well as Candle Pin) allows 3 balls per frame.
5 pin in Canada is the same thing. 3 balls per frame. Although it's easier than duckpin and candlepin, it's tougher than 10 pin.
You need to visit New England for real duckpin and candlepin bowling!
Candle pin would be hard. How long are their lanes.
@@mikeepps8705 60 ft lanes. Full approaches. Freefall pins. Look for Packy's videos bowling with family members.
Candlepin and real duckpin lanes are the same as tenpin both in width and length.
This is what I look like playing Wii Bowling.
Where am I able to purchase of these bowling balls ?
Distributors do sell these but in boxes of 6. Part numbers are on the Brunswick website under pins and supplies.
@@brunsnick - thankyou, I’m trying to buy from the UK and trying to avoid the USA shipping fees I don’t suppose you know of anyone as I’m not having much luck ?
Check with local pro shops and centers there to see if their distributors can order in.
In the spirit of your RUclips channel, you should name the 3-pin split DucksNick and that similar 4-pin split DucksNick Jr.
You almost had a half-Worcester
DUCKPIN SOCIAL with strings attached to the pins is pretty cool !
Duckpin sounds cool to play. I’d probably roll 50, lol
Has anybody perfected the spinner release for duckpin bowling.... asking for a friend
Try Duckpin bowling on full length lane
6:46 if that was candlepin, that would be a half Worcester
Those are the shortest lanes I have ever seen...I tried duckpin bowling when I was 16 and the lanes were regular length..not sure when they started it like this? It was much better on regular length lanes at the center...
This is a take on the game, I think it’s offered in multiple sizes but for a lot of venues like bars, this is perfect
This would be good for seniors. Hint small towns with no recreation.
They’re already in retirement communities so I agree! Fun time for all ages.
I think it would be cool if you and someone else made a video bowling on it with Epco duckpin balls and they have clear ones as well which are cool
Maybe throw the ball slower so pins don't fly everywhere and actually knock eachother down? Have you seen duckpin with bands on them? The actually throw it with backspin ...tons of oil on lanes though.
Need one of these in my house
Fun video. I need to do this!
Ought to make a duck pin purple hammer
A double in the 10th to beat you? Did he get a contract with Radical?
LOL unfortunately wasn’t the US Open
You mean that Brunswick and AMF can not make a modern Duckpin Pinsetters ? Give me a break !
Also the string pinsetters are a BIG JOKE !
The game has been around way before covid
cool tech hk44 bowling tech ted talk
🤣
As many have said, not duckins. They have regulation lanes.
It is duckpin just a different variation.
Rollerball is my favorite variant of this game! Straight up half-scale bowling!
Pro avg is 136-150.
Unfortunately this is not Duckpin bowling, this is an arcade game basically.
He said it in the video Duckpin Social...
Those lanes are too short. I’d be bored with that in no time.
I think you should throw it slower and let the ball mix it up
Even duckpins have strings now? A game where flying pins was essential. Even more than when bowling on Bowling lanes.
So now we are even trying to take the strings to knock out pins and accept it? Seriously?
This is a recreational game found in bars, hotels and retirement homes.

In Quebec competitive duckpins is more popular. Same lenght as big balls and pins are different shape than this with rubber around it.
Maybe don't throw it so hard... get more on action if they flop around the deck and don't go straight back.
I'd rather get a root canal...
This isn't real duckpin bowling. Real duckpin bowling has 60 ft lanes. There are also leagues and tournaments. This is more like an arcade game.

Seems like a great way to fk up your bowing swing
Candlepins is the hardest never a perfect game has been made.
Neither in rollerball.
Correct and candlepin has been around since 1880. The shape of the pins makes it a completely different game.
