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.
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.
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.
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!
@@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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
@@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 ?
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. 😢
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.
