Question
My grandmother has been claiming that she's always played 10 pin bowling with the small balls, which she claims is normal. could you please clarify this for me. Couold this be just a NewBrunswick Canada thing or is she mistaken?
Thank you!
I know when pin boys were in use, ten pin bowling could be done with small balls. Once automatic pinsetters came along, the small ball ten pin balls were unusable.
Duckpins is played with a small ball and can be played with pin boys or automatic pinsetters. It uses ten pins and the same lanes, but the pins and balls are smaller.
Duckpins is a fun game and can be quite a contrast to the ten pin game.
Good luck,
Chip
