Duckpins are shorter and squatter than standard tenpins. Canadian fivepins are between duckpins and tenpins in size, but have a thick, inch wide rubber band around the widest part of the pin to increase pin action when struck.

They are nearly cylindrical in shape and resemble candles, hence their name. Unlike other bowling pins, candlepins may be set on either end. Bowling pins are constructed by gluing blocks of rock maple wood into the approximate shape, and then turning on a Lathe tool lathe . After the lathe shapes the pin, it is coated with a plastic material, painted, and covered with a glossy finish. Because of the scarcity of suitable wood, bowling pins can be made from approved synthetics. Currently there are synthetic pins sanctioned for play in five pin, duckpin, and candlepin. There is one synthetic tenpin model approved by the USBC. When hit by the ball, synthetic pins usually sound different than wood pins. Juggling club s could be mistaken for bowling pins due to their similar shape. The two differ greatly in construction and weight.

Gameplay The game functioned similarly to its predecessor TenPin Alley , however offered players a stripped down and simplified version of the original making the game less about the physics of tenpinbowling and more about an enjoyable arcade game . TenPin Alley 2 offered players only two gameplay modes, a practice mode and a tournament mode, moreover the game contained eight of its characteristically humorous bowlers, and four alleys. Control system One of the main criticisms of the original game was the complexity of its control system, something TenPin Alley 2 has tried to correct, making its controls a simple sequence of button presses.

Lofting in bowling is when a bowler throws a bowling ball more than a short distance down the lane. This is usually done with the bounce pass technique, but can also be done with a straight ball. Lofting is looked down upon by the bowling community and bowling alley employees because of the damage to the ball and lanes. Many bowling alleys that use wood for their lanes will either have signs that tell the bowlers not to loft, or an employee will tell the bowlers not to do so. Lofting the ball before the arrows in some bowling alleys is not against the rules. Some professional bowlers do loft a considerable amount under certain lane conditions. Cranker s and other high rev players may be forced to loft under dry conditions in order to delay the ball s reaction and prevent it from overhooking. Lofting over the gutter is known as popping the cap and is done when a bowler hooks the whole lane. In the sport of candlepin bowling , lofting a ball beyond a line situated ten feet 3.05 m down the lane from the main foul line is called a lob , and is considered a ball foul, resulting in no counted pinfall from a ball delivered in such a manner, as the ball must first touch the lanebed on the bowler s side of the lob line to be considered a legal delivery.
