The closeup perspective makes such a difference. From a bowler's end the pins seemed to be in a straight horizontal line when I was a kid. Haven't bowled duckpins since then ! Cool vid. Thanks !
I did notice that both gutters have conveyor belts taking the knocked down pins back into the machine . I also noticed that duckpin lanes have a horizontal sweeper rather than the sweeper that comes straight down and then sweeps the pins backward into the machine as regular bowl- ing lanes have .
10, candle, and duckpin have horizontal rakes. Just different movements I know what you mean though.... The reason duckpin lanes have a rake on the side is for pins that fly further out.
@@TheBowlerYT 10 practice games and you'd average over 100. It's been a very, very long time for me. Usually I played in the Johnston area. In the ancient days of the 1960's, I bowled on Pine St where the place had a 2 inch rubber stop at the foul line.
@randrrr2193 Wait a rubber stop 2 inches thick??? Wouldn't that cause people to trip and fall. If so, how do you feel about it being replaced by a drawn on foul line😁 Also wow 1960's!
@randrrr2193 I would imagine it did a lot more than stop bowlers😂 I'm sure many falls were made and many more face-plants. I already have weird footin with approaches so I know i would be one of the many to trip onnthe rubber line haha

Yeah they all look so closely packed back there. Glad you enjoyed!
Where is this located?

The good old Sherman pinsetter. Those, and the Bowl Mor candlepin machine have been workhorses over the years. 👍😁
It's a good machine I will admit
Definitely hope I can come across one again

It is a fun sport to play

This is the first time that I have ever seen duckpin bowling !
It's really fun and hard honestly.
(Free fall duckpin, not that string duckpin stuff)
Same!
What are the two moving belts on both sides for?
When the pins fly too far out and the rake can't reach it
Now that was a sweet 2-9 spare pickup at 1:46!
He was "Is" a Pro Duckpin player. I agree he's great
So which one is the amateur and which one is the pro?
@randrrr2193 black balls (me) amateur
Red and white balls (Pro)
The guy was insanely good, and I would love to meet him again

@@TheBowlerYT lol I bowled 10 pin too, so the rubber foul line was weird. Stopped bowlers from fouling though!
