Types of pins





Five main variations are found in North America, varying especially in New England and parts of Canada:
ten-pin bowling: largest and heaviest pins, bowled with a large ball with finger holes, and the most popular size in North America
nine-pin bowling: pins usually attached to strings at the tops, uses a ball without finger holes
candlepin: tallest pins, thin with matching ends, and bowled with a handheld ball
duckpin: short, squat, and bowled with a handheld ball
five-pin bowling: tall, between duckpins and candlepins in diameter with a rubber girdle, bowled with a handheld ball, mostly found in Canada
