Use to bowl ducks along time ago. When I was younger won the maryland state duckpin tournament. Went to the nationals and we finished 3rd. I wish I could bowl them again.

Growing up, my friends and I would host our birthday parties at Mark Twain Lanes in Hartford, CT. Sadly, as I grew up, the lanes shut down. I thought they were gone forever. Almost fifteen years later, I found a wonderful girlfriend who lives in Mass. Her whole family plays candlepin bowling which I had the chance to try last week. Fondly remembering the old days of duckpins, I found your website. Astoundingly, I located a duckpin alley in Hartford, CT named 'The Alley!' I hopped in my car to check it out. To my amazement, it was in fact, the same location as the old Mark Twain Lanes. Apparently, it had just changed names a couple times in the last 15 years. I bowled 5 games with a high score of 93. Humbling indeed. Anyway, I am a big fan again and plan to get my friends involved in the sport as well. -Matt

We bowl at Atomic Duckpin Bowling in the fountain square area of Indianapolis and we love it. My 14 year old daughter loves to take her friends, eat at the old fashioned soda fountain upstairs ( they have the best burgers/grilled onions and hand dipped shakes) and then go downstairs for some games of bowling. Good clean fun with the exception of the smoke. Nearly perfect - thanks to those responsible for a terrific step back to a simpler time.

Thanks for the great duckpin site. We happen to live in the same town as one of the five remaining duckpin alleys in Massachusetts. We didn't realize how lucky we were until looking at your site. Thanks also for tracking the closed alleys, it's interesting (and sad) to see how they are disappearing.

My mother's side of the family is from Baltimore, and whenever we go back "home" I look forward to duckpins. It is a shame that this sport is not available everywhere. I think it would see a comeback if it were introduced in the Deep South. There are many bowlers here that have never heard of duckpins.

I was in a nostalgic mood today and decided to do a search on duckpins.
It was a blessing to find sites like these as it brings back a great many memories for me. You see, Salisbury has not had duckpins in almost 15 years. The only place left on the Eastern Shore that has them is in Chestertown (two hours away)! I grew up in the old Wicomico Lanes here and was fortunate enough to see some great action. Jeff Ferrand, who has been a pro for many years, was the star of the local house. My aunt, Earlene Morris, went to Baltimore to appear on the old "Pinbusters" television show that used to be on WBAL-TV 11 on Saturday afternoons. For many years, she held the scoring record and I still have the old cue cards from her appearances.Anyway, I am rambling again about the good old days. I still get up to Chestertown about twice a year and spend a perfectly good Saturday evening bowling duckpins and remembering the old days. It is good to hear that the grand old game is not dead yet. Thanks,

My father was a semi pro bowler, who raised me in the bowling alley. I started duckpin bowling when I was 4, and bowled until I was about 15. I stopped duckpin bowling for 4 years (don't know why I did). I decided to join in a league with my father at Parkville Lanes in the summer of 2002. I started off with a 110 average and ended with a 112. Bowled into the fall, started with 112 and ended with 113. Bowled in summer 2003 league, started with a 113, ended with a 116. I'm currently bowling in the fall league and have a 128 average. Not bad for getting back into the sport last year. Now I wish I would have kept on bowling. Hopefully we can save a great sport from dying. I know...it saved me!

Have bowled duckpins since I was sixteen. I'm 42 now. Also bowled ten pins. More of a challenge to ducks than tens... but I like a challenge. Bowl in a couple of duckpin leagues a week, have a respectable 125 avg. Highest game I ever bowled in ducks was a 210 at Glen Burnie Bowl in Glen Burnie, MD. Duckpins is alive and well in Central Md. If duckpins went away, I'd turn in my bowling shoes and sell my bowling balls. No way I'd bowl ten pins again. This was a really great site, it's in my list of favorites so that I can go back to it from time to time.

I love bowling..all types! I grew up bowling candlepin and then tenpin. I bowled ducks for the first time at the old Fountain Square Lanes in Indy about 6 years ago and love it! I would LOVE to own a large, 40-50 lane house that features all the major bowling formats, maybe 10 lanes of each duckpin, candlepin, tenpin, rubberband duck, and fivepin! My high games: TEN: 297, candle: 132, ducks: 154 Ohio could use some smallball lanes!

Where is Fairlanes? AMF kill them, but not duckpin bowling. I learned to bowl at Fairlanes Perring Parkway, got better at Fairlanes Joppa (135). When I get to Batlimore to visit always go duckpin bowling. Does any one know what AMF did with all the old lanes & equipment? Really miss bowling duckpins.

Went duckpin bowling for the first time on 9-20-03. And had a good time. Had to drive almost 30 miles to go, but it was worth it. If there were some lanes closer to where I live I would most likely join a league. My 2 kids liked it also and they want to go again. First saw duckpin bowling on the show from Baltimore, "bowling for dollars", my mom even won $20 from the show.

I have played it once in a bar in Charlotte, NC but have forgotten how much room you would need for 4 to 6 lanes. Any dimensions or guesses would be greatly appreciated. I would love to bring this fun sport to my area of the world.

Hello everyone! Not all the news is bad. Here's an update on my situation since I last wrote: Even though I've moved, I still live about 80 miles from the nearest duckpin center (Barnum Lanes in Stratford, CT), but that hasn't stopped me from bowling in three leagues last year! I've given up bigpins completely, thanks to severe elbow tendinitis that won't let me pick up a 15-pound ball. I also won my first tournament, the 2001 Swede Lavers Memorial, and came in second in both Single and Triples at the 2002 Conn. State championships. I finished this past season with a full-season average over 130 in two different leagues, and I am ready to become the only current DPBA pro bowler from the state of New York! I have bowled my first 200+ game (a 210!) and am only five pins shy of my first 500, though I've broken 475 four times in the past two years. I also had a letter printed in the Winter 2003 Duckpin News, about how duckpins has it all over bigpins--read it if you can find it! Anyone else have good news to report? Please share!

We are getting ready to move and have been deciding what to sell and what to move. I have 11 rubberband duckpins and two balls. All are at least 50-60 years old, but in very good condition. I would like to sell this set. Anyone interested, please email me and I will email pictures. I am currently located in Central New York.

I work at a Bowling center in Northern CA. Last month a friend took me to MD/DC and we tried our hand at Duck Pins several times in Severna Park. I'm returning this month and I intend to stop in for a game or two. I wish we offered this sport in Concord, Ca!

$50 FIRM to ANYONE who has a MINT condition P.B.S. rubberband duckpin. My wife won this duckpin way back as a bantam bowler. She doesn't have it anymore but still wishes she did, so I want to give her the same duckpin on our anniversary. This wooden but plastic coated duckpin has a blue corporate symbol on front and 2 stripes painted at top. Does this description match your rubberband duckpin? Paying $50 for it if it's MINT! E-mail a photo and questions to pbsduckpin@yahoo.com This is a great duckpin page!

I grew up on Duckpin Bowling in Richmond, Virginia, from 1967 until 1974. My senior year in high school, I had a 127 average in the youth league. Once I left for college and a career in the Army, my duckpin career was over. I still have fond memories of the great people I bowled with and many are still active in Richmond as I read their names and scores from the Sunday Richmond paper over the web. I still have my bowling balls and some patches from the past. Thanks for having the web site.

I absolutely loved duckpin bowling with some friends of mine in Fountain Square in Indiana. This was a great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

Just saw your list of Duckpin Alleys. Very interesting. I didn't have any idea that there were still that many lanes in this county. I started duckpin bowling about l956 in Washington, DC and later moved to NC and had to move to tenpins as all the duckpins were gone near here. I am glad I found your site.

Looking for comments and suggestions on whether or not I should add a few duck pin lanes to a center I am planning. Is there a greater amount of trafic because of them? What are the additional markets that open up by having Duck Pin lanes? Seniors Small Children Handicaped What is the cost of equipment and maintanence vs. 10 Pin?

I used to be a ten pin bowler for many years until my tendonitis became bad. I moved to Pa in 1999 and tried duckpin. I can do that without the pain. I enjoy doing the sport. I don't do it on a regular basis. Good Luck in getting it to grow back.

I am a frequent duckpin bowler and sometimes 10 pin bowler in baltimore. I bowl at Parkville Lanes and am on the major league on saturdays. Im 16 and have pretty much done it all my life. It was crushing when they closed AMF Joppa. There was never one day that place wasnt packed, what a stupid move to close it. I love the game and have just received some new advice that has helped my game immensely! I dont bowl 10 pin much anymore because it messes up my duckpin game!

My wife & I are attempting to acquire information about duckpin pinsetters and returns. However, I know that nobody has made them in a long time. I understand someone in Iowa is designing one, but do not have a contact for him. Any useful info about a contact will be appreciated.

Is duckpin bowling the same things as "regular" bowling? I'm soo confused. Looking at the rules, they appear to be the same, but i've never heard it called duckpin! Thanks for the great site.

Great site, I was in a conversation w/ a guy at work and he had the oppotunity to Duckpin while in Maryland I originally being from Massachusetts also did but then candlepin lanes took over. BTW, The manufacturer from Worcester also made textile weaving looms I had worked on some of there machines that were built in the early 20's. Thanx Again for the info. Wish they had Duckpin or candlepin out here in ohio LOL

I used to bowl duckpins many years ago at the Dual Lanes in Hagerstown. Not very good at it, tho ... just there for the beer.
