Five-pin bowling is a bowling variant which is only played in Canada , where many bowling alleys offer it, either alone or in combination with ten-pin bowling . It was devised around 1909 by Thomas F. Ryan in Toronto, Ontario , at his Toronto Bowling Club , in response to customers who complained that the ten-pin game was too strenuous. He cut five tenpins down to about 75% of their size, and used hand-sized hard rubber balls, thus inventing the original version of five-pin bowling. Contents Gameplay Five-pin Bowling Terminology Mechanics of the Game (Pin-setting) Major Tournaments ... edit Gameplay The balls in five-pin are small enough to fit in the hand and therefore have no fingerholes. At the end of the lane there are five pins arranged in a V. In size they are midway between duckpins and ten-pins, and they have a heavy rubber band around their middles to make them move farther when struck. The centre pin is worth five points if knocked down, those on either side, three each, and the outermost pins, two each, giving a total of 15 in each frame.

Search Five-Pin Bowling Table of Contents History Other Resources History When ten-pin bowling was introduced to Toronto in 1905, it became a lunch-time recreation for many people. To speed up the game, they frequently had only five pins set up. Thomas F. Ryan, owner of the Temperance Street Bowling Club, in 1909 was inspired to create a new sport based on that idea. He had five pins whittled down and he set up a system in which each pin was assigned a number of points from 1 to 5. Five-pin bowling caught on quickly. The first league was formed in Toronto in 1910. Two years later, a rubber band circling the throat of the pins was added to increase the amount of action. The first women's league was established in Toronto in 1921 and two years later the sport was introduced to Western Canada. That resulted in the founding of the Canadian Bowling Association, based in Toronto, 1927. However, bowlers in Western Canada adopted their own scoring system in 1930. Ryan's original system had assigned the values 4, 2, 1, 3, and 5 to the 1 through 5 pins respectively. The Western system used the values 1, 4, 5, 3, and 2. In 1944, the Western Canadian Five-Pin Bowling Assocation was founded in Regina, Saskatchewan. The two areas of the country continued with their own scoring systems until 1952, when a new national system was established, assigning the values 2, 3, 5, 3 and 2 to the five pins.

It was an elite and private club with a piano, a string orchestra, and potted palm trees. When customers complained about the size and weight of the tenpin balls, Ryan had his father reduce the size of the pins to approximately three-quarters of the originals. He spaced five of them equally apart on the tenpin triangle and used a hand-sized rubber ball to knock them down. He also devised a special scoring system for the new game.

No one in the rest of the world actually plays five-pin bowling but then they didn't really play hockey in Southern California for a long time either. You just wait. For over 7,000 years bowlers have been throwing a large heavy ball at 10 pins and trying to knock them down. In 1880, an American took the sport indoors and set up lanes. In 1909 along came Canada's Tommy Ryan. He owned Toronto's highly exclusive Toronto Bowling Club. It featured the standard ten-pin game. It also had the cream of Toronto society as members. While Canada's rich elite wanted to bowl, they had other things to do and couldn't wait around all day for pin boys to manually set up 10 whole pins. Tommy Ryan had an idea.

Bowling Sites Bowling ball Bowling ball From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A bowling ball is a round ball made from rubber, urethane, plastic, or a combination of these materials which is used in the sport of bowling. Ten-pin bowling balls generally have a set of three holes drilled in them, one each for the ring and middle finger, and one for the thumb; however, rules allow for up to five finger holes. A five-pin bowling ball has no finger holes and is smaller so that the bowler can hold the ball in the palm of their hand. Most bowling alleys provide free balls for patrons to use, called house balls, although avid bowlers may purchase their own. These are often customized, and can feature specially sized finger holes (in the case of ten-pin balls) or monograms. Bowling balls come in a wide variety of colors, and are often either a single flat color, a swirl-like design of multiple colors, or a single color with an iridescent look. It is even possible to obtain transparent bowling balls, painted in such a way as to make it appear as though an object is inside. Some objects have included skulls, footballs, and baseballs.

Main How-To Sports-Recreation Different Types of Bowling Cool Sites Improve Your Golf Game Different Types of Bowling Most people are familiar with the basic game of 10 pin bowling, but there are actually many different games that involve knocking down bowling pins with a ball. Ten-pin is the most popular incarnation of bowling played in the United States. It involves knocking down 10 pins that are 15 inches high and approximately 4.7 inches in diameter. These pins are set up in a triangular pattern at the end of a long and flat surface called a lane, with the head pin set up at a distance of 60 feet from the foul line (which is a line that cannot be crossed by the bowler when throwing the ball). All of the bowlers have ten frames with two chances in each frame to knock down as many pins as they can. You receive one point for each pin that is knocked down with bonus points earned if all ten pins are knocked down in a frame. Another version, which is called “no-tap” bowling , is identical to ten-pin bowling except one rule stipulates a first shot which knocks down nine pins is also called a strike. Another version of bowling is called Duckpin bowling . It is a style that is popular along the east coast of the United States and has all of the same rules as ten-pin except for the size of the pins and ball. Duckpins are shorter and thinner, at 9 13/32-inches tall by 4 1/8 inches wide, and the balls weigh at most 3 pounds, 12 ounces, as opposed to 6 to 16 pounds for a ten-pin bowling ball.
