So let’s grab a slice, and talk about the great game of bowling!

Types Of Pins

Of course, the main goal of bowling is to knock down all the pins at the end of the lane. But what even are those pins?

Bowling pins are almost universally made of wood, no matter what type of pin they are. Watching pins get made can be a hypnotic process because modern pins are created through automatic lathes that reshape a piece of food almost as though it were pottery. Once the pin is shaped, it gets coated in plastic and painted, before being finished with a high-gloss finish that also helps protect the pin from damage.
