Editing Duckpin bowling (section)

{{Short description|A variation of the sport of bowling}}
'''Duckpin bowling''' is a variation of the sport of [[bowling]].

Duckpin balls are {{convert|4+3/4|to|5|in|cm|1}}  in diameter, weigh between {{convert|1.53|and|1.70|kg|lboz|abbr=on|order=flip}} each, and lack finger holes. They are thus significantly smaller than those used in [[ten-pin bowling]] but are slightly larger and heavier than those used in [[candlepin bowling]].

Duckpins, although arranged in a triangle identical to that used in [[ten-pin bowling]], are shorter, slightly thinner, and lighter than their ten-pin equivalents, which makes it more difficult for the smaller ball to achieve a [[Strike (bowling)|strike]]. For this reason, similar to candlepin bowling, the bowler is allowed three rolls per frame.
