Tenpins
Pin specifications are set by the United States Bowling Congress (USBC). World Bowling, formerly World Tenpin Bowling Association, has adopted the USBC specifications. Pins are {{convert|15|in|mm}} tall, {{convert|4.75|in|mm}} wide at their widest point, and weigh {{convert|3|lb|8|oz|kg|abbr=off}} ±{{convert|2|oz|kg|abbr=off}}.WEB,weblink Equipment Specifications and Certifications Manual, January 2021, bowl.com, 20â21, United States Bowling Congress, 2021-05-17,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20201112022429weblink">weblink 2020-11-12, live, The first British made tenpin was by H Massil and sons who received the permit no.1 from the British Tenpin Bowling Association (BTBA)WEB, BTBA Bowling Pin â Who was William Ivor Massil? â Talk Tenpin,weblink 2022-02-02, wp.talktenpin.net, The USBC indicated that, effective August 1, 2023, it is certifying string pinsetters and string pin bowling as an independent category of equipment and competition separate from conventional free-fall pinsetters.

(File:Kegeln-Kugel.jpg|right|thumb|Kegel pins and ball)Pins used in the German bowling game kegel appears to combine the design of tenpins and duckpins. The overall shape of the pin resembles a standard ten-pin bowling pins, and its small size is comparable to duckpins. Similar to five-pin bowling, these pins have strings attached on top of each, which connects them to the pinsetter.Pin construction
Bowling pins are constructed by gluing blocks of rock maple wood into the approximate shape, and then turning on a lathe. After the lathe shapes the pin, it is coated with a plastic material, painted, and covered with a glossy finish. Because of the scarcity of suitable wood, bowling pins can be made from approved synthetics. Currently there are synthetic pins sanctioned for play in five-pin, duckpin, and candlepin. There is one synthetic ten pin model approved by the USBC. When hit by the ball, synthetic pins usually sound different from wooden pins.Juggling clubs could be mistaken for bowling pins due to their similar shape. The two differ greatly in construction and weight.See also
