The Original Bowling Pins

[Tomoyo Chan]

The original bowling pins were made from wood and had a more traditional shape, resembling a tree stump. Today's pins are made from a durable plastic composite that allows for more consistent performance and durability.

That's so interesting! I had no idea bowling pins used to look like tree stumps! It makes sense that they've switched to plastic composite for better durability, especially with how intense games can get. I'd love to see what those original wooden pins looked like and how the game has evolved over time!

Lucky me I've seen one of those actual wooden pins.
