How many bowling pins were used in 1895?
In the United States, ten pins were already fairly standard by 1895, when the American Bowling Congress was founded. Fifty years earlier, ninepins (with nine bowling pins arranged in a diamond shape) was the game of choice. But in the 1840s, several states approved a ban on ninepin bowling, in part because of the gambling associated with the sport. So proprietors added a tenth pin, rearranged the rack into its current triangle shape, and the sport of tenpin bowling was born.
What strategies do you use in bowling?
The best strategy in bowling is to knock down as many pins as possible. Bowling, while it can be an individual or team sport, is not a defensive sport. Some bowlers or teams will use a term called sand bagging, which is purposely bowling below their abilities and average in an attempt to lower their averages so that they can receive higher handicap or be classified in a different division in tournament entries. This practice is frowned upon and many leagues have rules that penalize bowlers or teams that sand bag.
