Tenpins were traditionally made out of wood, specifically from hardwoods like maple or pine, which provided the necessary durability and weight for the game. In modern Bowling, however, many tenpins are now made from synthetic materials such as plastic or a resin composite, which offer increased durability and consistency. The shift to synthetic materials also allows for easier maintenance and manufacturing.

Ten-pin bowling.

In duckpin bowling, the pins are typically made of wood or a combination of wood and plastic. The standard height of a duckpin is about 9.8 inches, and they are shorter and squatter than traditional tenpins, which gives duckpin bowling its unique gameplay. The pins are designed to be lightweight and have a smaller diameter, making them easier to knock down with the smaller duckpin balls.
It is exactly the same length as in tenpin bowling: 60 feet from the foul line to the center of the headpin. It is also the same width, 41 inches; though the gutters which run alongside the lane are both narrower and shallower than in tenpins.
