Amazing ending to duckpin match - John Gorman

[cooldog60]

I used to set pins when I was a kid. The pins were the ones with the rubber around the mettle.

[cooldog60]

@cooldog60 learn how to spell it is middle.

[tpstrat14]

Just classless, John Gorman. Save your celebrations for after you shake your opponent's hand. Don't throw your hands up in the air in his face. What an ass

[oldaardvark]

Wow...I bowled duckpins as a kid (Salisbury, MD). Never saw a ball come out and do that.

[mbrand19971]

These pins can sure fly and would love to play Duckpins.

[nothingbutstrikes1]

I fucking love the pin action

[KidODeath500]

where are duckpin lanes found?

[cooldog60]

@KidODeath500 The only one I ever knew of was in Jeannette Pa. in the early 60's

[cwsfan16]

Duckpin looks extremely fun!!! I wish there was an alley near where I live!!

[AWJFunk]

gotta pick up your deadwood....

[Zoomer30]

I can see now why they have the sweep that way. A normal 10 pin sweeper would never work (pins seem to fly all over and would be missed)

[BIGGREENLEAF1]

@Zoomer30 There is a version of the machine that sweeps the pins just like a tenpin/candlepin machine. In fact it was made by the same company that made the candlepin machine, Bowl-Mor. If you want to see that machine in action I have 4 videos of it on my home channel page that were shot about 3 months ago in CT.

[thisguy5o5]

nbc would pick this stuff up if they had half a brain

[BJSteigner]

@thisguy5o5 How about local independent TV?? That would do much better.

[Zoomer30]

The way those pins fly that's how they got their name

[tonerduckpin]

What year was that filmed? I thought Fairlanes went out of business years ago.

[dialagranny]

by the looks of the vid it may just have. Amazing comeback though.

The Bowling Ball:

IT's ALIVE!!!

I bet the pins were like wtf! lol!

[Clubpenguincheatsful]

HA IM 8 AND I GOT 123!

[gsgeek540]

2:53 LOL

[Brutekiller147]

NICE VIDEO!!!

[Tata996]

Haha. You can hit the head pin and only get two. Duckpins are very difficult.

[raskolniki]

the highest i ever had was 106 i felt so proud

[Brutekiller147]

I got a 141

[Brutekiller147]

But you should feel proud. That is an excellent score (:

[diffphonia]

yea i live in ct and bowled for about 8-9 years and stopped,had like a 130 avg when i quit,im thinking bout gettin back into it i miss it tons

[diffphonia]

sjaffe do you bowl duckpin?

[sjaffe]

absolutely! I was on a league (in MD) for some time, but now I am based in New York and the closest alley is over 2 hours away in CT! I bowl whenever I'm back down in the DC/MD area, and often in CT when given the opportunity.

[BJSteigner]

@sjaffe The nearest one is in Stratford, CT....Barnums Recreation Center....PM Me and I have the info for you.

[crakerjack0909]

@sjaffe what ally did u shoot at in md cuz i bowl at suitland

[iisyouneek]

is the scoring the same has 10 pin?? im a 5 pin bowler i average 239, duckpin looks fun. and that spinning ball strike...is just insane luck...ive never seen something like that

[sjaffe]

You get three throws in duckpins, strike on the first, spare on the second, a flat 10 if you knock them all down on the 3rd. A perfect 300 game has -never- been bowled in duckpins. For more on the sport check my other videos for "300 Ducks"

[cr2822]

Thanks for posting this. My family bowled duckpins when I was a kid. I like tenpins too, but the ducks are fun and challenging.

[lemmywinks88]

hahaha at 2:06 the commentators like

'John Gorman's got some real adrenaline going..' and the dude looks so disinterested its unbelievable. This is entertainment.

[Wookie325]

I wish they showed the amateur duckpin tour on tv. Really fun to watch back in the late 80's.

[dogryan100]

OMG OMG OMG!!!!! you made the second duckpin bowling video i have watched probenly the best thanx.

[centercounter]

You just don't see this type of entertainment in tenpin! That's why I like watching duckpin and candlepin. I could just see a Walter Ray Williams shot bouncing out of the pit...

Yes, more duckpin shows please!

[5pinTy]

I must say... This is some of the finest bowling I have ever seen!

[Wolfman12395]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  That spinning ball strike was fucking INSANE!!

[Muchodelcrazy]

That was amazing luck! If I was that other guy, I'd be cursing every God I could think of!

[wahoo423]

lol, the wes guy v accurate, 3 shots right in the middle

[Candlepinman]

Awesome! More duckpin shows please.
