Basement Bowling - Full 10 Frame Game

A full 10 frame game on my half-scale Basement Bowling lane. The half-scale version of bowling is very challenging and actually is more difficult than regulation 10-pin bowling. The score in this video is one of our higher scores.
This video gives you an idea of how realistic the pin-action is. I bowled the first 6 frames. I roll a normal speed, hook ball. My oldest daughter bowled frames 7 through 10. She throws a more direct and much faster ball. Both types of shots work well, although I admit she is better at it than I am! :-)

I have since replaced the pinsetter with an upgraded model.

Thanks for watching and visit www.BasementBowling.com for more info.

Can you make a video showing how the pisetter works?

You have a great alley, by the way!!

@supermonkeyballboy: I have to stop redesigning it first! :)

@TheNewBorn230: While the game itself is a lot of fun, setting the pins is actually fun too. But your right in that it would take a lot longer to bowl a game by yourself. When there are 2 of us, usually one of us bowls 2 frames while the other one sets pins, then we switch and the one who was setting pins bowls 2 frames.

@shing5145: Not on the half-scale lane. Those are candlepin balls weighing around 2lb. 4oz. In 'real life' I roll a 16 pounder at the lanes.

@sethb9: Those aren't duckpins. They are half-scale tenpins.

[BasementBowling]

@Hondarawpower13: Yes they are.

[BasementBowling]

@123flynnbot: They are 7 1/2 inches tall. Regulation tenpin=15 inches.

@LittleNinja39: Just like my regulation-size bowling game is at the alley! :)

@TheMotorman116: Thanks. Just scale it down until it fits!
