We descend upon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ducksontheave.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Du<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ducksontheave.com\/target=\u201d_blank\u201d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">cks on the Avenue<\/a> in West Hartford four to seven at a time, filling the space of two lanes and vying for championship honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, we compete men against women. Now that the children are growing and we\u2019ve begun to welcome sons-in-law into the family, that\u2019s a possibility that we couldn\u2019t dream of when the kids were young, and dad and son were woefully outnumbered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since all of the balls are roughly the same weight, selecting the right orb to roll down the lane is more a decision guided by superstition or fancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis one looks pretty,\u201d says daughter number two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the men, the decision is a little more scientific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Son-in-law bends over the row of earthy-colored spheres, silently calculating something unknown before selecting one from the center of the pack. Dad takes a more physical approach, lifting two balls side-by-side, performing a scale of justice routine while he balances like weights one against another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your turn is up, duckpin bowling is like any other type of bowling. You take aim for the kingpin and launch the ball. For some the act is more graceful than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dad has a knack for laying the ball smoothly on the floor with a rapid fire that makes short work of the lane. Some of the rest of us, myself included, find it hard to get the dance right, and take a more robotic approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We launch the ball with great intentions only to watch it roll from the center line and trace its way down the gutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What sets duckpin bowling apart from other types of bowling in Connecticut, or anywhere for that matter, is the size of the ball and the pins. Duckpin bowling balls are small, only five inches in diameter and weighing only 4 ounces. There are no finger holes either. Instead, they fit manageably in my hand and quite easily in a larger palm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Duckpin-bowling-balls-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Duckpin Bowling balls in various colors, lined up and ready for use\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pins are pint-sized as well, and lighter in weight than regular bowling pins. The small size of each playing piece requires greater precision to knock down multiple pins. Perfect games are rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The United States Bowling Congress reported over 55,000 perfect games (twelve strikes) in the 2013-2014 professional ten-pin season, but the duckpin pros know that there has never been a perfect game in duckpin bowling. A tad off to the right or left and the ball makes a tunnel through the setup, taking down the pins directly in its path while leaving the rest in vertical formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-history-of-duckpin-bowling-in-connecticut\">The History of Duckpin Bowling in Connecticut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Scattering duckpins is not an easy sport. It\u2019s about as difficult as tracking down the origins of duckpin bowling. Some say that the roots can be found in the depths of a Baltimore gaming hall owned by baseball greats John McGraw and Robert Wilson. This would be around 1900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, newer evidence suggests that the game was being played near Lowell, Massachusetts as early as the 1890s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Duckpin bowling has always been an East Coast sport. As it spread across the region, kingpin centers flourished in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Maryland. Names like Wolfie Wolfensberger and Toots Barger topped the leaderboards, men and women alike rising to the duckpin halls of fame. They drew SRO crowds and loyalists as dedicated as any pro sport fan today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As time moved on, duckpin bowling began falling out of fashion in Connecticut. The likes of football, soccer and lacrosse seized the fancy of community sports enthusiasts. For those not blessed with talent, it was easier to watch the pros from television, iPad or phone than to venture into underground alleys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-future-of-duckpin-bowling-at-risk\">The Future of Duckpin Bowling at Risk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/duckpin-bowling-ready-to-roll-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Society may have put duckpin bowling on a possible road to extinction, but its own past is accelerating the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1953, Kenneth Sherman invented an automatic pinsetter. The machine was faster than hired pin boys and more accurate. Since duckpin bowling requires three rolls or turns per set, making pin setting faster and more efficient resulted in happier patrons and more games bowled in a night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a boon for the duckpin bowling establishment until Sherman decided to shut down his operation nearly fifty years ago. At that time, Brunswick, the giant of ten-pin bowling, wanted to buy his patent. Fearing that Brunswick would stop making the equipment to put duckpin centers out of business, Sherman refused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, it\u2019s hard to find parts for the pin setting machines which operate on 1,000 moving pieces, including cast iron gears. Duckpin bowling operators are quick to cannibalize on closing centers, stockpiling parts and pieces in backrooms and basements, but alleys are disappearing fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1963, there were around 450 duckpin bowling centers. Today, there are less than 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sherman\u2019s patent has been expired for close to thirty years, but without stronger demand for duckpin bowling, no one has shown an interest in resurrecting the duckpin pin setter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a catch twenty-two. Without parts for the pin setter, the game can\u2019t grow, and without demand for the sport, no one is interested in manufacturing the pin setting machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"surviving-duckpin-bowling-alleys-in-connecticut\">Surviving Duckpin Bowling Alleys in Connecticut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube .wp-embed-responsive .wp-block-embed.wp-embed-aspect-16-9 .wp-block-embed__wrapper:before {  display: none !important; }\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Duck Pin Bowling\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FGmt5GiIL4Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The fading heyday of Duckpin bowling in Connecticut is always on my mind when we make our nearly annual pilgrimage to Ducks on the Avenue. If duckpin dies, we will miss out on traditions within traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, there is setting up the computerized score keeping system. My son always makes up new nicknames for each family member. Sometimes it\u2019s hard for us to even know who is bowling what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there is the renewed sense of learning something new, picking up the ball to find how little you remembered from the year before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new comradery\u2014men against women\u2014eases the passing of time and the growing up of children, giving us new traditions to revel in. No doubt someday soon, we\u2019ll welcome grandchildren to our teams, and start a new generation of duckpin bowlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For as long as we can, we\u2019ll continue to support duckpin bowling in Connecticut, as one of the few remaining areas where the sport is active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"htthttp:\/\/www.danburyduckpin.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Danbury Duckpin&nbsp;Lanes<\/a><\/strong><br> 4.5&nbsp;&nbsp;(89) \u00b7 Bowling Alley<br> Danbury, CT<br> (203) 744-4504 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.devonduckpinbowling.com\/target=\u201d_blank\u201d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Devon Duckpin Lanes<\/a><\/strong><br> 551 Naugatuck Ave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Milford, CT<br> (203) 872-4541 <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-76bd2786\">\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.laurelbowling.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Laurel Duckpin<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>266 Main St<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winsted, CT 06098<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>860.379.5391<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lucky Strike Lanes, Inc.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>185 Stafford Rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mansfield Center, CT<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>860.423.8510<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/woodlawnduckpin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Woodlawn Duckpin<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>240 Platt Ave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>West Haven, CT<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>203.932.3202<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-does-duckpin-bowling-cost\">What Does Duckpin Bowling Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To give you  an idea of the cost, a game at Ducks on the Avenue costs $7.50 per game per person with additional games at $3.50. Renting shoes is $4.50 per bowler. Shoes have always been clean and look almost new every time we go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check with the center of your choice before heading out for hours of operation.
