A standard Duckpin is very similar to the Ten-Pin Bowling Pin is its appearance, but is shorter and chunkier. A Duckpin is lighter in weight than the Ten-Pin Bowling Pin. Variations of Duckpin Bowling place a wide rubber band around the widest part of a Duckpin to increase its pin action when it is struck by the bowling ball.
