Charlie Gill from Ridgeley sent me an article from the Baltimore Sun that I found interesting and will share with you. A bowling pin manufacturing plant in Antigo, Wisc. was closed down by Brunswick, leaving the only U.S. plant in Lowville, N.Y. The plant had the capacity to make around one million pins a year, however, changes in production methods and with China and Mexico in the business there is over capacity.
A Brunswick spokesman also stated that because league bowling has declined, even though recreational bowling has increased, pins last longer than in previous years. The point was that a league bowler averaging 180 knocks down more pins than a recreational bowler where a 120 score may be a personal best, thus less frequent replacement.
Good luck bowling and have fun striking out!
