Most people are familiar with the basic game of 10 pin bowling, but there are actually many different games that involve knocking down bowling pins with a ball. Ten-pin is the most popular incarnation of bowling played in the United States. It involves knocking down 10 pins that are 15 inches high and approximately 4.7 inches in diameter.

The sport of bowling can be traced back to the 3rd century. The sport of bowling was said to have originated in the German church. Frequently parishioners set up a Kegel (a type of club) to represent a sinner, and then roll a rock into it in an effort to knock it down. If a parishioner knocked the Kegel over, then the sinner was without sin. The game eventually moved from the church and into a popular sport among the general population.
