"duckpin bowling"の定義と意味

What is "duckpin bowling"?

Duckpin bowling is a variation of traditional ten-pin bowling, played with smaller, squatter pins and a smaller ball. The pins, which are called "duckpins" because of their shape, are shorter and thicker than standard pins, and the ball is smaller, making it easier to handle with one hand. In duckpin bowling, players bowl three times per turn, instead of the usual two in ten-pin bowling. The goal is to knock down as many pins as possible with each roll. The game is popular in some regions of the United States and offers a fun, challenging alternative to traditional bowling.
