Pins

Our Gloucestershire style pins measure 10 inches high and are made in Britain.

The pins are turned from Beech, Sycamore or Rubberwood- timber that will deteriorate over time by denting rather than splitting. Ideally they should be rubbed down with an linseed oil rag at the end of each session. They are suitable both for fun and for serious skittling.

Some leagues require 4 7/8 inch balls but 5 inch balls are typical for 4.5 and 5 inch diameter pins. For the 4 inch pins, use 4.5 inch balls. Pins may be made from more than one piece of bonded timber. Please refer to our Timber Quality Statement.

Balls

Competitive skittlers have for centuries prefered to use balls made from the traditional wood, Lignum Vitae, a tropical hardwood which is extremely hard, very heavy and also self-lubricating.

Some leagues prefer hard rubber which is heavier, takes longer to wear out the pins and is also more environmentally friendly. The balls here are pink to reduce marking of the alley.

Lignum Vitae has become increasingly difficult to obtain and it seems clear that soon it will be impossible to buy any at all. As an alternative to Lignum, we have balls made from a black phenol resin composite. These are similar to the material used to make modern lawn bowls - the weight and density are deliberately similar to Lignum Vitae. They have been used by serious pubs and league players successfully for many years.
