Champion Sports Bowling Set with Plastic Pins

I purchased this bowling set for my 5 year old granddaughter for her week long visit to our lake house over the Easter holiday. She, as well as all the adults, loved this bowling set. The bowling ball, with several different holes enabled her, as well as all of the adults, to fit her hand comfortably so she could roll the ball to knock down the bowling pins. The ball's weight was heavy enough to knock down the pins but allowed her to comfortably lift and roll the ball. The weight of the ball is also substantial enough in weight to allow adults to enjoy bowling with her or with other adults. The only negative is that someone has to set up the pins again after each person bowls. Luckily our granddaughter loved setting up the pins again in the provided template. I would recommend filling the pins with sand if you will be bowling on a softer surface such as grass. We bowled outdoors on our large cement covered patio allowing us to bowl regardless of the weather. Although we did not bowl inside our house I would not hesitate to use this bowling set indoors also. The game was extremely enjoyable to our granddaughter and all of us adults. All the pins and the bowling ball were high quality and the set came with the template and the score cards. I highly recommend this bowling set for purchase!

I would say these are somewhere between a 4 and 5 star rating. The reason I rounded up and went with 5 stars instead of 4 is because of the price. I think for the price these are really good. The ball is a really good strong rubber material tha should last a long time. The pins are a fairly heavy plastic, but could probably be just a little bit thicker and maybe just a little bit heavier too. They are weighted, but not as much as I thought they would be. I wasnt expecting them to weigh as much as a real wood bowling pin, but they just dont seem to have a lot of weight to them. Almost feels like maybe the weight in the bottom is just from having an extra thick bottom layer of plastic. Like I said, the plastic for the pins is decent, but can easily be smashed in if accidentally stepped on. You could smash them in with your hands too if you really tried. So they will hold up well I think to regular use from the heavy rubber ball hitting them and the pins hitting each other, but they definitly wouldnt hold up to kids accidentally stepping on them or falling on them, etc... But that is more on the product owner to take care of them versus it being a bad product for the money.

Fun set. It is a lot of work too keep setting up, but fun to play bowling! The ball is latex, beware if allergic.

We play hallway bowling and the residents love it. The ball is a thick rubber and made well. Pins have sand in them but not too much to make them too heavy. Overall, great item and I recommend for families, parties, churches, work groups, etc.

I would have loved this item but bought it with a package of sand as it said I could fill it with sand to make them more stable and more like real pins but there is nowhere to put in the sand without drilling a large hole. Then how do I stop the sand from coming out?

The pins are not weighted when the set arrives. You have to remove the cap from the top of the pins to weigh them down with sand or whatever you choose. The ball is nicely weighted. My bowling set was well packaged and organized. I waited a long to order this. I'm glad I caught the sale and purchased it. Can't wait to challenge my family members to a game.

This is a nice set. More expensive than I would’ve wanted though. The ball is hollow but it has some weight to it. Pins are kind of light. It’s a good set. Just more money than it should be

Our church needed to buy extra bowling pins for Sparks at AWANA and I was happy with the quality of these pins. They have the same height and weight of the AWANA pins and even come with 2 orange pins that we can use for the middle of the AWANA circle. These pins are durable and fun to compete with for our church kids. Highly recommended if your church does AWANA and you need another set of pins.
