“Gym bowling,” of course, is not quite the same as bowling on real lanes complete with polyurethane pins and shiny polyurethane balls. The bowling kits the kids used include rubberized bowling balls and very hard rubberized (almost plastic) pins.

That eliminates the distinctive crack a bowling ball makes when it strikes the head pin, as well as the resulting clatter that quickly follows as the ball continues down the lane, crashing through other pins, which in turn collide with still more pins.  Full Story
