five-pin

Smaller pins, fewer

Five-pin is a Canadian form of bowling using five pins arranged in a V pattern rather than the ten pins of standard bowling.

The ball is smaller and lighter, fitting in the palm without finger holes.

Each pin has a different point value, with the center pin worth most: We played five-pin at the alley downtown.
