Question 1

To the Seller:  Your description says "weighted" but all the reviews say otherwise...are they really weighted or not?  Please explain.

Accepted Answer

These are not "weighted", as there is no material added to add extra weight. In fact, they are light for their size, and tip over very easily, which knocks them all down which is loud on a hard floor. This item is hollow plastic and tip over too easily. Every hit will be a strike every single time.

Question 2

Are these pins weighted? Or just empty, light plastic?

Accepted Answer

They are not weighted, but not flimsy plastic either.   But here's what we did to solve the weight problem.  There is a stopper in top of each pin.  We drilled out the hole a bit, and I used a funnel to pour in 1/2 cup of fish tank gravel into each one. Sand would work too.  Then, I used the funnel and a soup ladel, and poured in a ladel full of house paint into each one.  Put on a plastic glove to cover the hole with my finger, gave each one a good shake, and let them sit in the cabinet for a month or so.  The air dried the paint through the open hole.  The paint hardened like a rock, holding the gravel in the bottom of each pin.  Viola!  Weighted pins.

Question 3

How much would these weigh if filled up with all sand?

Accepted Answer

They are lightweight but  heavy enough to stand on their own light enough to be hit with a sponge light bowling ball that I bought for the bowling pins. specifically easy for kids to pick up and move around. I think it’s a fun indoor game that you can play and easy for the kids to learn how to bowl and keep score.

Question 4

No ball?

Accepted Answer

We had to order ball separately.  We also had to fill the bowling pins with play sand. They were too lightweight without sand.
