How much does a regulation bowling pin weigh?
Regulation bowling pin weighs about 1.6 kg (3.5 lb).
📱 That's about the weight of 8 smartphones — or 4 cans of soda 🥤, or 13 bananas 🍌.
At 1.6 kg, it ranks #16 of 26 in Sports (lightest to heaviest) — heavier than Yoga mat (1.1 kg) and lighter than Men's discus (2 kg).
This is a specific, standardized product, so the weight above is an exact figure — not an average across variants.
A pin weighs just under a quarter of the 15 lb ball that knocks it down.
