This last technique is called "tipping" and this form of the game The nine wooden skittles are ten inches high and shaped like a stunted cigar, with the diameter in the middle being typically 4.5 inches and the diameter at the ends about 3 inches. Balls are traditionally made from heavy wood (nowadays rubber or resin) and any size greater than a tennis ball and less than a cannonball can be used (five inches diameter should be about right). A full size Skittles alley is usually around six feet wide and normally made of wood although other surfaces can be used. The distance from the throwing line to the front skittle is not usually less than 24 feet but in some areas can be significantly more than 30 feet. Sometimes one of the pins, known as a kingpin, is slightly larger than the others - it's position would normally be in the middle or at the front.

Teams have always moved around, you'll often see teams named after pubs that are now closed, but there's definitely less pubs with tables now, hence less participation. The food issue has certainly squeezed skittles out of pubs, much more so than in West Country or Long Alley where the game is generally played outdoors or in buildings separate to the pub.
