At the end of the board (1) behind the skittles (4) is a runway (3) which slopes towards the front of the board (1) so that the ball automatically returns to the player. At the front of the board an upright pots (6) is fixed to fit into a bore in a device (5) consisting of a sloping runway which can be turned round the post to aim the runway at the skittle. At the device's base the bore is widened to take a compression spring (9) which holds the device (5) at a distance (10) from the board (1). A hand grip (7)is fixed to each side of the device so that when the ball (12) is placed in a roun depression (11) at the top of the runway (14)the device can be pushed downwards against the spring (9).
