I feel like I'm watching inter-dimensional cable and stumbled across something like bowling as we know it, but not quite.

First time seeing this style of bowling. I am 50 years old.

@@collectibles4u i used to bowl candlepin alot, i was in 2 leagues for many years 70's, 80's and into the 90's. my average only got to 105 which is decent for this sport. it's a tuff game with the small balls and skinny pins and the scores and averages are nowhere near tenpin. it's almost as hard as golf to be consistent at.

@@gr8t1bobo i think you would like it. so the balls, pins and even the lane is different. the lane is still 60' from foul line to headpin but maple all the way not like tenpin which is maple and then transitions to pine after10' and no oil pattern to deal with. you get 3 shots at the rack of ten, a strike is still a strike and a spare is a spare and scored the same as big ball bowling and if you're still shooting after 2 balls the third ball would be for pin count. the scores are no where near big ball bowling and a good league bowler average is 90 to low 100's, the pros average in the 120's. strikes are not as frequent and a perfect 300 game in this sport has never happened. a perfect score in this would be nothing less than a ten in every box. you'll also notice that the fallen pins remain on the deck as long as they remain behind the deadwood line and that helps or can hinder a spare or ten count conversion. the deadwood line is just in front of the headpin spot. unfortunately the sport is dying off due to lack of interest , real estate land values and covid is not helping. the league i was recently in was mostly old guys like me, the young people have other thing yo do i guess.

Reminds me of Saturdays when my grandfather watched candlepin matches. I don’t think anyone in that alley other than the bowlers is less than 70 years old.

Honestly, this is a foreign concept in all of the places of the USA where I lived. I take it that it is a New England or Mid-Atlantic variant of bowling?

This is so awesome! I love when they use the fallen pins or "woods" to their advantage for a spare. That should be in regular bowling. It'll be me more fun🤙

never seen or heard of this. its amazing! heard of and seen duck pins, but this is cool too. cheers!

Looks like a hybrid of ten pin and the 9 pin skittles that is played in pubs in my part of the UK.

after Phil defeated Dave Dupuis minutes before this match there was an issue with the T.V lights and it took like 30 minutes to fix so they told Phil and Dave to throw a warm up string a few lanes away lol Phil threw a 186 warm up game. i think if there was no issue with the lights Phil would have bowled a lot better than what he did.

It was to slow them down a bit to fill the hour time slot. There are many occasions when a slower than usual second string put them back to alternating lanes in the third string.

At first you're all like this is like old timey bowling then 5 minutes later you're completely invested on who is going to win and you want to play yourself.

If Phil wouldn't throw so hard he would be able to take down more pins. Just punching right on through doesn't give you much effort to take them down.
