      Don't forget about candlepin bowling. Man, I miss that. I don't get to do that out in Kansas and no one has ever heard of it out here so I sound like an idiot explaining it.

          Candlepin bowling? I know I've heard it and possibly even did it in a league when I was younger, but I forget. What the hell is it?

            Jeez...it's been a long time, but here are the differences I can tell you

            1) The ball is much smaller...about the size of a bocce ball if you've ever played that.

            2) The pins are skinny. There may be more pins, not sure though...I can't remember.

            3) Your scores will be much lower. haha

                No, a lot more pins than that(10). Google it.

                  Wow, I've heard about it before, never played it or seen a place that has had it, but one hell of a way to do scoring! I think I'll stick with the traditional way of bowling.

                    Best ever score:221
                    Best score this year:192(and that was a lucky game, lol)
                    I haven't been bowling much at all this year, have to get back into it. I got a new ball for christmas. It is clear and has a wheel and tire inside of it.

                      I got my first 300 game when I was 13. I got 2 more and multiple 299 and 298s. When I was 15, maybe 16 I came second in the state for junior bowling. I used to bowl between 20-30 games a week, now I bowl about 3 games every other week. I still average between 205-225 depending on what league I sub for.

                        lol i thought candelpin was a northern thing. its all they do in new england.

                        candlepin is similar to "regular" bowling except they don't clear the fallen pins between the first and second rolls on the same frame, the balls are smaller (about the size of a grapefruit..they are palmed and thrown as opposed to sicking fingers/thumbs into the balls [yes i realize how many sexual references are in this post but please try and stay focused]) and the pins are shaped differently than regular bowling.

                          my best ever game was a 136 which was really funny cause i beat my friend(who was on the school bowling team) by 6 pins after i had been down 50 pins in the 5th frame

                          it was so funny that i still to this day have the score sheet
                          im andy my friend was lindsey


                          Remember if "the" and "and" are spelled right its not a genuine Ahuhn post
