Candlepin Bowling

So what is candlepin bowling? Candlepin bowling is unique type of bowling developed in the Eastern United States before the advent of standard tenpin bowling. Unlike tenpin bowling, candlepin bowling uses much smaller balls, & three of them per frame. The pins in candlepin bowling are also much smaller (hence the name), & are not cleared away between a player’s turns as they are in tenpin bowling. Learn more about candlepin bowling here.
