Interesting. A good introduction to five pin bowling, which I didn't know anything about until today.

[@Nicksolo85]

I tried Canadian 5 pin bowling at a mall in St. Catherine's, ON when my Dad took us up there when I was 14. It definitely felt different from the traditional 10 pin bowling we have here in the United States, but I was definitely able to jump in quickly & I had a lot of fun doing it. I kept saying I'd like to go to Canada again to try 5 pin bowling some day. If we go to that same mall in St. Catherine's, ON, I'll try it again if that mall (I don't remember the name of it, but thank you in advance whoever does know the name) still has it.

What do you think of U.S. east coast Duck Pin Bowling or Candle Pin Bowling ?

[@Nicksolo85]

@@Jay-vr9ir I've never tried either of those, but I would like to. Where are those variations used? I think I remember hearing MA & OH use duckpin, but I might be wrong. In at least the section of NY state I live in, we just have the basic 10-pin bowling.

@@Nicksolo85 Very far away in New England , I know some people that have never heard of 5 Pin , Duck PIn or Candle Pin , laugh at them . But they are great for the elderly , young children and the handicapped .

@@Jay-vr9ir I live in MA, and I’ve played candlepin bowling. It’s a lot of fun actually. The technique is a bit different though when using those small bowling balls.

I’m a duckpin bowler so this is just a variation of duckpin to me. Same ball, and just like shooting spares for me 👍🏻

At my bowling ally u get 3 shots for 5 pin

[@chrisreddy8958]

unless you spare or strike, than you only get 1 per frame for strike and 2 for spare

The Canadian game. Check it out, eh? Completely different feel. The 10 pin bowlers cannot seem to control that little ball that has no holes. It aint as easy as it looks. That little ball is affected by the slightest twitch of the wrist. 5 pin bowling ! Cool.
