[@peteg475]

The game is all straight line speed and angles, and understanding the physics of how live wood can help or hurt you converting shots. Love it.

[@goodwolfproject6850]

you can still curve it, but the adjustments are so subtle it's crazy.

[@gregory8384]

Would love to see the whole house do a candle pin tournament

[@william1919]

What I would like to see. Is a Pro candle pin bowler bowl with you. Then have candle pin bowl tin pin with.

[@atbsigma]

Either that or just pro vs pro 1v1!

[@ScooterMcGavin22]

Being from Central MA, I thought ten pin bowling was so strange until I tried it in my teens. My grandmother (New England candlepin champion) is rolling in her grave knowing how obsessed I am with ten pin bowling now. If you say you're going bowling in NE, you're going candlepin

[@TheHouseBowling]

Yessir!!

[@Vyselink]

Agree. I grew up in Southern NH and "bowling" was always candlepin.

[@MLR2064]

Love Candlepin bowling. Played it for years when we lived in NH. It’s all about straight and hard shots. You must rely on pin action because they are 1 foot apart from each other. No Hooking the ball because there is no oil on the lanes.

[@aw-stk]

It's like throwing the core of a bowling ball 😆 🤣.

[@GhostofKaiser]

AJ Chapman, eat your heart out. Packy taking only the 6 pin back was *amazing.* Challenge, Packy: one game of candlepin/duckpin, then do a regular 10 pin game and see how screwed up everything is.

[@millsdjr]

That was awesome Packy, I love watching Candle Pin bowling. Think it would be torture to try it though LOL

[@TheHouseBowling]

I loved every moment of it!

[@RobertoFernandez-dy7hi]

Looks so much fun! Great vid, Packy!!! Ooh! How about having a Candlepin "BANG BANG" challenge with The House vs. Brad & Kyle? 😊

[@smacktherack]

Loved Maddie’s short answers when the score was close. That’s the type of competitor I am…don’t ask me questions until I’m winning. Glad you got a win on the channel. We were starting to fear that you were too gracious of a host.

[@thebigeasy8609]

Never played candle pin but it did seem pretty cool with the live wood scenarios. Also I'm glad to see Maddie let you win. Your confidence needed it!

[@chinrest1]

My dad once bowled a 186 in his league. It would have been around 1966, and at an alley in Dorchester. He told me that lots of people started to gather around in the later frames because he was on such a tear.

[@chuckontal9962]

Love that he is still doing the hop step from his two handed approach

[@ap70621]

Not going to lie, candlepin looks very difficult.

[@thatoneaxe681]

If I remember correctly, to this day there has been no official record of a perfect game in candlepin

[@mikesoct82484]

I think high game for candlepin is 245

[@psamms]

Bowled candlepin most of my life, love watching the PBA guys try it. Entirely different worlds!

[@mattfukuda1223]

Great stuff Packy...looked pretty tough...Happy Holidays to you and your family!!

[@Rep2369]

You can use the deadwood in the gutters but the ball cannot contact it. If you hit another pin into it then it's fine but if you hit a pin fully in the gutter with the ball first you get 0 pinfall for that roll

[@janderson8401]

I’ve bowled duckpins a few times. First time I went was with my friend Jeff who was at that time a PBA member. We had his sons with us and the manager gave us a bit of a tour so we got to see how the pin setters worked.

[@yankiwi8829]

Grew up in MA. Bowled in both Ten & Candle pins leagues on separate nights. Used 5 step approach in both which proved as a hinderance in Candle pin (3 step ideal). Was better than average at both but wasn't great at either. My highest yearly averages were 187 & 105 (best in house was 195ish & 120ish). This was long before reactive balls were invented & a 16lb black hammer ruled.

[@freeekychiiild4765]

That's really cool!!! I've always wanted to try candle and duck pin bowling!!! Great video!!

[@RobertBrownieX]

My brother and I went on vacation to Boston in 2014 and visited a candle pin center... it was an experience lol. If I remember correctly we shot between 78 and 117. WAY HARDER than regular bowling!

[@mikelombard21]

I grew up playing candlepin and it's so tough. Still fun a much more challenging game.

[@chrisa6419]

Skipped a lot of school back in the 80s rolling candlepin at academy bowl in bridgewater...judging by the decor you're in my neck of the woods

[@cybersteel8]

Man what a weird bowling system! That looks so hard with the pins being so far apart and so narrow. And with tiny balls! The live wood mechanic is awesome to make up for it, and NO OIL?!?! This feels straight out of the 60s XD Love it, that was fun and so unique to watch

[@johncassani6780]

I spent most of my youth in a candlepin bowling alley, and I thought this was great. They best I averaged for a season was about 114, which isn’t bad, but the best bowlers average 125 and up. There are great scoring variations between bowling alleys, which occur do to differences in the quality of the rubber side walls, the plate on which the pins stand, and the liveliness of the pins, which wanes over time. Back in the ‘60s and ‘70s, practically everyone in the Boston area bowled in a league, but the sport has fallen on very hard times over the last 30 years. It was great to see you bowling with a small ball!

[@DaringOne]

I grew up watching candlepin bowling on my parents' satellite dish on NESN. Always wanted to play it, and was always fascinated by it!

[@Vyselink]

13:40 the Peanuts theme! I can just imagine Charlie Browne missing the football.

[@somdable]

The sound of wood lanes is sooooo much better than synthetic lanes

[@MotivGuy94]

So...i absolutely understand why everyone loves the wood lane sound... but I've always for some reason liked synthetic sound better, but this is also coming from a guy who Hates the smell of commonly liked stuff like fresh cut grass and wood.

[@TitayniumH2]

Super enjoyable video!! I’ve never been candlepin but it looks fun.

[@kevinrussell5099]

Really tough game! Wife and I played a few games at the fun center in Laconia NH a few years ago. Averaging over 200 in regular bowling is what I do; averaging 90 in candlepins in much harder!

[@jonathanmosebach2921]

2 rules of Candlepin, once a piece of deadwood is in the gutter it's a non-hittable piece, and any pins that you knock down, are not allowed! And number 2, if your ball goes into the gutter and then comes back and knocks down pins, those pins don't count either!

[@LincolnL]

Number 2 is for regular bowling aswell

[@bobmiller1973]

That was hilarious. I grew up in the Washington, DC area and only bowled duckpins until I moved to Illinois as an adult. I've never seen candlepins except on KZbin. Definitely hard to master.

[@kcazzo4906]

Less Packy and more of your sister.

[@cr2822]

I’ve always wanted to try candlepins. I grew up with duckpins. I’d also like to see you both try duckpins as a challenge.

[@sirvenomik]

still got that 2 handed hop love it

[@georgefinneyiv3922]

That was super cool to watch!

[@Christian-qu6yv]

5:30 That's actually impressive 😅 But cool video. Never been duck bowling or candle bowling, looks fun tho

[@jeffromaine142]

Your sister is hilarious...adorable...and has a nice little mean streak in her. This was a lot of fun to watch.

[@goodwolfproject6850]

6:25 I love the Fred Flintstone approach... just missed going to the approach on your tiptoes lol

[@carlnelson3893]

I lived in NH for a couple years and enjoyed the bowling scene up there, I did do 2 candle pin leagues and reg bowling, loved it. but move to Alaska and there is very little going on here.... lol

[@itsnotme07]

Bowling candlepin always messed up my ten pin routines. Nothing organized about "chuck it down the lane". No oil and lumpy balls.....no wonder the thing never really hooks unless you remove speed. Didn't know there was another Candlepin place so close to Boston Bowl.

[@madsnarerbrian]

These other variants of bowling look like so much fun. The jr pro shop channel did a 5-pin video not too long ago and that version looks like fun too.

[@tdub5693]

We see where all the looks went between the kids lol great video.

[@runnerboy6886]

Is candlepin bowling basically just a carnival game? Lmao

[@yabbaguy]

South Boston Bowl is fantastic, I ought to go more often. Great video! Those skinny pins don’t make it easy.

[@BuzzsawBrent]

I loved it! Sibling rivalry at its finest! 🤬

[@mpup54]

[@rickmorty8697]

Love this.

[@shawnhaas5158]

You need to come down to Guadalupe county Texas, and try the 9 pin bowling we do here. It's a whole different world you need to see it and experience it.

[@TheHouseBowling]

I’ve heard stories!

[@jayminer8773]

There's a duckpin alley in Danbury, Connecticut. Been there a handful of times, most recently around 2003, I think. Duckpin (and watching the PBA on ABC in the 80's) is what started my love for the sport.

[@chasbari]

I watch the old matches from decades past on a channel here on YT. Spent time in Mass with my family during the Cuban Missile Crisis so I guess that's where I got my interest. The pros in candle pin have much different mechanics.. typically a three step approach with much more speed. Miss by a fraction and you go from a nine drop or strike to a spread eagle or a half Worcester left or right.

[@peteg475]

Part of Packy's problem is he's using his normal approach/armswing as a tenpin bowler. In candlepins you're supposed to straighten your arm and muscle the shot - he's so not used to muscling it because he's a tenpin bowler, that he doesn't have enough mustard on his candlepin throws. He's gotta throw it harder and straight, and he's not used to those mechanics at all.

[@nordattack]

This looks like a ton of fun!

[@VelvetStewRacing]

Awesome game to the both of you!

[@burnttoest]

Candlepin Bowling, was big up here in the North East. Pins that fall are called dead wood and can be used. Great vid

[@kevinkarp5127]

have never candlepin bowled before but would love to - in astern NYS so really not that far from a house in MA, just need to get there

[@machinethesun9243]

Packy, get the dinosaur and roll it down the middle. That was great though, fun to watch, have never seen that before. Fun seeing your sister too, she's funny.

[@cdcace78]

Duck-Duck > Goose! That's what I Like about this Channel, Lots of Variety and Loads of fun. 😄 You should do a Post on the Big-Four Split Challenge in 48 lanes. Once again as always thanks for the great content. 👍

[@sholter]

Grew up outside of Boston. I didn't know about 10-pin bowling until I was a teenager since my hometown only had a Candlepin house. I live in Seattle now and love showing people old candlepin tv show highlights.

[@peteg475]

Same. I bowl at Westgate which has both kinds. The best kind of house to bowl at.

[@sholter]

@@peteg475 I loved bowling tournaments at Westgate!

[@raymondsteadii6510]

Literally the funniest video

[@darkheartx100]

I've never had the chance to bowl candle pin but I have bowled duck pin. Really fun. An interesting challenge for what feels like familiar territory.

[@timscott178]

that was awesome - i have only gone candlepin bowling once it was a lot of fun and really damn hard. you should go duckpin bowling next since you are around the area of candlepin/duckpin . nice win and maddy is awesome

[@SteveSmith-mx1bu]

Definitely more challenges

[@clowny2396]

Great show!

[@danielm428]

I like how Packy still wore the Genesis K-motion tape for this lol

[@spaceboi0747]

That super bowl picture on the wall XD

[@VolatilityTrading27]

Imagine having to bring your sister onto the channel to get a win! hahaha!

[@rkerver3]

That looks like some good ol fun

[@andyward8062]

Balls that enter the gutter negate any score on that ball. The deadwood (what you're call live-wood), must come to a stop before rolling again.

[@RVAPatsFan]

I grew up in South Boston and spent many Saturday afternoons at the South Boston Bowlarama in the 1970s. Cost used to be 3 strings and shoes for $1. By the way, if your ball goes in the gutter, any pins you knock down are not scored. My high single was 161 and high triple was 416.

[@kristenanderson5273]

Wow, candlepin bowling is harder than it looks. I have yet to try it.

[@peteg475]

It's fun. i grew up with it.

[@city6291]

Candlepin looks very cool, wish they had it in st Louis haha, very fun stuff

[@bobbybooey4948]

man we had an AMF house in Florida that had 8 lanes of duck pin bowling. Used to love duck pin bowling. Found 3 balls. Still have them. Wish they still had some here

[@bradhaughton6698]

Do more videos with this particular type of bowling with your other guys I want to see a challenge.

[@kenlivingstone7449]

Packy you have to try 5 pin bowling. Would be a fun video to watch.

[@caseyjones7552]

looks like fun, no one does candlepin bowling around this area.

[@biIIyball]

Like others that have commented I also grew up with candlepin bowling and have fond memories of it. But took up tenpin about 10 years ago and haven't looked back.

[@timnelson832]

Candlepin bowling is tough! I've only done it once when I was a junior bowler, a house out here in California had it for a while like 20+ years ago. But yeah, it's definitely more of a northeast coast thing for sure.

[@mikeforest8405]

oh I think I had heard about those lanes in Cali. Where was that located?

[@comppyboy98]

Candlepin bowler here. Great to see it getting some coverage. Next time you're around, let me know! Can introduce you to some "pros". We love seeing ten pin guys come try it out!

[@TylerOBrien7719]

Lot of “pros” candlepin is a fun and difficult game but if your tought the mechanics for it, its pretty straight forward.

[@J002]

This is something I always wanted to try. And I wanted to try the version in Germany as well called Kegel

[@MichaelSmith-ig8bw]

Growing up in Mass, bowled candlepin since around 5 years old. There's tons of really good candlepin action on KZbin. Saturday at noon, most of Boston watched a candlepin show on tv for more than 30 years. It's part of Boston sports history. Our own little game. Duckpin was kind of southern Mass, RI, and mid Atlantic. Pins fly in duckpin. Candlepin can be frustrating, right Packy?

[@drwisdom1]

Those weeny balls weren't made to hook so you won't be able hook with any consistency. You have to stand on the left and angle it to the pocket like before the advent of hooking balls. I laughed when Packy nailed the 7 pin on the first shot. I love the way you still have to hand score.

[@chuggaaconroyjr.]

I would like to see Packy try to bowl a 250 throwing backup balls

[@cruise2023]

Easy to see who's the better looking out of you two 🙂Go girl.

[@mrbooradley2811]

I thought you were gonna throw it two handed 1st time you went 😂😂😂

[@kyleoncken114]

If y’all ever make it towards San Antonio need to get y’all set up to bowl 9-pin.

[@williamrobinson714]

I think one of my proudest bowling achievements is getting gutter-spare followed by a strike in candlepin, I grew up on candlepin before transitioning to 10 pin, I think my high game was like a 100 or 110, but it has been so long I cannot remember

[@Frostecy]

This game is so weird 🤣🤣

[@bradhaughton6698]

I'm very curious to see if New York has one of these type of bowling alleys this one is very interesting

[@umbra9273]

Duckpin would be fun to watch as a challenge

[@gordonfanronmurray5993]

That e was very r entertaining!!!

[@davidcokley1929]

I've shot duck pin a time or two, but never candle pin. IMHO duck pin should be slightly easier because the duck pins bounce around more than candle pins. The house I used to bowl at had 10 duck pin lanes and the rest were 10 pin lanes, but they got rid of the duck pins a long time before I started bowling. Also, the duck pin lanes used phenolic pin decks which made it interesting when you bowled 10 pin on those lanes.

[@johnvarela3680]

Where do they have these lanes I wanna try this

[@joshuaglaude1549]

I've only seen candle pin bowling in northeast. Duck pin too for that matter. But people across the country seem to at least have heard of duck pin bowling. I mention candle pin and they look at me like I'm dumb

[@mattylou1969]

I want to try this!

[@garthrapp8143]

I definitely like the idea of you bowling against a pro candlepin bowler... Getting tips and whatnot throughout... That'd be fun... Then maybe they can bowl you in typicle 10 pin, and the total pins between the 2 wins....

[@fishgutz4272]

I didn't bowl 10 pin until I served in the USAF. All candle pin growing up. I've only done candle pin once in the over 40 since leaving home for bootcamp.

[@thomastaylor6511]

speed control is essential when bowling candle pins
