WHAT WILL I SHOOT? | Candlepin Ball vs. Tenpin Bowling Pins

What happens when you throw a Candlepin ball against a set of tenpin bowling pins?! That's about 37 pounds of pins vs. maybe 3 pounds of ball. This should be fun, what will I bowl for a full game?!?!

Loved how you wiped the ball off after each shot 😂

[@suttonsplash14]

yesssss lmaoooo

[@weevie833]

After bowling tenpins for 38 years, I switched to candlepins. It's a completely different sport - nothing I knew about tenpin bowling and delivery worked at all for candlepins. I basically had to relearn how to bowl, both physically and mentally. You have to deal with shooting under 100 and throwing NO MARKS for an entire game sometimes, with 6 splits. Brutal. Strikes? Forget it. You might get ONE per night.

This is so funny!! This guy is fun!!

[@Notconceitedjustbetterthanyou]

@@Pend2027ok nobody asked or cares

[@michaeljavier2678]

This was a fun video. Your spirit thru out ten frames, got me cheering! Much Mahalo Nick

[@plamormick]

You have to complete the hat-trick by bowling against Candle pins with a big ball. I've always wanted to try that!

[@brunsnick]

That’s up next! I have the pins ready.

[@plamormick]

@@brunsnick If it goes well, you might invite Dasha for a fun 1 vs 1

[@justinc0336]

Was looking for a comment like this. I’ve always wondered how a regular ball would do with candle pins.

[@ColemanMulkerin]

"Why more PBA pros are moving to 3 lb bowling balls"

[@edb3877]

That was hilarious! Micro-ball vs. Mega-pins. lol You mentioned having only 1 ball. 2 would be better for each frame.

[@erikthorstensen5185]

Try our game once. Like all small ball bowling. Candlepin especially is much more difficult than ten pin. My candlepin average is around 113. The pros average 125-135. There has never been a 300 game, ever. We in the candlepin community would love to see the PBA televise their pro take on our pros,maybe during their Maine events.

[@GrumpaBaggins]

Definitely might want to try some surface on that thing. 😅

[@randymelissabutton2159]

Looks like fun!!🤣😂🙃

[@user-gt1wr1vh3i]

It is silly but entertaining. Good to see you are having fun. Thanks .

[@KingOfTVBowling]

😂 This is great! The colors kinda look like the Max Bias

[@gwencrawford737]

The candlepin ball weight is a shade over 2 pounds. You want to go down and in... basically a rocket to the pocket from 1 to 17 1/2 to give yourself the best chance. It's a game of toppling the pins, and doing it in a way that keeps the ball in the pack of pins rather than banking to the channel. When I was a little girl... too little really to do anything but two-hand chuck an 8 pounder on a regulation lane, my father used to take my sister and I to a community rec center, that had the OLD lanes, with full sized pins, and the old manual-actuated pin spotters. For kicks, my dad got a couple of the "ball bowler" machine balls, from a friend of his who owned an arcade machine business, and that's what we'd use. That wound up being 1 pound balls vs the 37 pounds of pins at the rack. Dad could set the pins for us, and sis and I would have a blast trying to knock the pins down, while developing our 4 step approaches. The lanes were never oiled or cared for all that well, beyond getting dust-mopped every so often. So we started off about 15 feet away, and as we got better and older, we moved back, until we were throwing the full length. Even when we started bowling regularly in the bowling enters with full sized equipment, we'd still visit that rec center as we grew up, until the place closed and got razed for development. So... yeah... I got a lot of experience bowling with a small ball vs a full rack. That's also why I'm VERY good with the straight game and spares. Small ball or full size... I can pick any single pin area of the rack at will. That keeps me in the hunt on a lot of games where other bowlers are struggling.

[@brandonferris8934]

Leave the wood on the deck to make it more like candlepin bowling. And 3 balls per frame!

[@charlespeakjr2168]

That was fun, Nick. I'm glad that you made your goal of breaking 100.🤣🤣

[@MythicSelkie]

Praise youtube alg for recommending this. Been bowling candlepin since i was 4 and also gotten back to bowl standard more and was always curious how a candlepin ball would bounce off normal pins. This was awsome to see.

[@brunsnick]

It’s like hitting a brick wall lol

[@vance836]

This was awesome. Getting to 109 was more than I expected. But quite frankly, I did not expect this video to get done. Glad you did it though because it was entertaining for sure.

[@countrycountry6729]

That was fun to watch. Great video. Ahhh,,,, maybe more surface would help. LOLOL. Excellent job.

[@brunsnick]

Never hurts 😆

[@GrumpaBaggins]

Haven't finished the video yet, but I'm hoping to see that coast to coast!

[@nathannye4048]

You got the thumbs up in the 5th frame! Good shot!

[@HansonBradleyEndrina]

I love the video. When I first try to throw a Candlepin Ball, I throw the ball slowly but increase the ball spin. Hey BrunsNick, have you ever thrown the Brunswick Tenacity before and which bowling balls does this fit between.

[@brunsnick]

It’s been 7 years since Tenacity was out.

[@craigpowers2777]

Maximum legal weight for a candlepin ball is 2 lbs 7 oz. They're commonly sold in either 2-6 or 2-7 weights (though nominal 2-7 balls may be a little lighter, my 2-7 balls weighed in at 2-6.8).

[@danielb5400]

No specto running? 😮

[@joeleypants8837]

BrunsNick, if you ever find yourself in Edmonton Alberta Canada, ill take you 5 pin bowling. Fun fact though, you can hook those balls. That's how I get the 2 corner pins (7 and 10 in 10 pin) and have coached people on how to do it. Maybe I'll record a KZbin video to show the process, though I've been very focused on 10 pin these last 6 months. I even won some money at a torney. You're also holding and throwing the ball wrong. Good effort though!

[@dogelincoln7167]

this is funny to watch the 10 pin approach with a candlepin ball.

[@brunsnick]

@@dogelincoln7167 I don’t know how else to do it 🤣🤣

[@Spare_Parts_Bowling]

i had initially guessed you'd score a 112, then i saw the first frame lol. looks like a lot of fun though

[@brunsnick]

Shoulda thrown a few practice shots first.

[@timscott178]

i was thinking 62 lol nice game for that nonsense hahaha

[@stefandieben1141]

Fun video! 6-7-10 is better then a big four which you would have gotten with a normal sized bowlingball. I beleave with duckpin bowling, speed is key. Next time candlepin! And remember, with candlepin you can throw against deadwood, and three times if i'm not mistaken.

[@garyloomis4961]

😅 dat were funn...nick @

I learned to not use a small ball with full size pins lol. Probable be a good idea to have someone help u so you don't have to walk back and get the ball each time lol.

[@gardendingtipslasvegas]

Nick so funny, no Flare on the ball. You should challenge Dasha to a game. She might not like it but it’s Fun. Paul

[@user-tx1pe4ep6g]

LOL @ toweling the ball off after each shot. old habits die hard?

[@brunsnick]

😆 gotta get the most performance possible ya know

[@GorgonOfZola]

Candlepin is a humbling sport when going from traditional 10 pin. It plays tricks on the eyes until you get used to it. But you never really get used to it. I threw a lot of gutters...it's embarrassing.

[@danielgauthier9885]

They weigh between 2 pounds 5 oz and 2 pounds 7 oz.

[@icecold927]

Nick who you going to challenge to candlepin ball contest with 10 pin bowling pins, mmm maybe duckpins or candlestick pins , can you travel to do your videos, travel to New England states where candlepin lanes are . Love your videos !!!

[@nfttoedipper5015]

I’ll take credit for this video. lol I think you should’ve used candlepin rules and left the dead wood on the lane.

[@rafabonati7757]

I liked what I saw. But why didn’t you try a strike shot from the left side? You were so good from there on your spares!

Didn’t think of it
