Yeah, growing up in new england, long time ago in a suburban nightmare far far away. Such little balls.

I haven't gone candle pin bowling in years. Duckpin is much better.

220ish average.

Back in high school (many many years ago) we used to recieve the new england sports network on our satellite dish and I used to watch it on TV all the time. I've always wanted to try it but have never had the opportunity.
I'm a decent regular bowler (high 180's average), but would like to try both candlepin and duckpin.

duckpin? where do you live, ct or ri?

i grew up with candlepins in mass - once in a while we'd go "regular bowling" (there were only a couple of places to do it near me) - we called it "going big balls" lol
duckpins are a hoot - the bands around the middle of the pins make them fly around like a pinball machine

nope never....

nope, candlepins look like - well - candles.
duckpins look sort of like "regular" bowling pins but they're short and squat.
and the balls for duckpins are a little larger and heavier than candlepin balls.
also, with candlepins the dead pins aren't cleared off the alley between balls - with duckpins, there is a "sweeper thing" that comes from the side of the alley to clear the dead wood between balls.
