Candlepin Bowling
The candlepin game was introduced in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1890. It was created by a billiard-room owner, Justin P. White, and a Billiard expert John J. Monsey. Mr. Monsey was convinced that bowling should not be all big balls and big pins, and it was his idea that a smaller ball and pin would be more appropriate for the temperaments and physical make-up of many bowlers.
The first candlepin was 11 inches high and tapered to an inch in diameter at either end. The ball was made of wood, weighed about 2 pounds and was 3 inches in diameter. The lanes were the same as the tenpin alleys. From the 60-foot distance the slender pins looked like the candles on a birthday cake, and that is how they got their name.
Since the pins were set up as in the regulation tenpin game, their slimness made the distance between them greater. That, combined with the small size of the ball, would have made the game too difficult if the creators had not thought of a counteracting feature. They decided to make all fallen pins, or deadwood, playable as long as the pins remained on the playing area.

Candlepin Bowling Candlepin bowling, commonly referred by many as "small ball bowling", is a New England staple of entertainment as unique as the area itself. Although there are similarities to ten pin bowling, candlepin bowling is a game of accuracy and power. Candlepin balls range between 2 lbs 4 oz and 2 lbs 7 oz and can be easily rolled by people of all ages. Bumper Bowling "Bumpers" are a bowling aid that prevents balls from entering the gutter for the first 50 feet of a lane. This feature allows novice players the opportunity to knock pins down on virtually every ball, enhancing the bowling experience. Bumpers are available by request.

Candlepin Bowling!
November 29, 2005 @ 11:33 am
So I get back to work and what do I find in my inbox, but the schedule for the 2005-2006 Faculty Club Candlepin Bowling League! My team is the Velocirappers and my first game is today at 4 pm. Awesome!
For those of you not native to the East, candlepin bowling is like regular bowling but different. The pins are taller and narrower, and the bowling balls fit in the palm of your hand. This website explains it pretty well. I haven't been candlepin bowling in 20 years, so this should be an interesting afternoon.

so fun! are you really the velocirappers not the velociraptors? is there a pun i'm missing? (see, the velocirappers are a rapper sword team in mass. perhaps you can join them, too!) do you get team bowling shirts? jammies said on November 29, 2005 @ 11:46 am I knew I forgot to ask the important questions, like what the hell our team name means! I lucked out with team placement though, I am on a team with Admissions and Financial Aid officers, all in their 20s. On the team we played against, I don't think there was a single member under 60. But they cleaned our clocks. Candlepin bowling is harder than I remembered, I only rolled a 66. Nick Baker said on November 30, 2005 @ 9:32 pm
