1993 Candlepin Bowling Championship - Part 2

1993. What a year, as it was probably one of the best years in my life when it came to Candlepin bowling. This was shot at Pilgrim Lanes in August of 1993, and the top 5 bowlers competing were: Al Johnson, Craig Holbrook, Jeff Atkins, Brian McKinley, and Tom Olszta.

Here is part 2 of the 1993 Channel 5 Candlepin Bowling Championship Show. Enjoy! :)

I dont get why you guys have to hate on eachother? both are very hard if you dont practice. Candlepin requires great accuracy while ten-pin needs a mix of spin and power. I love both and think you should rag until you are great at both.

No one seems to realize that Ten Pin is so much easier to score in. The amount of 300 games today in ten pin is ridiculous. There has NEVER been a 300 game in candlepin. Scoring is what counts in the end which is why in my opinion candlepin is much more fun because the scoring is low and it's very hard to really bring an average up by a lot.

heheh think I finaly know what "half wisker" means. Must mean your just a "half wisker" off the pocket, so you go from a possible strike to just getting 2 pins.

It's actually called the Half "Worcester", which is a major city in Massachusetts :P

I like watching this game cause not only it is challenging but it's exciting as well and these guys that play the game are veterans of what they love to do.

@semtex2you In Candlepin Bowling, if a ball makes contact with the floor after it crosses the lob line, it's considered a foul.

If the pins are knocked down as a result of a lob in a first ball, the bowler could be forced to reset and loses a ball.

However, if a Bowler lobs in his/her second or third ball in a frame, any pins knocked down resulting from a lob will not count. In addition, the Bowler will not be allowed to reset the pins.

@HalifaxChagnon When I was living in Nova Scotia, I used to play Candlepin Bowling occassionally. Its definitely a hard Bowling variation to play.

Is there any reason for a lob line in this game? In both 10 and 5-pins, lofting the ball out further gives you better accuracy.

lets throw them overhand.lol

Unfortunately around my parts ten pin is all you get if if you like to bowl. So, I'm stuck. In ten pin there are alot of miss hit strikes and lucky strikes, but there is still the challenge of keeping good form and consistency with your shot. Wish there was candlepin around in florida. Would also like to try my hand at duckpin bowling too.

Not anyone can Tenpin bowl....trust me I've seen some horrible tenpin bowlers.

But....I know I could never do this. I would hurt myself seriously if I tried. Probalby hurt the masking units, and pinsetters too lol
