Where are these 5pin/candlepin bowling alleys located? I have never see one in my life, and have just learned they are even a sport.

Are they not popular now? or are they more popular in other countries other then US?

I believe 5-pin is very popular in Canada,the pins have rubber inserts on the belly of the pin,creating the amazing pin action.

I went to Windsor to play 5 pin when I was a Senior in high school.  Loads of fun, and super hard.  I had my youth league the next morning too...talk about a weird feeling holding the 10 pin sized rock lol.

From my experience, I believe its a lot harder playing 5 pins bowling.  It tends to leave many splits and really hard to pickup.  I never knew Canada was all over it, I might go check out some on my next trip to Canada.  Nice video though.

Yea the splits are hard to pick up, but since you get 3 shots per frame...the splits become more manageable.  BTW, at the house I bowled at....has been there for many many years..only one perfect game ever...which was a score of 450
