Candlepin Bowling is the hardest form of bowling, found in the New England area of the US, as well as the Canadian Maritimes. Using tall skinny 15.75" pins and a 4.5" bowling ball, this game will test your skill. This is real bowling for people on the east coast, many growing up not ever playing Tenpin. A 300 game has never been achieved in Candlepin although it is possible. The highest score ever recorded for a single game is 245. Pro bowlers average between 115-130 per game, while recreational bowlers usually score in the 60-80 range per game.
