If you can't hold one of your oversized balls with the fingerholes, then
my advice about candlepin bowling makes even more sense.

-------------------------------

Candlepin bowling has been credited as being introduced in the late
1800's in Worchester, Massachusetts. Being a MA native, going
"bowling" to us as kids was always candlepin. I never saw a 10 pin
alley until I was much older.

I've done both over the years but still much prefer candlepin.



My two girl cousins from the North Shore cleaned my clock in candlepin
bowling every time we went to visit them up there when I was a kid and
went to the bowling alley. It's tough.
