- I challenged my American friend to 5-Pin bowling in Canada which is played with smaller balls! It was his first time ever playing 5-pin and he was so thrown off. We played 10-pin too so we could compare it. Pride is on the line!

He struggled with 5-pin 😅. Which one do you like better??
5 pin. So fun!
10 pin...
i love 5 pin!
Candle-pin bowling
5 pin bowling is the best
Just a story. A number of years ago Edmonton hosted the World Masters Games. 10 pin bowling is an included sport. Us organizers took all the players from around the world to try five pin. No one got it and the laughter was infectious. One of the best nights of my bowling career.
That’s amazing 😂
As a 5 pin Master Bowler in Ontario I have to say, 5 pin is one of the most difficult styles of bowling. glad you got him to try it!
Jason - "Everything I've learned about bowling is wrong"
This is very accurate if you're going from 10 to 5 pin. You're better off approaching the 5-pin ball like it was a skeeball versus a traditional 10-pin ball.
It’s no different than duckpin or candlepin.
@@StephensAmazingTH-camHandle 5-pin is probably easier, only because the pins have rubber waist bands so it's a bit easier to hit your target pin.
@@watson956 One of the guys in my 5 pin league bends the ball like crazy, once or twice he's managed to thread the needle between the head pin and the 3 and hit nothing lol
@@selrockredguy9487 That would be incredible to watch! 🤣🤣🤣
I never knew there was 5 pin bowling… I learned something new!
There is candlepin and duckpin too.
it's the most popular form of bowling in Canada. I played in leagues and tournaments.
They are both fun especially when you 2 characters are playing!! 🤣
😅🙌
In New Brunswick I grew up playing "candle pin" bowling. I would say a cross between 5 pin and 10 pin.... in candle pin there are 10 thinner pins and a small ball like in 5 pin. I've played all 3 styles and I have to say I like the candle pin better! There may be a few places in Ontario with candle pin bowling.... you both have to try it.... even playing field.
We have candle pin in Massachusetts too
Yes, I too am from NB. And this is what I grew up playing. So much fun smashing the 10 Pins with the smaller ball!
BUT HAVE YOU PLAYED SKITTLES?!
As someone who plays 5-pin semi competitively, i love seeing how much traction 5 pin is getting
As a Canadian, even I learned something. I too played 5 pin bowling throughout my life and had no idea it was uniquely Canadian. 5 pin is so much easier for children to play as well. I never liked 10 pin because I have big fingers which required me to use the heaviest ball, which I found harder to control. Anyways, I really enjoyed the video. Thanks.
I never knew it was Canadian as well
For 10 pin they actually do make different sized holes for the same weights. Like they have 10 pound balls with large finger holes. Could be what you’re looking for!
I'm sure they probably do exist for people ordering custom bowling balls or maybe larger American bowling alleys with bigger budgets for buying bowling balls. However, in every Canadian bowling alley I have been to, they haven't. Usually the bigger bowling alleys will have both 10 and 5 pin bowling, so they probably don't have it have a large enough budget to supply the type of bowling ball you described. With my age and the disability I acquired later in life, using the type of bowling ball you described would actually allow me to try and enjoy 10 pin bowling again.
Finger size has nothing to do with ball weight
You can use any weight you want no matter the size of your hand, 10 pin bowling really requires you to get your own ball customized to yourself for you to enjoy it the most I believe
@@BrandoInIowa The center might order a subset of house balls where the finger holes progressively increase in size with the weight of the ball
I enjoy both but I grew up with 5 pin and belonged to a league when I was a kid. Watching this video makes me want to go bowling.
It was funny watching Jason try to bowl 5-pin with the same curve as you use in 10 pin. Im not a bowler, but I was pretty sure that’s not what you want to do.
I’m also really glad he made the Urlington joke at the end.
Where I grew up, we only had 5-pin for the longest time and I remember it being a big deal when one of the lanes got 10 pin as well. A birthday party I was at we did a 10 pin game, and then a 5 pin game and I felt like Superman chucking those tiny balls around after getting used to the 10 pin balls. I’m pretty sure that was my highest score ever.
You can curve or hook the ball in 5 pin just like in 10 pin, but you have to throw the ball slow enough for the rotation to have any effect. I throw my ball really fast in 5 pin, so I don’t have the patience for how long it takes a heavy 10 pin ball to traverse the lane lol.
Not sure how wide spread it is in Ontario, but If you guys ever come east, try Candlepin Bowling. 10 smaller pins and the same small ball you were using today.
It's been a long time since you uploaded a video Joseph. So glad you uploaded this video today. You and Jason played a good game of bowling.
😀🙌🙌
So I'm from Massachusetts and am of a French Canadian descent. We have family outside of Montreal. On top of that, I am a Blue Jays fan! So thankfully I randomly came across your page a few months ago. Never commented or anything. Just wanted to say thanks for having a kick ass channel and keep up the great content!
We have 2 "versions" of your 5 pin. 1 is CandlePin and the other is DuckPin. They are played with 10 pins and the rules are basically the same as typical 10 pin. However the ball is small like Canadian 5 ball as are the pins. Hence "CandlePin" or "DuckPin". Definitely agree with it being VERY frustrating, Especially if you've grown up with the typical 10 pin w/larger ball!
I grew up on Duckpin bowling. Same ball as 5-pin, same weights. Sylvian Bercier, a Canadian 5-Pin bowler comes down time to time and bowls in Duckpin tournaments in the states.
The next thing you should do is meet in the middle and try candle pin bowling. There's ten pins but you use the small balls. That's the main type of bowling down here in the maritime's.
Someone was having fun with the videograpy :D lookin slick.
Jason needs lane bumpers, lol.
I grew up in Windsor, ON, and played 10-pin almost exclusively. I even played in tournaments in Michigan (not in the top flight, but still very fun!). I've found switching to the 5-pin game very difficult, but it makes sense because controlling the small ball isn't easy. Hooking the ball in 5-pin doesn't help very much, and I think your fingertips can put a hook on the ball that you don't anticipate. They're very different games - and so are candlepins and duckpins (which don't exist in Ontario AFAIK).
Great job Joseph!!! You’ll get him next time! Awesome video, well shot and fun. I noticed the other day it had been a while so this was a great return for you both. Urlington Bowl is awesome!!! 🤪
haha yes! They were great. Food was good too! I might just go there for lunch during the day too!
Loved the video!!! I also grew up playing 5-pin bowling! I find 10-pin hurts my arm and fingers too much. And here in the West, we call it bowlers butt, the sore muscles you forgot you had! Keep up the fantastic work!!! :)
haah ya i was hurtin for sure!
That was such fun to watch!!
5 pin bowling is so much fun. Thanks fellow Canadian
No problem!! its tons of fun.
What a fun video! I didn't know 5-pin was a thing. Man, do I wish I had Jason's bowling form!
You guys are awesome!
I always enjoy watching your videos.
It's nice to see true friends just having a great time together.
Thank you so much!
@@JosephD you are a great guy , you respond to messages and I think you actually appreciate people that watch your videos.
Thank you being awesome!
Looking forward for more videos with you guys.
@@bats56537 yes I very much appreciate it! I’m gonna grow a bigger head here in a second so you better stop 😅
@@JosephD lol
You rock man!
5 pin looks like something a toy company would come up with for toddlers.
Actually laughed out loud at the Urlington gag. Thanks guys ... and an especially big thanks for the AmeriCan shirts and hat.
😄🙌
I’m from Buffalo and Absolutely Love Peameal Bacon!! It is So Tender, And Cholesterol free!! I tried 5 pin Bowling once in Niagara Falls Ontario and it was fun! I don’t remember, struggling as much as he did, but it was not easy!
Come to Atlantic Canada and play CANDLEPIN bowling!!! That is what I grew up on
the 5 hole is a hockey term, the area between the goalie's legs being the "5th" place a scoring shot can go.
I remember throwing Canadian 5 pin when I was a kid. Only did it 4 or 5 times but after becoming proficient at ten pin bowling I can relate to how difficult 5 pin is. And that the required skill set is completely different. Good vid (and dash of nostalgia)...P.S. I lived in Woodstock New York for several years and the Woodstock Pub used to serve fries with vinegar
The fact that he quoted pdw makes me love this video
That was really fun to watch.
I’ve tried Duckpin once in Montreal..very similar to Five pin
and the ball is all over the place if you’re used to 10 pin
I never had peameal bacon until I moved to Ontario
I enjoy seeing all the different food and tradition differences
Great video and take care ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you Sue!!
Duckpin is so much fun
According to Merriam-Webster, “The concept of the five-hole likely originated with Jacques Plante, NHL goalie and author of the 1972 book On Goaltending. Plante numbered five 'holes' in the net that goalies needed to protect: four at the corners of the net, and the hole between the goalie’s legs. Though there is some debate about how to number holes one through four - Plante lists one through four as stick-side low, glove-side low, glove-side high, and stick-side high - all sources follow Plante’s lead when it comes to the five-hole. Though no one uses one-, two-, three-, or four-hole when referring to shots or saves, five-hole has stuck for shorthand for ‘between the legs.’ ”
This is cool I’ve read different versions of the origin including the bowling version😅.
@@JosephD I think (and this is just my opinion) that bowling borrowed it from the Jacques Plante model, and it makes perfect sense. The bowling "5 hole" closely resembles the Plante "5 hole", so my guess is that the former borrowed it from the latter. The fact that the pin is worth 5 points is thus a coincidence that just really worked out nicely :)
Ha! Of course it was here in Burlington. Good to know BB still has some 5 pin.
Great to see a video comparing the games and bringing an American who never played it along. Played 5 pin growing up and would say 5 pin requires more skill to be good at it and is less forgiving than 10 pin because of less pin action. Like to see both do duckpin and candlepin bowling which I understand is more difficult than 5 pin and only in Eastern North America. All bowling is great.
I’ve seen duckpin bowling in, surprise, the Philippines. I would like to try five pins next time I’m visiting BC.
So much fun to watch! I used to belong to a 10 pin bowling league when kiddies were young. Your video brings back memories for me. Thank you. Looking forward to next one.!! 😘. BTW, I liked the 5 pin, seems like more of a challenge. And that's my vote.
great to see you guys again 😁
thank you!!
I didn't realize that candlepin bowling is only a Maritime thing!
yes glad u uploaded been so long!
Don't curve in five pin. Aim at the center mark. Have fun.😊
“Who do you think you are-I am?!” That’s the proper response
5 pin is an excellent game for a family fun night out. Even little kids can bowl.
Same with 10 pin, eh.
@@KC9UDX Isn’t a 10 pin ball too heavy for little kids?
@@TheAmtwhite at 6#? No. My kids were bowling at 2. I've seen smaller kids bowl by just rolling the ball on the floor. I've also seen ramps used by people (with disabilities) who couldn't throw the ball.
@@TheAmtwhite this guy is 4

I am a Canadian and I didn’t knew this existed
ohh😅
I played 10 Pin, 5 Pin, and Candlepin Bowling.
I usually struggled in 10 Pin, but did really well in 5 Pin Bowling.
While my 5 Pin Bowling high single is 312, I struggled in Candlepin as my high single is only 96.
Like Candlepin, you have to do your best to avoid a "spread eagle" in 5 Pin.
Whoa, was not expecting to see this bowling alley, what a throwback
Enjoyed this video well done
Thank you!
Every time I see an American play 5 pin for first time they try to curve the ball.
5 Pin Universe sent me to check out your video!! Very cool!
Oh cool!!
NGL 5-pin looks fun
I played 5-pin with someone from Mexico in April. In the 1st game, I dominated, but in the 2nd game, my knee gave out. It was close, but I lost. I haven't played 10 pin in a while.
ha oh boy thats no good
5 pin is awesome. I just went to a Youth bowl nationals getting silver. It's my passion and it makes me very happy seeing people being interested in it
5 Pin is exciting, but Candlepin is better.
@@HalifaxHercules idk. Your entitled to your opinion but. Candle pin takes less skill in my opinion. You can hit practically anywhere on the deck of pins and get a strike. 5 pin you have to be more accurate cuz if you don't hit the middle your not getting a strike. And the odds if getting a perfect game in candle pin are slim to none. It's too random. Theirs no consistency. Hit the middle and take out one pin but then hit the 6 pin and take out 8.
Great to see you guys back in action!! Pellicanos sells peameal.
Happy Canada to you Joseph
I am originally from Massachusetts and grew up bowling candlepin. Moved to Ohio and have bowled tenpin since. Have also bowled duckpin a few times (regulation duckpin..we have duckpin mini bowling here with 30 foot lanes and while it's fun, it's not the same as regulation bowling). I've always wanted to try 5-pin but have yet to do so. About 20 years ago I was in Windsor, ON and planned on going to a local bowling alley before heading back to the states. And sadly for me but awesome for the centre, the house was full of old ladies in a morning league. I didn't have time to stick around so I wasn't able to try. Next time I cross the border I plan on finally trying 5-pin! While I love tenpin and it's action, the small ball games are much more challenging. Getting a mark feels like much more an accomplishment than in tenpin for sure.
I think 5-pin is actually harder than 10, but it might just come down to what you are used to. Next road trip to the Maritimes for some real donairs and candlepin bowling... ;)
This game, is simular to U.S Duckpin bowling, invented in Baltimore, Md. in 1900.
It feels a little bit related to German Kegeln, which has 9 pins, different sized balls without holes, small light ones, big heavy ones…. But no narrow lane, which does not become wider towards the end (like a reversed funnel) like the American styled lanes.
That looked fun! My husband puts malt vinegar on his fries. I'm not a fan of any vinegar on my fries. It's either ketchup or cheese (cheese with bacon and pickled jalapenos are nice too). I don't get poutine because my guts don't like gravy, but if I wanted it many restaurants sell it near me.
Im like your husband. I prefer malt vinegar over white
I can’t bowl to save my life so I really enjoyed watching you two😆. Based on your demonstrations I think the best game would be a 10pin setup ( more pins) with a 5 pin ball ( lighter weight). 😁
Great editing job by the way.
Thank you Sheila!!
"Who do you think you are?! I AM!!" .... classic
@12:08 'who do you think you are - I am' lol from one of tsn's funny top 10 countdowns
Yess!! Hahah
I bowled candlepin, duckpin , 5 pin, and picked up 10 pin few years back and am still active in both 5 pin and 10 pin leagues. I believe a 5 pin bowler will adapt better to 10 pin then a 10 pin bowler to a 5 pin. 5 pin bowlers are great spare shooters in 10 pin well me anyways .
Love how Joseph is so excited. 🎳
Lol I was talking about 5 pin today to my American friends . Canadian living in New Mexico
I had no idea 5 pin was a thing. In the UK we have skittles, played in pubs on a dry lane. 9 pins, 3 balls, around about the same size as those Canadian balls. The pins are large & spread out. Seem like pretty similar games.
He did the Pete Weber thing! Love it
that was fun
OMG Burlington Bowl. Childhood memories!
It’s Bowling For Dollars! It kills me that I actually watched some of those shows. Introduced me to Buffalo, NY.👍🏻😎
It’s so awesome seeing Americans trying our game !!!!
I am Canadian, from Montreal and i didn't even know 5 pins bowling was a thing 😂😂
As an American, I’ve been playing 10 pin bowling and I am a really good bowler like Jason.
I understand the reticence to throw the 5-pin ball at full speed, if you're not used to a ball that size. I bowled candlepin for the first time in South Boston and I launched the first ball 2/3 of the way down the lane, and that's only a few ounces lighter than the 5-pin balls I'm used to.
Up next will be the Duckpin Challenge. In the Northeastern US there is a type of bowling called Duckpin that uses ten pins but 5-pin bowling balls. Have fun guys!
There’s Duckpins here in the Philippines, same just like your US Duckpin but a different environment with Different type of Wood Lanes (yet they were never been oiled), most Duckpin Centers don’t have Air conditioning and of course majority of Duckpin Centers here have Pinboys while others still have Sherman Pinsetters
Man, I was wondering what in the world you were talking about with "Pemale bacon" I'm glad Google knew what I was looking for and showed me to "Peameal bacon" lol
The 5 hole is called the 5 hole because the 4 other holes are the 4 corners of the net: stick side high and low and glove side high and low. But we can pretend that it got its name from 5-pin bowling.
Maybe maybe
According to Wikipedia, the 5 hole terminology did come from 5 pin bowling. Specifically what happens when someone punches the headpin.
This is a really good video and being American I loved to give 5 pin bowling a try. I wish there were bowling alleys in the united states that had this as an option of play.
Thank you!
Duckpin bowler here.... I've never tried 5-pin but this makes me ready to give it a go. If you miss left, then move left.
They're very similar. I leagued and played tournaments in 5 pin over the years, but I've tried both regular and rubberband duckpin. I like them all.
I had no idea 5 pin was only Canadian!! My mind is blown lol
In Quebec it's still 10 pins but with the 5 pins ball
Interesting! Where I’m from in Canada we have the smaller balls but not 5 pin
Mmmm loved it my bowling avg for 5 pin is 285 Love seeing the scores of 100...hugs you guys..you guys always brighten my day
Wow 285 average. You're a top notch bowler for sure.
They should have had a American Flag, next to the Canadian Flag, for this International Tournament.
I tried 5 pin bowling when I was a kid, and I hated it. The ball either kept going right between the pins without hitting any, or if it hit any, it only knocked over one pin.
We have something similar in New England. Candle pin bowling.10 pins.
interesting!
Aaaa 🤪 so funny) I learn English with your video 🤩 thank you 🙏
5-pins and a tiny ball? As an American, never heard of this. Sounds 1000% Canadian.
Damn, you guys are hilarious! 😂😂
Thanks Mike!
I'm from Mass. and i like candlepin bowling, invented in Worcester, Mass. in 1880.
He never told him you don't have to throw a curve in 5 pin. In fact, it's a good idea to just throw it as hard and straight as you can. The lighter ball needs some speed to get those pins moving, harder throw is an advantage that isn't really there in 10 pin.
Whether 10 pin or 5 pin bowling is better is of course utterly personal opinion, what is objective fact is that 5 pin bowling is more accessible to casual players. If they were both introduced from scratch today, it's 5 pin bowling that would win out. But inertia is a thing, and I doubt the States ever changes.
The 5 hole refers to the number 5 shot on Canadian practice hockey nets. #1 was always the top right, 2 top left, 3 bottom left, 4 bottom right, 5 between the legs
I went to the Burlington bowl yesterday
Oh my country, we play 10-Pin Bolling. I would score something. But 5-pin, I might score nothing. Both are great to play and I miss playing.
haha. You'd get the hang of it eventually.
Love the Happy Gilmore and Princess Bride references.
Great to see buds
wow, I did not know they don't have five-pin bowling in the U.S. I have only played 10-pin once and I think I nearly broke all my fingers. bowling is one sport I must say I suck at, if i get over 100 points I'm happy. I've been in good shape and I've been in bad shape, but no matter what shape I am in, I am sore as hell after playing bowling.
Burlington bowl! Blast from the past. If you go to easterbrooks ice cream and maybe a bush party, you will have summed up my 90’s 🤔
Burlington Bowl used to have some really good food. :-) :-)
The key to 5 pin is bowling as straight as possible. Hit the centre pin on a bit of an angle to get a strike.
