We have candlepin here in Boston/northeast. No one outside of here knows what it is, and after they play it they say "why the fuck is this popular?" Big balls all day every day.
Your son missed every single pin, those 'nice one' comments will make him a butter-soft snowflake.
Candlepin is weak in principle, but it's good for when you've got small kids because it's easier for them to participate. And some alleys have speedometers to clock how fast the ball is going, so the grown ups can compete to see who can whip the ball down the lane the fastest.
