Hot, upset with new record in son's game (8)

I believe the answer is:

ninepins

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'game' is the definition.
(I know that ninepins is a type of bowling)

'hot upset with new record in son's' is the wordplay.
'hot' becomes 'in' (both can mean fashionable).
'upset' is a reversal indicator.
'with new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'record' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'in' written backwards gives 'ni'.
'ni'+'n'+'ep'+'in'+'s'='NINEPINS'

Can you help me to learn more?
