What is bowling?

The sport of Bowling ( also known as tenpins ) is an indoor sport in which a ball between 6 and 16 lbs. in weight is rolled down a lane approximately 42 inches wide by 60 feet long from the foul line to the head pin, in an effort to knock down 10 pins set in a triangular array at the other end of the lane. There are 10 frames in a game, each frame consisting of two balls thrown unless a strike is recorded. Scoring is based on the number of pins knocked down with the highest possible score being 300. Knocking down all ten pins on the first try results in a strike, needing the second ball to knock down remaining pins is referred to as a spare.

Bowling is a sport and a hobby in which you use a round, heavy ball to roll down a long, straight lane, to hit medium sized pins. What is the objective of bowling? The objective is to knock all of the pins down in one roll, which would give you a strike, and the maximum points for that roll. How to bowl? A player is given two rolls each turn, and each turn is called a “frame”. The bowling ball has three holes in which a player inserts their middle, ring and thumb fingers to roll it. There are different sized balls available, varying in weight, for the comfort of the player. After the ball is rolled down the lane, past the pins, it will go through a mechanical underground shoot, and be returned to the player in a machine next to their seats. The winner will be the player with the highest score. Your score each turn depends upon how many pins are knocked down.  more
