and oil patterns, the
lane is the path the
ball travels down to
knock down the pins
positioned at the end
of it.

Pins
The pins in bowling are
white, wooden structures
that stand up at the end of
the lane. Standard
bowling pins are 15 inches
tall and are composed of
hard maple wood covered
in plastic, which is what
gives them a bright white
appearance.

sack is a resin
bag that helps to

the top and roll it
down the ramp
towards the pins.

competitive teams
will wear matching

Shoes
Bowling shoes are
necessary for the
safety of the players.
The shoes are
equipped with rubber
soles to stop a player
from sliding after he
releases the ball.

Tape
Bowling tape can be
used by bowlers to
reshape the holes
of the ball and give
a better grip when
they are bowling.

a microfiber towel
that players carry
around in their
bags in order to
wipe off sweat
during a match.

Game description
Bowling involves two or more players
trying to knock down ten pins in two
turns. The first attempt is counted and
recorded by the pinsetter. The second
attempt is repeated, and the pins knocked
down are recorded. The bowler's score is
then added to the pins from the first and
second rolls, ensuring a fair game.
SCORING SYSTEM
In score keeping of a game in bowling each set of ten
pins is called a frame and an entire game has ten
frames. The object of each frame in bowling is
knocking over all ten pins, and the goal of the game is
to have high score.
When bowlers accomplished the goal of each frame by
knocking all the ten pins, they are awarded a bonus.
The bonus that is awarded will depend on whether
they knocked at all ten pins down on their first ball or
the second roll.
The Strike
When a bowler knocks all the ten pins down
on the first ball roll he said to have rolled a
strike. The scorekeeper will mark an X for
that frame and the bowler’s score is the ten
pins that he just knocked down plus he gets
to add to that what he knocks down in his
next two ball rolls. Consequently, you may
now know what a bowler’s score is on that
frame for up to two more frames
The Spare
When a baller is ten pins down on the second ball
roll they are said to have rolled spare. The score
keeper will mark a / for that frame and the bowler
score is the ten pins that he just knocked down in
addition to that what he knocks down on his next ball
roll.
Each bowler gets a strike or spare in the first 10
frames. Score continues to accumulate as each
bowler take turns (frames). The bowler who throws
a strike in the tenth frame must roll additional balls
to complete the score for the 10th frame.

Choosing The Right Ball

The Weight
Ten pounds for a hundred pounds
person, twenty pounds for a two
hundred pounds person, and so on. If
you have a limb or heart condition,
it’s okay to pick an even lighter ball.

Instead of throwing the ball in a
straight line, you curve the ball so
that it collides with the lane. Doing
hook bowling will help you get more
strikes because the ball hits the pins
with a stronger force.
A St r a i g h t B
wl a l
Bo l
Bowling a straight ball can help you
knock down the pins, but it’s not as
efficient as hook bowling. Straight
bowling runs down the lane directly,
so the ball may not hit all pins.

A relaxing fingertip grip will bring a
comfortable feeling and confident manner
while throwing the bowling ball. Several
players do their grips incorrectly because
they lack knowledge of the ball’s weight.
It’s a big problem that you should avoid to
have a good performance
Cr a n k e r
To do bowling cranks, you need to
generate maximum power while
bowling. Cranking the ball is one of
the best ways to bring down the
pins if you do it precisely;
otherwise, you’ll be unable to
control the ball.
we r St r ok e r
Po s
Bowling players who try to maintain a
constant form and high pressure are
called ‘power strokers’. It’s an advanced
skill that requires you to keep a steady
form when bowling at a high revolution
rate.

Your probability of knocking

your footwork. It is the core


of your entire muscle

concerned that taking a
short or lengthy run will be

Speed is a considerable factor that every
player wants to control in bowling. You
frequently think about other playing
techniques instead of speed.

It’s important to decide if you’ll need
a slow or quick release to get the
pins down instantly. If you set up
your release time wrongly, the
chance of getting more pins will be
lower.
