Bowling

Yes there is. It may not be as popular as in th 60's but bowling establishments have tried to increase the fun for teens.

You have to knock down ten pins in two tries to get a spare.

No tin pins, ten in ten pin

For men the record is 1,724 by Mike Baskett and Todd Clatanoff from Plano, Texas on June 29, 2006 and for women the record is 1,591 by Angela Brick and Sue Jeziorski from Endicott, NY. on Feb. 22, 2005. Both records are according to the USBC Records book.

It starts right near the foul line and usually extends 38 to 42 feet from the foul line. That leaves about 20 feet of lane surface that is without oil, including the pin deck. These measurements are for when the oil is first applied. As bowlers bowl on the pattern, some of the oil migrates further down the lane, as the balls thrown pick up oil and then deposit it on the way to the pins. This is referred to by bowlers as carrydown oil.

This area is usually referred to as "the pit".

• First Tape the paper to the floor. Tape at the ends of the paper so that the paper doesn't move.
• Put on your socks as you will wear your bowling shoes with socks on. Now sit one the chair and put one of your feet firmly to the floor and slightly bent your legs so that the shin is just in front of the ankle.
• Now trace an outline of your foot, holding the pencil vertical and upright to the paper.
• Don't hold it at an angel as you will trace under your feet resulting an inaccurate measurement. If possible ask a friend of yours or your bowling mate to trace your feet for you.
• Once the tracing is done, use your pencil or pen to mark the widest and longest part of your feet.
• Now use a measuring tape or ruler to measure the length in inches. Don't round up your markings rather use the closest 16th
• Write your measurement down and repeat this process on the other feet.
• Most of the people ignores the width because actual shoe sizes are based on length. But in order to find narrow or wide shoes, it is important to know the width.
• Use the largest of the measurement that you find to determine your shoe size. For example if your right foot is 1/3 of inch longer than your left foot. Then go for the size of your right foot. Same thing applies for determining the measurement of the width of your feet.
• Once you have the length and width, deduct 1/5 of an inch from each of those numbers. These final numbers are the actual measurement of your shoes.

You must have a minimum of 4 teams. Contact the bowling center regarding scheduling. For sanction play, contact the local bowling association for the league application and a copy of the bowling rules. Develop a set of league bylaws, using the bowling rules as a guideline. Purchase a league management software, such as CDE Software's BLS bowling league secretary software to track the scores, standings and statistics as well as financials.

At a bowling store if there is such a thing or at a sports store like...... Dick's sporting goods

Aaah, I think you might be up to something with this one. The easy answer of course would seem to be that the lighter 5 kg bowling ball will be easier to stop moving compared to the heavier 10kg bowling ball. However, let's say that both balls are moving at a speed of 30 mph. If the heavier 10kg bowling ball is rolling alone on pavement, while the lighter 5 kg bowling ball is also moving on pavement, at the same speed, but in the front seat of a delivery truck! Well then, my money would say that the heavier ball would actually be the easier one to stop moving.

A hook with the ball can be done several ways. Some of it depends on the ball design and lane conditions. In most cases its making sure the ball comes off the thumb first then lift with the fingers. The hand position should be at about the 4 oclock position.

There are a lot of ways, here are two: 1. Week number 1 is a fun week (nothing counts), weeks 2-7 regular 12 team schedule; week 8 is a position round; weeks 9-13 continue regular schedule; week 14 position week; weeks 15-19 are regular; week 20 another position round; weeks 21-26 regular; week 27 position and week 28 another fun night (and usually party/payoffs). OR 2. Weeks 1-6 regular; week 7 position; weeks 8-12 regular; weeks 13 and 14 both position weeks; weeks 15-19 regular; week 20 position; weeks 21-26 regular; and weeks 27 and 28 position. I hope that makes sense...

Three consecutive strikes in bowling scores 30 points in the frame that the first strike occurred. A score for a strike is 10 plus the next two balls thrown. If a strike is followed by a strike and then an 8 on the first ball of the third frame then the first strike is worth just 28 points.

The alley or lane is 60 feet long from the foul line (at the player's end) to the center of the head (first) pin at the other end.

The total length from the foul line to the end of the pin deck (the area under the pins) is 62 feet 10 and 3/16 inches long.

It is a good bowlign ball if you need to pick up your spares. This ball is only meant to go straight but if u can throw the ball slow enough and add ALOT of r evs you can get it to hook.

u can have up to five (one for each finger) but most balls have 3-4 holes. one for thumb, one for middle finger, one for ring finger, and for higher preformance bowling balls, they usually have a counterweight hole so that it balances the ball ass it rolls down the lane.

It varies from center to center, but in general it's cheaper during the day, and more expensive on nights and weekends.

Top PBA athletes earn a salary of around 250,000 dollars. Professional PBA players only make about one fourth of that or around 62,500 dollars.

Once a golf ball is used you can just use it for practicing. Or you can sell them on eBay as practice balls. You could however donate them to US Soldiers serving in conflicts around the world.

The differents names for two consecutive strikes are:
1. Double
2. Double bag
3. Double bagger."

Years ago there was an award given to junior bowlers who threw two in a row, it was called a "hambone."For more information see links below.

The earliest evidence of bowling is artifacts found in an Egyptian crypt dating back as early as 3200 BC. See links below for more information.

It depends on what you are using for bait. No really, as you are just about to release the ball (beside your ankle) rotate your hand at the wrist from under the ball to the SIDE of the ball. You should do this just before you let the ball go down the lane so that it will spin as it goes. This needs to be done smoothly and it will take some practice but it helps get those strikes. Good luck.

Bowling 12 strikes in a row and getting a perfect game of 300.
