Bowling

The maximum points you get in a game of ten pin bowling is 300. Only if every single shot is a strike.

There are four companies the seem to be more popular than others. Storm (probably most), Colombia 300, Brunswick, and Hammer. I am personally a Hammer freak specifically the Black Widow series of balls. From all the different balls that I have used, the Black Widow seems (to me) to have the smoothest of rolls and it really impacts into the pocket, I love it. I have had other balls, but I always come back to the Hammer Black Widow. I get excited when a new one is released. That is only my opinion and you have to find what you love. You really have to try different balls until you are happy. I am happy with Hammer! I am NOT a professional bowler! Jason J. Mullen

It depends on if you're right handed or left. If right handed, it could be that your hand is rotating clockwise as you are delivering the ball, which is called a backup ball. As you are delivering the ball, try to only slightly turn the hand counter-clockwise or keep it in a position where as you release the ball, your thumb comes up between the 10-12 oclock position and fingers at the 4-6 position.

The first 4 strikes in a row have been given the name 'hambone' (unofficially of course!)

Bowling alleys were primarily located in urban areas

If the plastic in the ball weighs 0.05 lbs, and the ball contains nothing but the plastic, then the weight of the ball is 0.05 lbs.

Very profitable! you can earn ALOT of money that you probably wouldn't know what to do with it!

No. Technically there are only ten frames in bowling. If you Spare in the tenth frame, you get a bonus shot called a fill shot. If you strike in the tenth frame, you get two bonus/fill shots.
no

so the ball will roll easier and the ball will hook harder when the oil ends making for a better hit. without oil you would have to bowl straight. hooking on a dry lane will but you in the gutter hard

The Dutch didn't invent bowling; evidence of the game has been found in Egyptian tombs dating back 5,000 years.

However, the Dutch, like the Germans and the English, obviously enjoyed the game enough to standardize it somewhat and begin to codify its rules.

The area upon with a bowler stands is called the approach. In most houses it is separated from the bowling circle, either by being raised, or by being cleared marked as separate.

It is an area that allows the bowler free movement to being their delivery progression.

Whatever pin is closer to you, so if you had to 2-9 or something similar, you throw at the left side of the 2, because it is closer. If you leave a spare, or split where the two pins are in the same row, like the 7 ten, you would throw at whatever pin you felt more comfortable throwing at

all pins count as one if they are not all knocked down. a spare: 10+the next ball thrown. Ex: spare 5=15 strike: 10+next 2 balls Ex: strike 7(first ball) 2(second ball)19 max count for a spare: 20 pins Max count for a strike: 30 pins

Where the pins are placed is called "the deck". The area where they fall back into is called "the pit".

a turkey (xxx) equals 60 points a 4 bagger (xxxx) is worth 80 a 5 bagger (xxxxx) is worth 100 a 6 pack (xxxxxx) is worth 120 7 in a row (xxxxxxx) is worth 140 8 in a row (xxxxxxxx) is worth 160 9 in a row (xxxxxxxxx) is worth 180 10 in a row (xxxxxxxxxx) is worth 200

Its made out of plastic (The free ones), and theres a type of hard marble or rock that's shaped into a round piece. And maybe even design it.

Then it gets sent out to Bowling shops, where people come to find one of there pleasure, and get it drilled for them to fit their fingers.

The pricing will vary depending on the center, day and time.

you need to bowl 3 games to establish an average. Add all 3 games together and divide by 3. After that you take your total pins divided by the amount of games you bowled to get your average.

In tenpin bowling, the circumference may not exceed 2 foot, 3 inches. The weight is dependant on the bowler. It ranges from 6 to 16 pounds. I imagine factoring in youth bowlers and male/female adult bowlers, the average weight is between 12-14 pounds. Most adult male bowlers bowl with a 16 pound bowling ball.

...4.....5.....6

.......2.....3

...........1 Professional bowler Earl Anthony, who held the record for career titles until about 2007, once said as a color analyst on a bowling telecast, "Call the pins by their number, not by their name." He meant that many bowlers had colorful (or more exactly, off-color) names for the pins that remained standing, usually on what looked like a hit that should have knocked them all down. Otherwise, the 1-pin, in the front center of the triangle of pins, is called the head pin. The 7 and 10 pins are "corner pins", being in the other corners of a full rack of pins. According to another pro Hall of Fame announcer, Nelson "Bo" Burton, in the fall of 2008, he said that Latin players call the 8 or 9 pin a "ghost" pins if either remains standing after what looks like a good strike pocket hit -- i.e., between the 1 and 3 pins for a righthander, or 1 and 2 pins for a lefthander, assuming they throw like the vast majority of players who hook the ball from right to left as a righthander or left to right as a lefthander.

Zero, the ball is smaller than normal bowling balls and it fits into your hand so you don't need finger holes in order to roll it.

They either land on the pin deck, drop in the pit, or fall in the gutter. The pinsetter then picks up an pins left and the sweep dumps all the pins into the pit to be resorted into pinsetter for the next frame.
