Bowling

So the ball can pick up more speed. For example, if you drop a feather on the ground, it takes a longer time to fall than a heavier object, such as a notepad. A Bowling ball is heavier to gain speed faster.

The International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame moved from St. Louis, Missouri, United States to Arlington, TX, United States in 2008.
The national hall of fame is located in Arlington, TX a few blocks from the baseball stadium.

The use of bowling shoes during bowling sessions is to maintain cleanliness during your bowling session. The shoes you rent do not ever leave the bowling alley, thus leaving your bowling game area clean.

A perfect score/game in Bowling is a 300. It occurs when you get 12 strikes in a row. Yes, there are only 10 Frames, but if you get a strike in the last frame (10th Frame), you get two more shots.

Yes. The maximum score in tenpin bowling is 300. One way to bowl a 242: 1st frame - strike

2nd frame - strike

3rd frame - seven on the first ball and a spare on the second ball

4th frame - strike

5th frame - strike

6th frame - seven on the first ball and a spare on the second ball

7th frame - strike

8th frame - strike

9th frame - strike

10th frame - strike on the first ball, eight on the second ball, spare on the third ball

Assuming you have a typical pendulum type swing, the ball is release just as you are coming upwards in the swing. If you stop your arm movement right after the point of release, it can sometimes interfere with accuracy, distance, roll, etc. By continuing the pendulum swing post release, you improve accuracy, distance, roll, speed, etc.

Golf is another similar thing, where you see pro's continue the club swing after hitting the ball until the club comes completely behind them.

Talk with your pro shop expert. This can depend on your slide. There are bowling shoes with exchangeable soles and the soles have different surfaces allowing more or less slide. Some shoes also have "plugs" which are discs that can be exchanged in the same way and have different surfaces to assist with the slide.

That would depend on the weight of the bowling balls. If they were 10 pounds each, that would be 700 pounds total.

The front of the lane is maple and the middle to end of the lane is pine, that's why you see two different colors. Today most lanes are not made of wood, they are made of a synthetic material.

It depends. To score a spare, you add 10+the next roll. A spare is when all the pins are down after the SECOND roll, regardless of the number of pins knocked down on the first roll. (If all pins are knocked down on the first roll, that is a strike)

A spare is a term in bowling that means all of the pins are knocked down with the second ball of the frame. It is usually indicated by a slash "/" on the scoresheet. A player gaining a spare gains 10 points.

There are many places in the U.S. named Bowling Green, including towns in Maryland, Virginia, Indiana, and Missouri, plus a park in Lower Manhattan, NY. But the two main places associated with the name are a city in Kentucky, home of the Corvette and Western Kentucky University, which is in Warren County, and a city near Toledo, Ohio, which is in Wood County. The latter is the home of Bowling Green State University.

There are a couple bowling centers in Albemarle, NC.

The turkey. It's supposedly because they'd give you a turkey if you bowled three strikes in a row the week before Thanksgiving.

According to the USBC you cannot place anything on the bowling approach which may alter another bowler's performance ability. It is usually considered okay, however if someone complains that it is altering their play, then it is a violation and the president should tell the violator to stop immediately, if they do not, they can forfeit their scores or points for the game.

The ABC records transferred to the USBC for historical purposes.

League schedules can be found on the United States Bowling Congress' website at www.bowl.com. They have schedules for 4 to 48 teams.

Also, there is league software available on the market, such as CDE Software's Bowling League Secretary, that have the schedules built in.

In your case, you would use an 8 team schedule.

Kingpin (1996), starring Woody Harrelson, Randy Quaid, and Bill Murray. Personally, I've always thought this movie was really boring and decidedly unfunny...but some of my friends love it.
