Bowling

It's all relative to where you are standing, what your target is, what the ball reaction is based on how you throw it, the speed of the throw, etc etc. There really isn't enough details to give a qualified answer.

Do not know. However it is MUCH too low. Compare the top payout for poker e.g. 8 million to Jerry Yang in 2007 or golf, routinely 500K+

no it doesnt. a wrist guard prevents a bowler from breaking their wrist. breaking your wrist means you arent keeping the joint flat and level and it can lead to tendonitis

The different between a strike and a spare is the number of shots used in knocking all 10 pins down. A strike is knocking all 10 pins down in one shot. A spare is knocking all 10 pins down in two shots.

If a bowler knocks down all 10 pins on the first delivery, it is called a "strike". If it takes two deliveries to knock all the pins down, it is called a "spare". If there are pins still standing after two deliveries, it is called an "open".

East Bowl is a bowling center and does not have a website.

"You are bowling" is correct. Bowling is generally considered a verb.

I would use one of these remote control fart machines. Make it "fart" each time your friend is about to throw :)

You can get one in this April fools day pranks site below.

There are many definitions in bowling that are called "Peterson Points". The most common interpretation is 1 point for every 50 pins bowled.

A dash is used in scoring to indicate no pins were knocked down.

There are 10 "frames" in a game of bowling.

There are many different types of bowling to choose from. Depending on which country you reside in (our your own heritage) "bowling" may mean different things to different people.

See the links section below for general information on all types of bowling around which will also have links about what each type is and how it is played.

In the US check out the USBC (United States Bowling Congress) website for information on sanctioned tenpin bowling. It is also listed below in the links section.

After 36 years of calling the action of the Professional Bowlers Association tour on ABC, Chris Schenkel signed off in June 1997.

Their sole purpose, according to Al Vanderneck, of the American Bowling Congress, is to look pretty. Part of Vanderneck's job is to check the specifications of bowling equipment and he reports that without the stripes, the pins "just look funny." The area where the stripes are placed is known as the "neck," and evidently a naked neck on a bowling pin stands out as much as a tie-less neck on a tuxedo wearer.

That depends on the bowling center, the region of the country in which it's located, and the time of day during which the league is scheduled. For example, in America the east and west coasts are generally more expensive than the middle of the country; and evenings are considered prime time, and are therefore more expensive.

If you're looking to join a league, the cost of the lineage is already built into what you pay per week. If instead you're looking to start one, speak with the center manager about negotiating a price that works for both the center and your league.

The pocket is the "sweet spot" in a bowling shot. If you are a right handed bowler, it is between the head pin (number one) and number three pin (numbers one and two if you are a lefty). If your speed, rotation, timing, and the bowling gods willing, are all in synch, the results should be a stike (ten pins in one shot).

a bowling approach is the steps a person takes before actually throwing the ball. the approach is also the area that starts at the end of the ball return up to the foul line.

In 1970 he was voted the "greatest bowler in history" in a poll of veteran writers by Bowling magazine. Carter bowled with some of bowling's most famous teams, starting with the Hermann Undertakers of St. Louis and Ziern Antiques before joining Pfeiffers of Detroit. He bowled 266, 253, 235 in Budweiser's record 3858 series in 1958. In ABC tournament competition, he has a 22-year average of 201 and was a member of 3 championship teams.

EDWARD P. (NED) DAY

Milwaukee, Wis.

One of the game's great stylists, Day was one of the 1st to make extensive exhibition and match game tours. He was also one of the 1st to perform in film shorts produced by Pete Smith in Hollywood. He was noted as a great instructor. A member of the champion Heil Products team in Milwaukee, he later bowled more than a decade with top Chicago teams. He was a member of the Falstaff team that captured the 1956 ABC tournament championship. He was 1st in all events in the 1948 ABC.

He has the highest lifetime ABC tournament average ever complied, 204 for 25 years. Formerly a pitcher in the St. Louis Browns' farm system, he won 23 games for Wausau in the Wisconsin State League in 1947, a record that stood until the circuit folded in 1953. Quitting baseball at the age of 21, he joined Ed (Sarge) Easter (then 67 years old) as the youngest-oldest duo ever crowned national doubles champions. For many years Lubanski was one of the few top stars still using a 2-finger ball. He won the Central States and Michigan State all events and 7 other titles, most of them in the Midwest. He bowled 2 800 series and 11 sanctioned 300 games.

ENRICO (HANK) MARINO

ANDREW VARIPAPA

Hempstead, N.Y.

Varipapa, a leading instructor and exhibition bowler, was one of the 1st bowlers to make nationwide tours. An expert trick-shot artist, he starred in the 1st bowling film short, Strikes and Spares, in 1934, and later made many other such films. His trick shots have often overshadowed his competitive bowling, but he has an impressive list of achievements in tournaments. He won the 1946-1947 national All-Star at the age of 55 and won it again the following year, the 1st bowler to repeat as All-Star champion. He broke the Phillies Jackpot on national television in 1959 to win $6,000 for 9 strikes in a row. When at the age of 78 he developed a painful wrist and arm ailment that prevented his bowling right-handed, he took up bowling left-handed and within 18 months was averaging 180. Although he has bowled numerous perfect games in exhibitions, he has had only one sanctioned 300.
