Is the 5 pin not the kingpin in 10 pin bowling?
The 5-pin, the central pin in a bowling rack, is called the kingpin. One theory as to the origin of the name come from the related game of ninepins, in which one of the ways to score the most points was to knock down all of the pins except the center one.
It may help to think of the other pins as being the kingpin's court; they do their best to protect their liege from being bowled over by the enemy cannonball. Sometimes, they even succeed; at least on the first ball.
And the 5-pin isn't the only pin to have a special name. The 1-pin is called the headpin, for obvious reasons; and the 7- or 10-pin is often called a corner pin.
How many holes are there in a standard ten pin bowling bowl?
A bowling ball doesn't have any holes in the manufacturing stage.
The most common number of holes drilled is 3 - 2 fingers and a thumb.
In the early days and sometimes found today, there is only one finger and a thumb.
If there's been some hand injury, sometimes an extra finger hole is drilled.
Sometimes there is a counter balance hole drilled at or near the axis point to allow the dynamics of a bowling ball work better for a bowler.
In tenpin bowling, regardless of the number of holes, you are only allowed a certain weight difference at the grip point, where there is top and bottom weight and left and right side weight.
A strike is worth 10 points, plus the number of pins you knock down on your next 2 balls. So the minimum a strike would be worth is 10 points if you get gutter balls on your next 2 balls (10 + 0 + 0 = 10) or a maximum of 30 if you get strikes on your next 2 balls. 10 + 10 + 10 = 30 Getting multiple strikes in a row can quickly raise your point total and turn a bad game into a decent or even a good game.
