Ten-Pin Bowling – What you should know from ColourUp Australia

Ten-pin bowling is a competitive sport where players roll a bowling ball on a wooden or synthetic lane towards the 10 pins placed at the end of the lane. The objective is to knock down all ten pins on the first roll of the ball (a strike), or failing that, on the second roll. It is a popular sport all around the world and played by millions. 

Ten-Pin bowling is played on a smooth, narrow surface called lane. A foul line is there at the beginning of the lane which should not be crossed by the players while bowling. At the end of the lane, pins are arranged in a triangular manner. The length between the pins and the foul line is 60 feet. About 15 feet from the foul line, a set of guidelines are there. On the other side of the lane, gutters are there. If the ball drops off the lane, it falls into the gutter and gets carried past the pins. The approach area is 15 feet long and ends at the foul line. Here the player holds the ball and rolls it in the lane while making a proper balance. The width of the lane is 41.5 inches and consists of 39 woods. 

At the end of the lane, the pins are arranged in four rows with one pin in the first row, two pins in the second row, three pins in the third and four pins in the last row. The pins are not numbered but the positions in which they are placed are numbered. The lane is protected by 18 millimetres of oil which starts 4 inches from the foul line and is applied 38 feet down the lane from that point. 

Bowling Ball

A bowling ball is one of the basic bowling equipment which is used to hit the bowling pins in the game. Previously, around the 1960s, hard rubber balls were used in the game which were replaced with polyester made balls around the 1970s. In the 1980s, polyurethane was introduced to make the balls. In modern bowling, reactive resin made balls and particle balls are being used.

The way finger holes are arranged on the ball that decide the movement of the ball down the lane. There are three finger drills on a bowling ball to carry the ball using your fingers. 

The ball used is typically not shallow inside. The diameter of a ten-pin bowling ball is 8.5 inches with a circumference not more than 27 inches. The ball’s weight should be below a maximum of 16 pounds. Except for the grills, the ball has a smooth surface.

Bowling Pin

The pins are used as the target in the bowling game. The height of a bowling pin is 40cm and width is 12cm. The weight of the bowling pin should be around 1.5kg. The pins are usually made of maple woods with stocks of rock glued to its bottom part. The outside part is coated with a plastic material. In some cases, synthetic materials are also used instead of wood. Synthetic pins are not allowed in case of ten-pin bowling.

Tenpin Bowling Coaching Tips - Australia.

Introduction.

Tenpin Bowling is a game in which ten skittles or pins are set up at the end of a track (typically one of several in a large automated alley) and bowled down with hard rubber or plastic balls.

Australian tenpin bowling began at the Washington Bowling Saloon in Ballarat, Victoria, in 1885, the records in Sydney's Mitchell Library show. Studies show that bowling 3 games is equivalent to walking one mile or 1.6kms. 

More than 200 million people enjoy bowling, in 115 countries spanning 6 continents, making bowling one of the largest participation sports in the world.

World Bowling has been recognized by the International Olympic Committee since 1979 as the governing body for bowling sports. Starting with five member federations in 1952, it grew to 141 in 2010. It has member federations located in all five Olympic regions. With more than 100 million participants, 10 million competitors and 250,000 bowling lanes, it is one of the largest and best organized sports in the world.

Australia is home to many internationally recognised world-class bowlers such as Cara Honeychurch (Commonwealth Games gold) and Jason Belmonte (World Champion). 

The aim for tenpin bowling is to knock all 10 pins down as often as possible, this is called a ‘strike’. The highest score; 300 is made when all 10 frames are strikes. If you do leave some pins standing, in the second bowl, the aim is knock down the remaining pins, this is called a ‘spare’. 

Coaching Tips.

In order to consistently throw a lot of strikes in the sport of bowling, you must hit the pocket from the correct angle and with the right speed.  The optimum angle for a strike is 6-7 degrees. 

The pins you leave indicate whether the angle of entry into the pocket is greater or less than 7 degrees. So why does the angle of entry matter so much you might ask?

If the entry angle is less than 6 degrees, the ball tends to deflect too much. Alternatively, if the entry angle is greater than 7 degrees, the ball will often drive too hard through the pins and not provide the necessary deflection.

You can change your pocket angle by making either parallel or staggered targeting adjustments. A parallel adjustment is when you move both your starting point on the approach and your target on the lane the same number of boards; in the same direction. A staggered adjustment requires moving your starting position on the approach and your target on the lane a different number of boards. But unless you are a physics professor and can tell the angle by sight, let's run through how to tell whether your angle of entry is above or below 7 degrees!

Leaving solid 10 pins (or 7 pins for left handers), where the 6 pin flies around the 10 pin, or leaving either the 8 pin or 9 pin from a solid pocket hit indicates the angle of entry is higher than 7 degrees. The video below shows a bowler leaving the 9 pin. The ball simply hasn't deflected enough through the pins and failed to take out the 9 pin (one of 4 pins the ball is actually supposed to make contact with).

If this is happening to you try moving your feet and target towards the centre of the lane as this will decrease the angle. For example move your feet 4 boards and your target 2 boards towards the centre of the lane.

An angle entry less than 7 degrees is often characterised by what is referred to as a "soft 10" (or "soft 7" for left handers). The video below shows precisely this, where the 6 pin just lays in the gutter in front of the 10 pin.

If this happens to you more than you would like, try a parallel adjustment and move your feet and target the same amount of boards eg move your feet and target 1 board towards the gutter. This will allow the ball a little more time on the backend to build up directional momentum for a strong pocket hit.

Remember the greater the angle with which the ball enters the pocket, the greater the power on the ball in terms of carrying the pins for a strike. The perfect pocket angle has the ball entering the pocket in such a manner that it will maintain its path of deflection through all ten pins.

A uniform promotes unity and can motivate players to work together and bond.
