#BALL HEAD STRAIGHT PINS PATCH#
Formerly, USBC members were awarded a patch for converting this split in league play. If a BTBA member converts it in a BTBA Sanctioned League he can be awarded a badge. Big Four: A very hard split to convert, this leaves pins 4-6-7-10.If all four have struck then the anchor must strike to prevent the Beer Frame, therefore also BFO. BFO: Beer Frame Opportunity: This is when three of the first four bowlers of a five man team have struck before the anchor man's turn such that if he strikes it will be a beer frame.
Also known as coke frame when people not of drinking age are involved. Many teams will consider a split conversion as "Strike" for a Beer Frame. Beer frame: In team play, the only bowler on the team not to strike in a given frame must buy a beer for his teammates.Also known as the fence posts or goal posts. Bedposts: The 7-10 split, considered one of the most difficult to convert.Bagger: Always preceded by a number from three to eleven, denoting a string of consecutive strikes.Back end: The last 15–20 feet of the lane, where the ball is supposed to develop the most friction (due to lack of oil) and hook into the pocket.If thrown by a left-hander, a back-up ball breaks right-to-left. Back-Up Ball: A ball thrown by a right-handed bowler that hooks left-to-right instead of right-to-left.The average is computed by adding the total score from a number of games bowled, then dividing by the number of games bowled. Average: This is a method for a bowler to compare their skill against other bowlers.Can also refer to the steps the bowler takes before delivering the ball over the foul line. Approach: The space before the foul line, approximately 15 feet.This is usually the best bowler on the team, and/or the bowler considered to be the coolest under pressure. Anchor: In league play, this is the person bowling last on the team.As with many sports, bowling has many terms and jargon that may not be well known to the casual player or TV viewer.
