The Rules of Ten Pin (10 Pin) Bowling - EXPLAINED! 

Ninh explains - The Rules of Ten Pin Bowling. A lot of people asked for this one, even though I was sure that everyone knew the rules of this sport already. And before anyone asks, I will not be doing a video on Candlepin bowling, Duckpin Bowling, 9 Pin bowling (or any variant thereof), Lawn Bowls, Crown Green Bowling, Flat Green Bowling, Petanque, Boules, Bocce or any other variation of bowling for that matter. It’s just not worth the time compared to the amount of views I’m getting.

1. It will always amaze me how professional bowlers are able to make that curve. 2. I came here mainly to see how strikes and spares are calculated. I never could figure it out.

3rd time bowling consistly (once a week) and today I scored a 156 and 147. Super stoked to be getting better each time!

I’ve been Bowling for 10 Years (while currently still a League Bowler since 2019, well except I’m retired for now due to COVID shut down my local shopping mall Bowling Center here in the Philippines for one and a half year) and this is one of the best videos I’ve seen all about Bowling, not like those clickbait videos or videos from people teaching how to play Bowling like a Casual and not like a Pro. Keep up the good work tho.

I’ve watched about 20 videos to explain scoring and this was the only one that helped. Thank you.

Thanks man. Just saw a f book post by a mate, and know very little about the game till now.

Wow that was VERY helpful!

It took me awhile to learn ten pin bowling since I started with the five pin game which is still played here in Canada. Fortunately modern technology in the scoring system replaces those old annoying score sheets. 😀

Great video !

Great Video and thanks for clear explanation. Love from India

I requested this and you delivered! Bloody legend. You deserve more than 25K subs 😊

Great video

I like how much changes in a year - seeing as you've now done Crown Green and Lawn Bowls in the series too. I tend to already know a lot of these sports already, but love watching them and to see how to best explain how sports work to interested friends rather than get stuck down rabbit holes. Great work Ninh, great content as always.

Love the capcom music

This is very helpful. I like that the PBA put blue die in the oil. It makes it more enjoyable. I general I wish more people knew the rules to bowling. I think it would make it more enjoyable to play, since most people don't know what is going on when they play bowling.

Thank you! Your videos are short, simple, and straight to the point. They are perfect for sharing with my elementary students.

Although I've known how to play this game pretty much my entire life, I watched it anyway because why the hell not? The best game I've ever bowled is a 223. One game of which you should explain the rules: bocce ball (AKA Italian bowling). Just a thought for one in the future.

Awesome video. I think part of bowling's appeal in the world is the fact that anyone can play, and most players have a relaxed look when they play. Great vid, Ninh. Did you know there's also a Canadian variant called 5-pin, and a variety in the US New England States named Candlepin bowling? It'd be nice to do videos of those two variants of bowling. Cheers! :D

Brings me back to when I bowled as a kid. Didn't know they oiled the lanes. Just thought they waxed them daily. Awesome video

Pete Webber "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE I AM"

Thanks for your informative video of scoring methods and other things in ten pin bowling. However, nowadays, Weber Cup has been required to introduce a new scoring method (Alternative Method) (i) The Open Frame is the same as the method described in the video, while the spare and the strike is different. (ii) If you get a strike, you will directly get 30 marks directly (Therefore the 10th Frame no longer has 3 balls) (iii) If you get a spare, you will get 10 marks plus the first shot marks (For example 9 /=19 Marks)

Great vid, now I can watch the Sky Sports coverage and understand what this all means.

excellent vid for newbies. people starting out bowling that then take it on as a hobby need vids like this. will definitely recommend this to anyone looking to understand the rules better! excellent video my man.

Looks interesting. Also I heard and know about Canadian five pin bowling. Can you please explain the rules of Canadian five pin bowling?

Another awesome video Ninh! You're by far one of the most underrated users on this site.

great video as always!

Diggin this Gameboy type music haha :D

Thanks,Helped a lot!

hi Ninh nice video as always. Have you ever considered a full series about the history of lesser known sports? I feel it would marry well with your format.

I love bowling

I’m doing a single and doubles tournament this week

thank you for the video, I was researching the rules and namigs for a project, and I had no idea that there is oil on the lanes, and all the details

I know all about bowling, I just watched because I love these videos.

Me here just before my machine coding round where I have to design a code for this, wish me best luck

Overall, very informative. However, i find it funny that you omitted the baker format, despite using a considerable amount of footage from the Dallas Strikers’ 300 game, which was bowled using Baker format. In a Baker game, you have five bowlers, who all bowl two frames, frames apart. For example, one person might bowl frames 1 and 6, or 2 and 7. It is more common than doubles, and, you almost never see games of three or four by comparison.

Thank you for putting this together. I am bowling in my first league game in a few hours..I'm going to be a 'fill in' for a player that's missing tonight. What I'd like to see is a video that goes over the actual rules a player follows..like how lanes are alternated with teams, etiquette, rules on the balls, shoes, handicaps, etc. Online I'm having a hard time finding all this stuff. I bowl regularly every Friday for fun with the wife and I'm pretty decent (about a 190-200 average most nights). But with a well oiled lane compared to what I'm used to (random, low or high oil content) it may prove to be difficult to adjust in just a game or two.

Do the rules of Wii Sports next.

So in a public bowling alley is there oil on the lanes or do they only have it in professional bowling?

You did forget to mention the 5 player team version called Baker, where 5 players rotate every frame (bowler A bowls frames 1/6, B 2/7, etc. to E, or the anchor, bowls 5/10). Brings a whole new level of difficulty in to the sport.

I was wanting this because I went bowling today.

This music making it look like a Core-A Gaming video

very well explained.

To calculate the value of a frame with a spare in it, add ten points to the immediate throw's pinfall value that follows then add that sum to the value of the previous frame. If a spare is followed by a strike, it's worth 20 points. To calculate the value of a frame with a strike in it, add ten points to the pinfall value of the immediate combined two throws that follow then add that sum to the value of the previous frame . A strike can be worth up to 30 points if two consecutive strikes follow. If a strike is followed by a spare (two combined throws in the following two-box frame) or (if a strike in the first box of the 10th frame is followed by by two throws combining to make a spare in the second and third boxes of the 10th frame) it is worth 20 points. Remember: strike = 10 + next two throws spare = 10 + next one throw Question How does a foot fault or fowl affect a bowling score according to bowling rules?

I learned about that oil the hard way (I crossed the line when I released the ball)

Karin’s theme from Street fighter V? Lmaoo

I am interest in the background music you used in this video, can you give me the name of the BGM,thx a lot?

Nice information brother for beginers. But also make a video on how score is calculate in bowling

well explained.

Why didn't you explain the rules of etiquette (also known as common manners). Too many people keep moving onto my lane just before I bowl and others cut in front of me before I bowl. I'm sure you can't do anything now, but if you ever make an updated version, please include these rules. Thanks for reading this (if you did) and keep up the good work.

I know that if any part of the foot goes past the line to the actual alley lane on the follow-through on a bowl, that's a foul. But what if any other part of the body crosses the line into the alley itself? Is that also a foul?

Unexpected theme. Great selection

Shoutout to Karins theme

woah this made me so much better at bowling

Niko its Roman. Lets Go Bowling- Roman 2008

Duck pin bowling and candle pin bowling have you to bowl 3 shots but in candle pin bowling the pins will be still there and you can use it as a advantage

so THAT'S what "open frame" means

The first time I ever got a strike in the last frame I wondered why the game didn’t end. At first I thought it was broken but I quickly figured out what was going on

What thing replace the pin in bowling?

When you say different lanes have different oil patterns, do you mean even the 12 lanes that are within the same bowling hall are oiled differently?

I want to be good at bowling too impress everybody

I tried playing bowling professionally i avg a 205 per game but there are players better than that

I have WII Sports and I always thought that the best way to knock down all pins was to throw the ball straight into the middle pin

Do 5-Pin next!

Don’t leave out the turkey!!!!

Whos your favorites? Mine is probably Jesper Svensson becsuse he bowls like me

Would have been nice to mention something about bowling leagues in there

Is there a group that enforces bowling rules? Any wiggle room to reprogram the computers to play and score it differently?

The one thing you didn't mention is that the PBA uses 2 lanes instead of 1.

The music is distracting and annoying at the same time, but the information, in my opinion is solid

Slight correction. Yes with the scoring you get two chances to knock down as many pins as you can in a single frame, except for the last frame depending on how well you score in that frame. For example if you either get a strike or a spare in that frame , you either get two more throws in the case of a strike or one more throw in the case of a spare.

Bowling is great! I'm a Beginner Bowler.

Ayy cousin

Street fighter v

Great. Lets play bowling

Wrong. The bowling lane is longer than 60 feet. 60 feet is the distance from the foul line to the center of the head pin. The actual length is closer to 63 feet (62 ft 10 & 3/16 in). Source: bowl.com/uploadedFiles/Equipment_Specs/Information/2012FebESManualWEBINTERACTIVE.pdf, page 27

Thank you. It's just Bowling.

Came here after watching The Big Lebowski😁

i cant bowl my hands are too small

Are there any rules against throwing a bowling ball like you do a baseball?

Queen hope dance and dance enjoy happiness hangovers alot of work in research, and political, business robots barbie angel work 12377777 class good Jéhovah, light computaa, God is the same yesterday today and forever 2212021

Anyone had this assigned for Gym Class for online homework?

Well basically we need a high rev to knock all the pins down

Three strikes in a row is called a turkey

In current frame scoring, perfect game is 10 strikes in a row.

This is the type of game that beginners can compete with pros😂

Ay yo who else here cause of Mr.Pinto

Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "how to make a bowling ball hook less" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Piylivern Remarkable Predominance - (search on google ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for discovering how to up your bowling game quickly without the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my neighbour got amazing results with it.

Candle pin bowling!!!!

Another thing you should mention is how professional bowling balls differ from the ones you find at your local center. Rental bowling balls, known as house balls, are made of plastic with a round core, and they don't really hook at all. Not compared to professional-grade balls. Professional-grade balls have their outer shells made of something called "reactive resin" or "urethane" (urethane is better for playing the outside parts of lanes). These substances have been scientifically engineered to increase the bowling ball's traction on the lane, but the thing is, every formula is different depending on the ball, because of skill levels. There are also weight cores in various designs that distribute the weight unevenly to help the ball curve more. This article should show you some different weight core designs: www.popsci.com/story/technology/bowling-ball-insides-photos/

Sound off, who is here because of gym.

You missed The Turkey A Turkey is when you get 3 strikes in a row

Am I the only on in the comment section that got here because of cringe P.E teachers?
