With a right-handed player, the best time to relax the thumb is at a 10 o’clock position. In English, that means for the perfect hook, the player should move his hand in a 12 to 10 position when releasing the ball.

The game starts when the first player takes his first chance at bowling in the first frame.

Spare

If the player succeeds at knocking down all of the pins on his second attempt, it’s referred to as a spare.

Brooklyn

This is a particular type of strike that sees a player score a strike by hitting all of the pins in the opposite pocket from where he bowled.

Granny style

For physically handicapped or extremely young players, they can hold the ball in both hands and swing it between their legs.

Backup is another bowling style where bowlers offer a flick of the wrist either clockwise (for left-handed direction) or clockwise (for right-handed direction).
