The box in each frame holds the first roll value, and the space to the direct right holds the next score, if needed to finish the pins of that frame. The total scores of each frame are calculated and placed at the bottom of the box.

Lets look at the first frame, the number 1, it is a 9/. This means, I hit 9 pins the first bowl, and 1 pin the second bowl, to finish off to a spare. So this clearly is 10 points, but since it is a spare, the rule says, add the next score.

We see the next score is an X, meaning I knocked them all down, a strike, and this counts as 10 obviously cause there are 10 pins. And since this is the next score, it shall be the bonus to the first frame, so the final score of the first frame is 9/ = 10 + next score of X = 10 = 20 points!

Let us look at the second frame, in which I got an X, this means, add the next two scores, not frames, so that means, I will add the 3rd frame X, and the 4th frame score of 7.

These two scores equal 17 points extra to add to the second frame. So now the second frame, it should be 20 from the first frame, plus the 10 I got for the X, and the next two frames, which is 17 points, totally 47. For cases of X and spares, you will need to wait to calculate the score.

So to review the calculating of the 2nd frame:20 (from previous total) + 10 (from current or calculating frame, 2nd frame) + 17 (value of next two SCORES) = 47.

For the 3rd frame, which is an X, we add the next two scores, which happens to be 7 and /. This is a total bonus of 10 points, because 7 + the remaining 3, which makes the spare.

So to reviewing calculating the 3rd frame:47 (from previous total) + 10 (from current or calculating frame, 3rd frame) + 10 (value of next two scores, 7 and /) = 67.

Okay, let us skip ahead assuming you can do the math, if not, keep doing it till it makes sense. We shall now just to frame 9. In this case, previous points is 182, and since it is neither a strike nor spare, it is just 9 points plus previous because there are no bonus points for not finishing all the pins. So just add 9 points to 182.

The final frame, frame number 10, is just straight value also. So if there are 3 X’s, there is no bonus calculating in the 10th frame, and its just a straight 30 points. So just add the 3 lil boxes and you have the score from the 10th frame to add to the previous frame 9 score of 191. This will total 210!

Bowling is a fun sport and it should be. Although it’s a sport which was initially not meant to be played by everyone, choosing the right kinds of gears makes it possible for almost all people to enjoy the game. Choosing the right bowling gear can elevate one’s game if he is serious about bowling. One can actually play the game without going through the hassle of buying and bringing his own gear, but it’s so much better to play with your own gear. It’s like playing a guitar, once you buy a guitar and you get used to it and the same is true of bowling.

A serious bowler must have his own bowling balls. Bowling balls differ in weight, which is probably one of the most important things to consider when choosing a bowling ball. The general rule in bowling is that a person can use a ball which weights 10% of his total body weight. This means that a person who weights 140 pounds can use a ball which weights up to 14 pounds. In choosing a bowling ball, one must also assess the comfort that it brings to the hand and the wrist, the right distance of the finger holes, and the general feel of the ball.

Some people may find bowling shoes funny-looking, however, they are very important in bowling. The right kind and size of bowling shoes allows the bowler to concentrate more the game and less on the little irritating details that come along with rented shoes from the alley. Bowling bags should be bought if one desires the convenience they bring. Today’s bowling bags can accommodate more than one bowling ball and the other accessories that might be needed. Not all bowlers use wrist supports but they do help in training the wrist to perform the correct release of the ball with the right position. Buying essential bowling gear is important if a player wants to move up to another level. Gear refers to the tools which you use to be able to achieve a better style of play or simply to train yourself to play properly…
