This true-scale diagram shows how a bowling lane has an approach, a foul line, target arrows, downlane markers, and a pin deck.

Bowling alleys contain long and narrow synthetic or wooden lanes. [9]

Scale diagram of bowling pins and balls for several variants of the sport. The horizontal blue lines are 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart vertically. Bowling pins (historically also known as skittles or kegels) are upright elongated solids of rotation with a flat base for setting, usually made of wood (esp. maple) standing between 9 and 16 inches (23 and 41cm) tall.

Freeman and Hatfield posit that the increase in perfect games is due to factors such as the introduction of reactive resin coverstocks, asymmetric ball cores, synthetic lane surfaces, and precision lane oiling mach
The lane is usually under a dry lane condition (without oil), or rarely oiled in typical house shot, allowing players to release a hook ball in a similar fashion as ten-pin bowling. The pins used in the Texas version of nine-pins are the same dimensions as those used in ten-pins, and the bowlers use ten-pin balls, with finger and thumb holes ...
