- Faith, Hope, Charity
The 2-7-10 or 3-7-10 split. (Christmas tree)
- Fast
In different sections of the country the meaning is the opposite.
In one area (A) it means a lane that allows a ball to hook easily,
while in another area (B) it means a lane that holds down the
hook.
- Fence posts
The 7-10 split. (bed posts, goal posts, mule ears, snake eyes)
- Field goal
Ball rolled between two pins of a wide split.
- Fill
Pins knocked down following a spare or following two strikes which
are added to the ten or twenty pins, respectively, when scoring.
- Fill ball; fill frame
Final 10th-frame shot which adds ten or less pins.
- Finger grips
Inserts which can be placed into the finger and/or thumb holes
to allow the bowler to both hang onto the ball better and impart
spin at delivery.
- Fingertip
Type of bowling ball grip where the fingers are far enough from
the thumb that they can only be inserted into the ball as deep
as the first joint. Allows a great amount of spin to be imparted
to the ball because of the large span between thumb and fingers,
but requires a strong wrist and much practice to master.
- Fit split
Any split where itıs possible for the ball to hit both pins.
- Five-bagger
Five strikes in a row.
- Flat alley
A lane that despite perfect levelness doesn't run or hold with
respect to the action of the ball.
- Flat arc
The curved path of a ball in process of delivery when it is too
low to the approach or off to either side and so not part of a
perfect circle.
- Flat ball
Ineffective ball; few revolutions, little action.
- Floater
A ball that goes where the lane lets it; the ball is released
badly with no particular lift or turn.
- Flying elbow
See 'chicken wing.'
- Follow-through
Motion after release. Should be toward the pin you're aiming at
and may include a second 'shadow' swing without the ball.
- Forward pitch
Finger or thumb hole angled toward center of ball.
- Foul
Touching or going beyond the foul line at delivery.
- Foul line
The mark that determines the beginning of the lane, 60' this side
of the head pin, where the gutters start. Usually red. Has detector
lights ('foul lights') and a buzzer to alert your team and opponents
to your clumsiness. Crossing it gets you a count of zero for that
ball and, if on the first ball, a shot at a new rack of pins.
- Foundation
A strike in the ninth frame; base for three possible strikes in
the tenth frame.
- Four-bagger
Four strikes in a row.
- Four-step line
Usually a row of dots closest to the foul line; the dots further
back are for five-step deliveries.
- Frame
A tenth part of a game of bowling.
- Frozen rope
A ball rolled with excessive speed almost straight into the pocket.
- Fudge
Decrease revolutions on the ball; a weak shot producing a weak
ball, done on purpose to cut down the hook.
- Full hit
A ball striking near the center of the head pin on a strike attempt
or the middle of any pin you may be aiming at.
