You call it a strike!
A strike is achieved when a bowler knocks down all ten pins with their first roll. It's a coveted achievement in bowling, as it earns you the maximum points possible for that frame.
Here's how a strike is scored:
- 10 points are awarded for knocking down all the pins.
- Bonus points are added for the next two rolls.
- Example: If you bowl a strike, then a spare (knocking down all the pins in two rolls), and then a 7, you would score 10 + 10 + 7 = 27 points for that frame.
Strikes are a crucial part of bowling strategy, and they can significantly improve your overall score.
