What is a "ten-strike"?
A ten-strike in bowling refers to a term used when a player knocks down all 10 pins with their first roll in a frame, resulting in a strike. The term "ten-strike" is a more informal or playful way to refer to a regular strike, which is considered one of the best possible outcomes in a game. A strike allows the player to score 10 points for the frame, plus the number of pins knocked down in their next two rolls. Scoring a ten-strike is a key achievement in bowling.
