What is 8 strikes in a row called in bowling?

according to wikipedia

Two consecutive strikes are referred to as a "double." Three strikes bowled consecutively are known as a "turkey" or "triple." Any longer string of strikes is referred to by a number affixed to the word "bagger," as in "four-bagger" (four baggers are also known as "hambones") or "five-bagger" for four or five consecutive strikes. This terminology is used most often when a bowler is "off the strikes." (i.e. has previously bowled a string of several strikes but failed to strike on his most recent ball.) When a player is "on the strikes," a string is often referenced by affixing "in a row" to the number of strikes bowled consecutively. Six strikes in a row are sometimes referred to as a "six pack."[1][2] 6 strikes and 9 strikes in a row can also be referred to "Wild Turkeys" and "Golden Turkeys" respectively. Any string of strikes starting in the first frame or ending "off the sheet" (where all of a bowler's shots from a certain frame to the end of the game strike) are often referred to as the "front" or "back" strikes, respectively (e.g. the 'front nine' for strikes in frames 1-9, or the 'back six' for strikes in frames 7, 8, and 9 with a turkey in the tenth). A perfect game or 12 strikes in a row is also colloquially referred to as the "Thanksgiving Turkey."

Great post from wikipedia. In the graphical scoring software used in centres strings of strikes are also labelled as follows: 4 in a row : Home Run I like the "Hambone" that has been promoted and made popular by Randy Petersen. Would like to see this introduced to the graphics packages. 5 in a row : Olympic Rings I personally would suggest Yatzee as an alternative as I was a big fan of this game growing up. 6 in a row : Six Pack I like the Wild Turkey reference in the wikipedia post earlier or Double Turkey 7 in a row : Seven Bagger Might I suggest a Turkey Hambone or some mixture for this. 8 in a row : Eight Bagger I would suggest a Super Hambone or Double Hambone 9 in a row : Nine Bagger I like the Golden Turkey reference in the wikipedia post earlier or Triple Turkey 10 in a row : 10 Bagger May I suggest a Super Yatzee or Double Yatzee 11 in a row : 11 Bagger Don't know what to call this any suggestions. 12 in a row : Perfect Game

Thanksgiving Turkey does not make much sense to Aus bowlers. Any other suggestions.

A strike in bowling is when a player knocks down all of their pins on their first try. Strikes are important in the context of the game because they will score you the most possible points. Strikes are hard to come by in bowling because it requires a technique and only the most experienced bowlers can consistently bowl strikes.

There is a technique to bowling a strike. We will break down the process of bowling a strike step-by-step.

Step 1: Find a starting position - Line up your left foot in between dots on the ground. Do the opposite if you are left-handed.

Step 2: Find the target - Aim to throw the ball on the second arrow from the right. Throwing the ball to the right of the arrow will give more traction to the ball as it rolls down the lane.

Step 3: Watch where your shot lands - Take note of where the ball rolls and how the pins hit one another. This will help you adjust for your next shot.

Many techniques will have to adjust based on the conditions of the lanes that you are playing on.

When a player bowls a strike, they receive an “X” in the small square of their scorecard pictured A Perfect Game. The “X” represents 10 points plus however many pins get knocked down on the two rolls after the strike.

In order to get a perfect game in bowling your final score would need to be 300, in other words getting 12 strikes in a row. Getting a perfect score in much more common in competitive bowling than recreational bowling.

There are many different and unique nicknames for getting consecutive strikes in bowling. Here’s a full list:

  • Two strikes in a row - Double
  • Three strikes in a row - Turkey or a Triple
  • Four strikes in a row - Four-bagger or Hambone
  • Five strikes in a row - Yahtzee or Five-bagger
  • Six strikes in a row - Six Pack or Six-bagger
  • Seven strikes in a row - Front Seven or Seven-bagger
