Knowing the bowling terminology is the first step in progressing as a pro bowler. Bowling terminology is the language bowlers use to communicate with each other. Some bowling terms are more important than others, and knowing them can help you learn the game’s mechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of these terms is called a sleeper. So, what exactly is a sleeper in bowling?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A sleeper in bowling is a pin directly behind another pin in the deck arrangement, hidden from view. For example, if you see 2-pin, 8-pin is now behind it and is therefore not completely visible to the bowler.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Similarly, 5 pin is directly placed behind the headpin, and 9 pin is placed behind 3 pin.
