What Is The Definition Of Foul Line In Bowling?
1. The foul line is the line on a bowling lane that separates the approach area from the playing area. The foul line is approximately 60 feet from the pin deck.
If the bowler touches any part of the foul line with any part of their body after the ball has been released, then it is a foul. If the bowler had knocked over any pins on the foul, then those pins will not count and they will receive a score of zero.
