"A brilliant app with tools to help you develop and learn different skills. The observation trainer is a great way to train your eyes to start watching your ball go down the lane"

"As UAE National Head Coach, I use Tenpin Toolkit to explain to my players how to play the lanes and the 3D view really helps them see the proper line. The Observation Trainer helps them learn to follow their ball through the pins and start to understand why things happen."

"I use Tenpin Toolkit at PBA level and as a coach. The lane play portion is fantastic, with the ability to show getting the ball right quickly which is crucial on the PBA Tour. The observation trainer is really good for helping players watch the ball go off the deck and determining dominant eye to help alignment. One of the best $9.99 I have ever spent and the most realistic app in the world for what I am doing."

A collection of useful tools for tenpin bowlers and coaches including:

- Angles & Targeting -
Adjust your targets to show a shot on the lane diagram and work out the exact path the ball should take from the start of the approach.

- Axis Tilt & Rotation -
Take a picture or video of your ball with a PAP (Positive Axis Point) marker and position it beneath a guide to get an approximate measurement of your axis tilt and rotation.

- Ball Speed & RPM -
Calculate the speed the ball travels down the lane. Use a video for greater accuracy and slow the video down to measure rev rate.

- Observation Trainer -
Watch bowling balls travel down a simulated lane to test and improve your ability to observe ball motion.

- Pattern Library -
Instant access to details & diagrams of hundreds of oil patterns, or enter your own custom patterns. Load any pattern into Angles & Targeting to plot your shot directly over it and plan how you'll attack the lanes.

- Bowling Ball Arsenal -
Searchable library of over 1,500 balls and a way to manage your own arsenal. Organise balls into separate bags and keep track of information such as surface, layout, important dates and more. When looking for something new, use the Ball Library to find exactly what you want, with filters for brand, cover & core types, RG, Diff and more.

- Notes -
Keep track of information about your game and equipment. Create general notes, or add notes from within most of the other tools, such as for oil patterns, your bowling balls, Speed & RPM readings, Observation Trainer scores and more.

- Score Calculator -
A calculator for bowling scoring and a great way for beginners to learn how the scoring system works.

- Spare Names -
Just for fun, tap on the pins to see the nicknames of common spares.

Ratings and reviews

I absolutely love this app. It's a must have for anyone wanting to take their game to the next level but it is INVALUABLE as an arsenal/equipment tracker. An older ball of mine wasn't listed so I followed the instructions for how to request the add, and it was in there the next day. Amazing. I'd love to see a future update include a feature for tracking game scores and stats (by pins). If that's added, this would literally be the only app you'd need.

It sounds like it would be a cool idea, but this thing is not easy to use at all. I have gotten each feature to work 1 time after about 40 attempts. Now I cant get anything to work right. If your hoping to get a lot of useful data just bring a friend or get a coach if you value your time and sanity. The only things that works easily is the ball speed calculation and rev rate but you don't need a app for that so yeah. I wouldn't recommend this really. Cool in theory no so much in practice.

Trying the paid version for a year. I'm disappointed that my most often used balls aren't in the arsenal listing (RG Attention series, and the IQ Dark Green). So far it's not too bad other than this. Using this to get some ideas for the tougher patterns and how my equipment matches up. It would be nice if we could add custom balls to the arsenal for these situations.
