"Good for party bowling, but not for competitive bowling."

A review of Tenpin by True Siege written on Monday 13th of December 2010

Good point:

a) For people who want to play a few games of bowling for fun, you'll also get other means of entertainment, namely Quaser, licensed pub, pool tables etc.

Bad points:

a) People with rather competitive attitude (custom balls, own shoes, the rest of the kit in the bag and know how to get strikes/spares) should avoid this place.

a-i) Lanes are not properly maintained. You'll see pins falling from the machine, pins disappearing for no reason, your balls getting stuck and what not.

a-ii) Keep an eye on your ball, literally. My polyester came out of the ball return machine with some serious scratches. My friend's ball got damaged as well and he had to take it back to the pro-shop in other bowling place to repair(Tenpin doesn't have one). Good thing I haven't thrown my reactive ball down these lanes...

a-iii) The approaches are very, very dirty. Dust, human hair, bits of food, you'll find these things on the floor. When you're not on the approach, be careful not to step on sticky surfaces (softdrink spillage).

Overall, if you're bowling for fun, it should be fine, but make sure you wash your hands after playing a few games, because those houseballs are very dirty.

If you're a competitive person, have your own ball etc., avoid this place..
