R  Rail Same as picket fence.    Railroad A wide split on which both pins are on the same line; e.g., the 7-10, 8-10, 7-9, or 4-6.    Range Finders Markers in the lane that help the bowler determine the target line. There are two sets of such markers: ten dots located seven feet past the foul line and seven arrows arranged in a triangle beginning 16 feet beyond the foul line.    Rap Same as burner.    Reading the Lane Experimentation, usually during practice, to determine the characteristics of a lane. Some lanes are faster than others, some will allow a bigger hook while others will hold the ball back, etc.    Release The point at which the ball is put onto the lane; also, the hand action that takes place at that point.    Rerack or Reset A call by a bowler asking that the pins be lifted from the alley and put back properly, because they're off spot.    Return The track that brings balls back from the pit.    Reverse A severe backup.    Ringing Ten-Burner An apparently good hit on the pocket that fails to knock the 10-pin down.    Rotation The spin given to the ball that creates both the break and action.    Runway Same as approach.
