Strike!
One of our typical Sukkos activities is bowling. The Pikesville AMF lanes have been redone with computer scoring. The neatest part about the computer scoring is that it also measures the speed of the ball. Most of the time I rolled it in the low 20's. I wonder if I bowled more frequently, if the speed would increase. The one time I consciously tried to roll it harder, I had no control and I gained maybe 2 mph. I also wonder if throwing the ball harder would improve my scores or do location and angle mostly determine the success of a roll.
My 7 year old rolled the ball at about 5 mph.
Yes, that's a strike.
BTW, if you're not familiar, those are duckpins.

I love it - the ducks! Takes me back to first grade, which is a long-distance bus trip, indeed.
Problem with speed is you increase the risk of a chop; more moderate momentum gives you a better shot at more random (i.e. bigger) patterns into which the pins may fall.
