What is a bagger in bowling?

Answer 1

Answer One:

A bagger in Bowling refers to the number of strikes in a row someone has. For example if someone had five strikes in a row, they had a five bagger in their game. Most people don't start using the term bagger until the fourth or fifth frame because two in a row is called a double, three in a row is called a turkey and since Rob Stone has been commentating on ESPN's showings of the PBA, a four bagger is often called a hambone.

Answer Two:

A Sand Bagger is one who does not bowl to the best of their ability all of the time, to keep their average lower and increase their handicap. Many bowlers look at this as a form of cheating since they consider it unsportsman like.
