Best Answer

The first 15 feet or so (up to the arrows) is traditionally called the heads, which is short for the headboards. When Bowling lanes were made of wood, it was usually made from very hard woods such as maple, because it was the part of the lane that took the most pounding.

There is not a starting line in bowling. There is a foul line at the start of the lane where the ball travels. Prior to that is the approach where you walk and deliver the ball.
