aerial bowling

A form of bowling that requires the player to swing a ball suspended from a cord at bowling pins instead of rolling it on the floor of a lane.

The gangster's moll asked me to play a game of aerial bowling at that new Catskills joint and beat me 68 to 64. It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing. But I had to let her beat me of course. He wasn't there, but he had plenty of eyes present nonetheless.
