Ben Glascock has spent most of his life somewhere between the foul line and the edit timeline — a skilled bowler, coach, and storyteller raised on Sunday telecasts, youth league memories, and the stubborn belief that “your best life is a ten-pin life.”

When he looked around the YouTube bowling scene in 2021, he found it stale, outdated, and painfully boring, so he launched Ten Pin Life — to create the content he wished existed. The idea was simple: make bowling, fun, human, and worth caring about again. 

Through the Lens of Ben Glascock

A Fanatic with a
Modern POV

What started as a passion project grew into a creative engine for the modern game. One that celebrates everything beautifully old-school about it. Ten Pin Life began as a personal outlet but quickly became the beating heart of a growing community dedicated to telling the stories bowling forgot to tell.

If bowling is America’s most underrated social experiment, Ten Pin Life is the camera crew that keeps showing its receipts — one dusty trophy case, neon sign, and perfectly imperfect night at a time.

Ben is a media mind tuned to the moments that turn into memories — with a sixth sense for the setting, the stakes, and the story.

Along the way, Ben realized the game he loved was quietly burning him out. Pinsetters became his reset button — a full-circle road trip through the alleys, oddballs, and ordinary heroes who made him fall in love with bowling in the first place. It’s part confession, part pilgrimage, and part thank-you note to the people who keep oil in the gutters, lights on over lane 12, and space at the table for one more.

DISCOVER THE DEEPER INSPIRATION
We're not here to relive the past. We’re here to put bowling back on the map. Not as a glossy infomercial, but as a call home — to one of America’s last true third places, where showing up matters more than showing off.
