Yeah, your form looked real good.  Maybe you could coach me.  Cameraman needs a steadier hand though, LOL.  Got a little dizzy at one point, LOL.

Well..kind of hard to decide. The release is more like a cranker, with alot of wrist and some elebow action. But the ball behaved more like a tweener,(even if its impossiblee to judge with out all the stats). I would say cranker

here's a little clip that might give another look...you can only see the style on the 2nd shot...but better than nothing.

this clip is from this year too, so it's my 5 step approach...thoughts on that would be appreciated too.

There are so many different opinions of these definitions, but I agree he's a tweener but to the crank side of tweener because of the torque at the end.  A typical cranker's arm swing is more behind the back w/some height.  See Steve Hoskins & Brian Himmler.  You could actually say they are power crankers because of their high speed & torque.  You have more of a free smooth arm swing and a slight acceleration of speed at the release that strokers identify with but you have some torque going on with your down swing just prior to your release.  Thus tweener.  Hope that helps.

Look out for that grenade TCP,

High end tweener. A cranker usually has more of a bent elbow, more planting the foot, and little bit later timing. Very nice though

Id have to go with with a tweener as well. A cranker has more elbow bend, faster wrist action and plants more.
