Crankers v Strokers
« on: April 16, 2005, 09:03:47 AM »
It seems that in today's population of young bowlers, all they want to do is crank it across the alley. You see it in leagues, and open bowling, kids grabbing a ball off the rack, using no thumb and just makin it go from one end to the other usually not getting many pins. Why is it that every young kid strives to throw that big hook. I am one of the few that is not like that, i am trying to be a nice Stroker. Would anyone agree that it is easy to repeat a strokers shot rather than a crankers, wont the scores prevail over the look of the ball going down? what do you guys think

I have just turned 30 and have been bowling 16 years. Easton please don't confuse revolution with hook I can just as easily play with my 600rpm up 5 as I can swinging the entire lane. Its all about the tilt and speed and release that I give the ball to get my desired reaction.

i remember a youth bowler (about 14 years old i bet) who was at the pro-am and bowling on the lanes next to where i was, he was a MAJOR cranker and when he had the ball in the pocket it WOULD strike, but he also had a hard time on the pba pattern, he averages like 180 or so (if he was telling the truth, when i asked him) but everytime he missed right (right handed) he would leave nasty washouts and pin count in the 7 area, he was good but couldn't get it dont under the harder lane conditions.

see you have had ample time to adjust your game to your liking, NOW tell me who was your favorite bowler while growing up and how did he bowl?

Crankers spray the ball just like everyone else.. Crankers are human and make mistakes. YES they miss their mark sometimes, but who the heck dosent? Look at Tommy Jones and Rob Smith, then look at Norm Duke and Steve Jaros. Yeah SOMETIMES they let ONE or TWO go but its not their style, it could be a matter of getting to fast or a back arm swing. Dont blame the style.

Cody, again this is about the YABA bowlers NOT pro's. THEY make small mistakes, the youth make quite bigger ones.

It dosent matter if your youth or not YOUR HUMAN arnt you? If you dont spray a ball or 2 then well your a friggin robot. EVERYONE Sprays a ball. Easton sprays every ball but thats besides the point. Hell I wont lie, I shot 250 sprayin EVERY shot. am I proud of it? Somewhat lol IT HAPPENES.

this is turning into a "style contest" now we all are blaming the other style, forget it people we all have flaws. Strokers dont hit hard enough sometimes and crankers miss sometimes. there we know the truth
