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

Strokers miss too. Crankers Miss, Tweeners miss, EVERYONE misses, nobody understands that. AGE has NOTHING to do with who misses.

were on the subject of youths though, newer to the game, never really tried every shot, just first they they wanted to do is be a cranker, now someone older, has had time to meess around see what is good and get it down path, i will say probably will have a fine shot being a cranker but referring to youth they most of the time barely ever get flush strikes, that i see

Im not a cranker. Did you guys not watch the motel 6 show today? Duke sprayed one. I know older guys who spray every ball. YEAH the subject is youth but that dosent mean crap. AGE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TALENT. Look at Brian Valenta, Mark French, PJ Haggraty(I know I misspelled it dont flame me please). How many times have they sprayed a ball before they learned. YOU GOTTA LEARN TO DO SOMTHIN Good. You guys will never understand what im sayin.

Well not being from the US, I cant comment on the way your youth players play. I live in Northern Ireland where there is not a large number of players but there is defiantly some quality young players in their early 20's. All of which at some point have tried to copy me, but have all developed solid games with good revs which I belive is down to finding out what they can and can't do with a bowling ball when they were young. Then working out what best suits them and fine tuning it as they get older.

Strokers are NOT more consistent than crankers.  Well, that's IMO.

Not to brag or anything (), but, I'm a terribly low rev-rate'er stroker, and I believe that I am more accurate than some teens... sorta...
