How would you desctibe your bowling style? Revs/Speed etc?
« on: May 15, 2011, 11:15:49 PM »

- How would you describe your bowling style?  Stroker, Tweener, Cranker etc
- What (approx) is your (A-Game) rev rate?
- What (approx) is your (A-Gane) ball speed?
- What part of the lane to you try as your "go to" line?
- What tipe of "look" do you prefer?  straighter lines? control?  big back end move? etc
 
thanks :)

- Stroker

- 250rpm actual rev rate based on video (CATS measures it around 330)

- 15.5-16mph Qubica measurement, so probably closer to 18mph off the hand

- On a house shot I usually start with my breakpoint around 7-8 to keep just a bit outside the oil line, with just a couple boards of belly. However, on a sport shot, that all goes out the window.

- My natural inclination is to throw out a couple boards from left to right, but playing straighter angles, and the further right, the better. I don't like to cover many boards, and I don't like to see a violent flip downlane. (I throw equipment that has stronger backend capabilities usually, but tame it down with some surface. This tends to carry well for me but still give me control.) However, on longer oil, I like to get a little further left with my feet than you might think. I sometimes give up a little entry angle, but get more trip 4s and am less likely to leave a split or washout.

- Stroker, maybe very mild Tweener. I reject the term "Power Stroker".

- probably 275-300 RPM, based an self-made video camera shot (Ebonite method)

- 14.5mph, typically

- Most comfortable line between 2nd and 3rd arrow, breaking between 5th and 8th board.

- Try to keep the overall hook small and lines straight and simple - any covered board too much means depleted energy and room for stray errors. Control is preferred, consequently, but that does IMO not exclude a strong back end. in fact, I like balls that offer good length through the front part with a sharp hook and back end, because I need this reaction shape when I play deeper lines with my slower ball speed.

- How would you describe your bowling style?  Tweener
- What (approx) is your (A-Game) rev rate? 325rpm
- What (approx) is your (A-Gane) ball speed? 15.5mph (Quibica)
- What part of the lane to you try as your "go to" line? Track area, 15 arrows to 8-12 breakpoint depending on pattern is A game
- What tipe of "look" do you prefer?  straighter lines? control?  big back end move? etc Control balls, but flippy stuff is a need for games after the lanes breakdown a lot, so a little bit of everything because you have to be ready for anything

-  Stroker/Tweener
 
-  275-320
 
-  16.5 mph
 
-  13 board to 7 board at breakpoint
 
-  I like doing a control ball motion but as I move more inside I switch for more of a big backend reaction.

Bowling style:   Cranker

A-Game rev rate:   400-450

A-Game ball speed:   17-17.5 (Qubica)

Go-to line:   17 (arrows) to 10 (breakpoint)

Like to have control pieces with only one high end piece in my arsenal (Legends WCR).  But recently picked up a Prodigy and now have a strong ball to experiment with.  At my home house, throw a Power Groove, Avalanche Urethane, and now a Purple Rhino Pro.

- How would you describe your bowling style?  Stroker, Tweener, Cranker etc
I consider myself a tweener but am probably right on the border between stroker/tweener
 
- What (approx) is your (A-Game) rev rate?
275-300
 
- What (approx) is your (A-Game) ball speed?
17.0-17.5 at the pins - so probably 19-20mph initial ball speed
 
- What part of the lane to you try as your "go to" line?
Anywhere outside of 10 if it's there.
 
- What type of "look" do you prefer?  straighter lines? control?  big back end move? etc
I prefer fairly straighter lines - 0 to 5 board swing is my comfort zone. I don't have any trouble playing from 5th arrow out but wherever I'm playing I prefer tighter lines. I prefer control pieces but have a couple of strong backend pieces in the bag if that's what's needed to score.

mostly guesstimates...

A game RPM 350ish give or take; quibica speed is usually 17mph

A game line is anywhere from 11-17 at the arrows, 3-10 at the breakpoint

i like a bit of a back end pop, but prefer strong arc/continuation; when breakpoint plays with little room for error, control is king..in those conditions, my white dot has been good.

I am a cranker-tweener. My ball speed is around 14MPH as measured by Quibica. My rev rate is between 350-375 on my day to day bowling and I like to roll around 12-14 at the arrows and swing out to around 5. My problems come because most houses here around Little Rock are on the dryer side so I have to start going straighter up the boards. I am also getting older and my ball speed is getting slower but my rev rate is still hi so things don't match up. I have been working hard to match my slower speed and not put as many revs on the ball ao that they match up a little better. It is a struggle every day.

 

 

ANY IDEAS THAT MIGHT HELP ARE WELCOME!!!!!

Cranker

375-400

18.5

Anything inside, 18 or so in to about 25 at the arrows keeping the break point in about 12 or so.

I like stuff that has a hard arc, something easy to control off the spot but with enough punch to hit/carry from the line I mentioned above.
