Ok, I will give it my best.

Stroker - One who doesnt rev the ball alot. Not very versatile. Accustomed to playing a down and in.

Tweener - Med Revs, very versatile. Can play many lines on the lane.

Cranker - Lots of Revs. Any ball will turn over in a crankers hands. The revs tend to overpower the lane conditions however not very versatile if the shot changes or calls for a move.

PAP - Positive Axis Point - Located on your Vertical axis line (VAL). See what king wrote. My initial post was too confusing.

I hope I got those right.
