Stroker's the smooth classic style of bowling, typically have lower rev's, lower back swing, more square to the foul line. They rely on accuracy and have a more consistent shots. Example Norm Duke

Tweener is in between Stroker and Cranker. more rev's and back swing, a stronger wrist position than a stroker. Example Brian Voss

Cranker Highest rev's, use big back swings (Though not always), very cupped wrist, open shoulders. Typically have "late timing" (foot at F-line before ball) and try to generate lots of area and power to cover less than perfect hits.

Cranker's tend to stand at the extreme opposite side of the approach

There are also variations of the above styles.

There is also the spinner style, not seen in the US much. More in Asia.

Plus the Two handed style

It really doesn't matter what type of bowler you are. What matters are those x's on the score sheet. Here is a link to give you some insight as to what type of bowler you may be. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowling_form

Not necessarily. There are a couple of two finger crankers at our lanes. They just cup the ball and basically have it rested on there bicep. I'll see if I can find a youtube video.

Here is a good video showing a two finger non 2 handed release.

The Two Finger style (Thumbless bowler) is just a variation of the Cranker Style.
