[Mike White]

I try to let everything happen as natural as I can. learned a lot of that from my golfing days.

Oh no, another naturalist... Aslan doesn't want to see images of your junk

Wife would not record anything tonight but my first game out of the gate went: X, X, 7-, -/, X, X, X, 7-, X, X, 8 1= 199. While in the 10th frame on my second shot they turned the lights off right as I was releasing the ball. Oh well. I was looking forward to busting 200 tonight for the first time since getting back into it but still happy with the 199. Steadily improving.

So Asian, since you know everything, and tried to tell me that a spare ball is not important, look at the score above.

Looks to me like if the guy had a good spare ball, and would got those couple spares, then the 200 game would have been achieved!!

And I am not talking about a stupid house ball.

And Asian, by the way, if you think you can make a living with one bowling ball on the PBA, then come on and join me as I bring my entire arsenal that is set up for any condition I may come across!! yeah come on and join me please

Thank you Trex. I do have a second ball but I am going to have to have it redrilled because it is the same Columbia ball that I have had since I was 13. Fingers just do not fit in it properly anymore. Maybe I can get that 200 this sunday on some freshly oiled lanes.

What is the difference between a cranker, stroker, and other bowling styles. Also how do you guys know what your rev rates are?

Stroker, Tweener and Cranker use to be defined by the line they played, their swing etc. today they are basically defined by Rev rate.

Here's one chart, but theres several with different variations
< 300 stroker
300-400 tweener
> 400 cranker


Watch the video in this thread for basic info on (though there's a couple of ways to do it.)

Sounds like a very complicated system lol. One of these days when I am more consistent with my release I will have to get the local Pro Shop to figure out what my Rev rate is.

I had that done once several years ago I would like to see what it is now I think I have much more rotation then I had back then. Back then it was 450 but that was tested on a throw where I was really trying to rip it and not my normal throw.
