Help: Common Technical Terms
« on: February 17, 2005, 04:06:25 AM »
Hey,
  While I'm not new to bowling, I am new to the technical side of things.  When on the lane I know what I need to do, how to correct, and what I can do to get the response I want from my ball (or at least hit the pocket where I need to) but I dont know all the technical terms to things.  Same goes with the ball side of things all the tech terms are new to me.

Could you please elaborate on some things (such as what does the term Stroker mean?).

Thanks.  I feel like one of the 'half savvy computer users' I deal with at work.  I know the workings enough to be dangerous, but I have no idea of what the 'tech' side of things are.

Thanks.
