Post by: NicholasE on April 07, 2008, 03:23:07 PM: I bowl in the PBA league and the guys that are on top are strokers with avg speed but a great sense of oil patterns and can really score well playing up five. Two leftys, one a no thumber then the other a righty with thumb as well. But no one is really a cranker on the PBA shots. My team is as close as you will get swinging patterns maybe 10 boards. All of us have high revs but we stay outside for the most part.

Post by: bighook69 on April 07, 2008, 03:26:14 PM: tops? Revs... . Probably tweener, top bowler is 100% tweener, I am more power player and an easy 2nd behind him.

Post by: notsohotshot on April 07, 2008, 03:38:03 PM: It frustrates me.In my area every house is set up for the down and inners.You would think with the expensive lane machines these days they could put out a shot that would be fair to all types of bowlers.These people have never seen 10 and out to be out of bounds. Only a couple of hand full of people around here do anything besides the down and in.BORING
Title: Re: which bowling style dominates your league?
Post by: FastTracker33 on April 07, 2008, 04:16:17 PM: Hmm.. Top three averages are as follows:

1st - Left Hander
2nd - Power Stroker
3rd - (me) Power Stroker - Tweener

I'm not sure if I really am a power stroker, but i'm sure not a cranker, sure not a stroker, and i'm not sure about a tweener. Lol. So who knows!

Post by: JessN16 on April 07, 2008, 04:25:34 PM: Mostly tweeners here. Tweeners are at the top, with all other styles about equally represented after that.

Post by: sdbowler on April 07, 2008, 04:59:24 PM: Very soft release. Allowing the ball to roll very smooth and a slight change in direction. I still am not smart enough to try to change styles to work more towards it.

Post by: Leftyhi-trak on April 07, 2008, 07:35:41 PM: Power tweeners. Most speed dominant, overpower older wood lanes. med/heavy volume, medium length 40ft +/- 1ft.

Title: Re: which bowling style dominates your league?
Post by: Doug Sterner on April 07, 2008, 07:44:11 PM: The top guys in our leagues fall into 2 distinct categories....

1. the "no hand, no speed dump it up 10" guys

2. the "rocket the ball to the pocket" guys

Anybody with any kind of hand and sub-18 MPH ball speed is screwed.

Post by: another300 on April 07, 2008, 07:46:27 PM: Kind of a tie right now between two lefties, good speed, good revs and a tweener, stroker and a cranker. They are all at 230 average with a few weeks to go.

I gave the no thumb bowlers their own spot. Most people realize that no thumb bowlers have very high rev rates.

Post by: Madiballz23 on April 08, 2008, 10:44:47 AM: 1: Lefty stroker
2: Righty tweener (but I'm catching #1 ;-)
3: Righty cranker
4: Righty cranker

Although in all honestly #3 and #4 would rule the league if they could make their spares.

Post by: mainzer on April 08, 2008, 10:47:46 AM: Strokers almost everywhere outside of the Fox Valley in the valley tweeners dominate the scene. I Bolwed in Shawano last season about an hour North of Appleton last season and was asked if I always throw that hard with that many revs.

Post by: mrbowlingnut on April 16, 2008, 04:38:03 PM: Sunset Station cranker or no thumbers do well, South Point guys like me with higher speed and medium revs dominate.

Lefties do well at most every house here in Vegas if they are accurate, i do not bowl too much in the west area of town but east side the lefties can eat you up nightly.
Title: Re: which bowling style dominates your league?
Post by: n00dlejester on April 16, 2008, 06:11:33 PM: At Howell, it's usually the strokers/tweeners who play straighter that dominate. At Strathmore it's the spray and pray kinda guys.
