GARBAGE

[mikniks19]

When I say crankers are becoming "obsolete," I mean that the advantage they gained when resin first came out is negated a little bit by lane conditions, equipment, etc... when the lanes are hard you don't really wanna be crossing 1000 boards and giving yourself massive over-under... I consider guys like Tommy Jones, Sean Rash, Mike Wolfe to be what I call "power tweeners..." Real crankers are like Robert Smith or Rudy Revs... Rudy dominated when the equipment wasn't so supercharged

@Mikniks You hit it on the head,.. NO ONE goes around the ball anymore they back out of it like a full roller release and call it a cranker.. Get real the traditonal power roll which i do is obsolete because you cant get it down the lane. I have to drill balls to go long and cant use highly agressive equipment. Another reason why bowling is a joke. No one cranks the ball anymore because you cant get it down the lane and if they think they do they are only kidding themselves

@Mikniks

I agree to a point..

yes crankers are hard to find as the gear is alot better now but in saying that.. I am a cranker and I am a big guy with a lot of power and with that power I have great accuracy, I bowl quite fast with 570 revs.

but in saying all that, as everyone knows crankers either have a good night or a bad night of bowling.

@Dokken77 Agree 100% :D

@Mikniks The only reason now to really rev it up is to provide that safety net of pin action if you miss the pocket a little. That's what I've been doing.

[Mikniks]

The problem is that crankers are obsolete now. With the power bowling balls carry on their own these days, there's no reason to get in and rev it up like a maniac

[Polarcupcheck]

@Doza418 There are a lot of impressive bowlers out there. Two from South Florida were Jimmy Keeth and Jansen Ingle. Jansen was not really a big name player but made power look real easy. Neither had a high back swing and tore it up.

i used to be a cranker cause i like the way my ball looked when i went down the lane.... big mistake during some important youth tornaments.... now i bowl down-and-in

@IveGotYourChange

(cont.) Even though it allows for multiple angles, the flatness of the pattern reduces your margin for error for your break point drastically. PBA says that you only have about an inch of leeway for your breakpoint. No matter what angle you're playing, you have to make a perfect shot every time. Then you have to adjust to the carry down which becomes increasingly difficult as the oil gets pushed into difficult places.

The shark is tough, yes, but as long as you're not missing to the right, you're pretty much in good shape, and as the pattern breaks down, it becomes a little more forgiving. It's tough for the lower rev players because they run out of room to move inside when it breaks down, so they pretty much have to move outside and deadline it to the pocket. The US Open pattern is very difficult, and most consider it far more difficult than the shark because of how flat it is. (cont.)
