And the last but not the least bowling technique you have in the game menu is a cranker. It's a very powerful style that is used to generate a lot of revs on the ball, a lot of speed and a lot of hook. The crankers have rev rates over 370 rpm which allows them to throw powerful strikes even on not perfect hits. They actually maximize the striking potential with plenty of power, and the greatest entry angle.
Most of the power bowlers have a high back swing and open their shoulder to generate the high ball speed. Some crankers use a low backswing but have a cupped wrist in order to generate high revolutions. This is considered to be an 'old-fashioned' way of cranking though.
Crankers sometimes stand to the extreme opposite side of the approach (relative to their target), and roll the ball over the middle lane boards out toward the gutter, using high revolutions to hook the ball back toward the pocket. Depending on the bowling ball, lane condition and bowler, the ball may exhibit either a rounded hook pattern or a later, more severe hook pattern known as skid-snap.
All this speed and power also carries a much higher risk of splits, sometimes nasty wide and hard to convert splits. However, when things are working well, they can run up some high scores with a long string of strikes. It is a beautiful thing to watch any bowler deliver his style of shot and get strikes over and over again. Choose your shot style and blow the pins off the deck!
