Which style is your favourite?


Another bowling technique you can play in our game is a tweener. It incorporates the cranking and stroking elements of other styles to create medium revolutions (normally between 300 and 370 rpm) applied to the bowling ball with a mild axis tilt.

When releasing, the fingers apply a slight rotating action from behind the ball the equivalent of about two or three inches toward the side of the ball.

This modified delivery could use a higher backswing than is normally employed by a pure stroker or a less powerful wrist position than a pure cranker. It produces medium to high overall ball speed with a smaller, more gradual hook. Tweeners tend to be more versatile and can adjust wrist position or speed for varying lane conditions, but are not always consistent. Some have the power from a high back swing, but maybe less revs. Others have the lower back swing, and more revs.

If you are not a 100% stroker or a 100% cranker, but mix characteristics of both to form your own attack plan, bowl tweener!

Along with our fav two-handed delivery technique, you can bowl 3 basic styles in our game - stroker, tweener and cranker. The biggest differences are how many revolutions the ball makes, how fast or slow it travels, and the amount of hook used to get to the pocket. Let's talk about stroker today!

Stroking is considered to be the most classic of all the bowling forms and is still the most popular style of bowling in the PBA. It's a little bit straighter style with the ball going down the lane little further before it goes into its hook and roll.

It creates fewer revolutions (typically around 300 rpm) and a small axis tilt generated at the moment of release by means of the thumb exiting the ball followed soon after by fingers. Stroker bowlers square their shoulders to the alley and have a moderate back swing producing medium ball speed with a smooth releasing action. They use a relatively straight wrist position, with or without a wrist support device, or perhaps a slightly tilted-back wrist position.

All in all, strokers don’t rely on a big hook, or speed and power, but more on finesse and accuracy to blast the pins off the deck. If you wanna have more repeatable and accurate shots, stroking is a style to go with.
