A MATTER OF ST


Why labels like ‘crankers,’ ‘strokers’ and ‘tweeners’ may not matter anymore.


B


owling is loaded with colorful language. We love to talk about turkeys, hambones and six packs. We hate to see washouts, bed- posts and Christmas trees. In between, there’s plenty of chatter about pie, graveyards and sandbaggers. Bowlers even describe their styles in ways that would make most any newbie to the lanes scratch their heads. We have roll-


ers, spinners and two handers. But the most common descriptions have been around for decades, and most bowlers have heard themselves — or at least someone else in their league — described as one of them.
