Geocache Description:

Owner Tom has given permission for this cache on his private property.

Bowling Delivery Styles: Here is some useless information to quiz your group on as you "roll" to the cache. Personally, it cracked me up - but that's just me... There are three different types of styles used when releasing the bowling ball onto the lane. The three styles are the stroker, cranker and tweener styles. Stroker : People who use the stroker style usually keep their feet square to the foul line. Stroking lessens the ball's spin rate and therefore decreases its hook/curve potential and hitting power. Strokers use finesse and accuracy. Cranker: Crankers try to create as much spin as possible by using a cupped wrist. Bowlers that use the cranking method often cup their wrist, but open the wrist at the top of the swing. Crankers often use late timing, meaning the foot reaches the foul line before the ball does; this is called "plant and pull", hardly using any slide on their last step and pulling the ball upwards for leverage. Crankers rely on speed and power. Tweener: Tweeners are bowlers that release the ball in a way that falls somewhere in between stroking and cranking. Tweeners often release the ball with a higher backswing than is normally used by a stroker or a less powerful wrist position than a cranker.
