Question: What type of bowling ball is best for a cranker?

Answer:

Crankers need high performance reactive resin balls with asymmetrical cores for strong flare and sharp backend snap. Aggressive solid or hybrid coverstocks work best to handle heavy oil. Popular choices include the Hammer Black Widow series, Ebonite The One Ovation, Storm Ion Max, and Motiv Jackal Ghost. Heavier weights (15 to 16 lbs) help maximize power.
