    This is a tricky question. What kind of lane conditions? More than a ball you need to look at ball layout and ball surface. This will determine you skid flip ratio or a smooth arc.

    Basically, from what I know and have seen, some people throw like a 505 C or a Virtual Gravity. Some even throw maybe a Black Widow. I've also seen a Radar Alert thrown. it really depends on how much hhok you can put on the ball

    if you have high ball speed and revs then you do not need an agressive coverstock.
    i would suggest a tropical heat , freeze, or one of the less agressive vibes.
    it really depends on your delivery

    Find an IPBSIA certified pro shop in your area to help answer your question. Is there a specific reason for the desire to change? Cranker style may look good when all is going good but looks awful and leads to low scores (and many splits) when things don't go right.

    Also suggest you find a USBC Certified Coach to assist with your transition from one style to another.
