Actually, according to all the bowling magazines I read as a league secretary
and league president (I was one or the other for three or four consecutive
years), strikes are not based on power, they are based on moderation of power
mixed with accuracy (and a little luck).

If a ball is rolled with too much power, the lead pins are blown over the
back pins, instead of into them.  Most of the professional bowlers roll at
far below the maximum speed they could roll a ball.  You get too many splits
from throwing too hard.

The idea in bowling is to generate pin-action.  This means rolling the ball
slow enough to bounce the pins around, but fast enough to give them some 
momentum.
