[bigtgamer1]

Any help for a guy who just started throwing a fingertip ball? I can't get a nice accurate hook, I'm using an Ebonite Elevate 15lbs and I'm 19 any help would be appreciated :)

I have a Mission 2.0 and i bowl left handed. whats the best way for me to hook and keep it consistent?

[idontnoapassword]

hey, i currently have a Columbia freeze 3000 that has worked well for me. but recently i haven't been able to get the ball to hook. i believe it's because i've put more velocity on the ball or the ball is died. but would a better ball be best to help with the look of hook?

[bowlingballcom]

@idontnoapassword The Freeze is in the entry level reactive performance category. Moving up to a mid or high performance bowling ball will definitely give you more hook than the Freeze.

@bowlingballcom thank's that's what i thought any recommendations?

[bowlingballcom]

@idontnoapassword A nice step up would be the Storm Victory Road, Roto Grip Bandit, Brunswick Loaded Revolver, DV8 Reckless.

@bowlingballcom would the storm virtual gravity nano would be to much for me?

How much difference does it make using a public ball from the bowling alley itself and having your own?

[bowlingballcom]

@Branchfrog You wouldn't believe how much of a difference it makes. Having a ball that fits your hand is one of the two most important things along with having your own bowling shoes. Bowling is all about consistency and repetition. If you don't have the same ball with the correct fit each time, you're not going to improve.

@bowlingballcom

Must admit, when we go, we tend to use the exact same balls every time cause obviously the weight and the holes are the same. Also used the tip grip thing today and worked an absolute treat, hit a 175 on my second game with 6 strikes.
