@idontnoapassword On bowlingball (dot) com you can narrow results by performance. Look at the entry level performance balls, they don't hook too much so they are very forgiving for someone just learning to hook the balls. On a side note, my coach was around 70 too, but he still bowls in a traveling league because he enjoys the varying conditions.

@gamemeister27 ya my grandma hooked me up with a guy is about 70 now and no longer bowls anymore because of a knee injury. he says he could only throw down about 210 and that not worth bowling for. He has taught me how to bowl straight and i just learned the 4 step approach i did a modified versoin of the 3 step to look like a 4 step. i'm currently trying to learn how to hook a ball. u got any suggestions on what type of ball i should get. prob gunna go stroker or tweener

@idontnoapassword I just got through 3 sessions with a coach as I am just getting re interested and I wanted to find the flaws in my physical game. Thankfully, they were mainly minor adjustments as my timing on the approach is pretty good. I just have to work on push with my right foot on the fourth step as I slide, and releasing the ball a little later so it doesn't bounce after dropping straight down.

@gamemeister27 ya i don't bowl alot of strikes and leave 2-3 frames open. i originally hooked a ball with no tumb until i got a teacher who is teaching me how to bowl straight then learn to hook it after that.i have a ball but it doesn't hook. thanks for the advice

@idontnoapassword In a youth league, pretty great actually. 170 is very good for your age, especially considering the lack of hook. You should try getting a hook ball and some lessons, you could really boost your average, it already sounds like your accuracy is up there.

hey i don't hook a ball but i avg. a 170. how well would i do in a league. im also 15.

@xuan8839 I like the change. I play this way. Less hook. I think it's easier to control for me anyway.

@JMIK123 ball revs come from finger lift...enough said.

@JMIK123 if his release is so bad then how come he has won the most titles on tour?

@Banditz2007 He often plays around 5 board on all the patterns except the shark, then he's usually in about 10 and hooking the ball more. Many of your top pros who are consistent winners have more than one release and axis tilt. Watch PDW for example. He throws an 45 degree tilt on the Viper and a 90 degree tilt on the Shark as an example. I'd say chances are he was on a shorter pattern for this video. Pin was drilled to the outside or ring finger so it went longer
