picking a ball

[beginner_bowler]

I am currently using a Columbia Scout I feel I am ready to move up to a slightly more reactive ball any recommendations?

[Marc822]

if you wanna stick with columbia, try a wrath dead flush.  great ball for the money and you'll be able to use it for a long time

I am not loyal to the Columbia Brand that is what the Guy at the pro shop recommended to me and that what I went with so any ball a little higher than the Scout

[Marc822]

yeah anything higher then the scout.  i know you said your not loyal to columbia, but another ball is the jazz.  it has tremndous hook potential for the price

I would say try the ebonite bash , tropical strom , any of the hammer vibes. For you to make an easy switch just make sure its a small step up not big step.

Brunswick Avalanche solid or Storm Street Rod solid.

The Storm Street Rod's are a great step up, the Raw Hammer line, there are numerous options out there, i'd talk to the pro shop guy and depending on the conditions decide on a Solid reactive vs a Pearl reactive and such.
