I am not really a newbie at bowling. I have been bowling for approx 12yrs. However, I am far from an expert. I do not know/understand a lot of the terminology and such. Anyways, I am looking to buy a new ball and not sure where to start really.
I do not really know any of the pro shop guys in my area (Raleigh, NC) and haven't heard the greatest things bout the guy at the pro shop in the house I bowl in. SO, I really don't know where to turn and could use some advise.
I have been told, I throw the ball rather fast. I could not begin to tell you revs and such. Right now, I stand approx center on back set of dots. I throw along the 2nd arrow. Right now, I would say i have very little to almost no hook. Now the ball I have presently is almost 8 yrs old and has never been resurfaced, so I'm sure this is why. When I first bought this hammer, it use to hook a lot for me.
I am not really looking to change my game/form. I would like to find a ball that would have good back end hook on it. From what research I have done and to the best of my ability of being able to "compare" my style to other posters, the below list are the balls I think may work best but would like some feedback!
Hammer Big Blue Perl
Hammer Vicious Reactive Pearl
Dyno-Thane The Thing Returns
Columbia Messanger Ti Pearl
Please provide some of your thoughts/recommendations and why. If there is any additional info I can provide. please let me know!
