hey all just had a few questions and was hoping for some advice...
1. Ball selection - left handed, about 5'11" and 175lbs. usually use a 13lb house ball and want to learn how to hook (right now i'm using the no thumb method, but want to learn the correct way). People are saying balls are not as heavy if they fit right so i'm guessing maybe a 14lb with the fingertip drilling right?? Also, as far as oil goes i have no idea how heavy or not the lanes are at the place i go to...should i just look at balls for 'medium' oil?? Can you guys throw me a list of entry level balls to look into?? I've seen the Power Groove, Tropical Storm, and some Roto Grip balls mentioned...anything else??
Also, where would my thumb hole be drilled?? are there different placements for different techniques??
2. Once I get the ball taken care of, how can I learn the correct way to hook?? Spend some money on a coaching lesson? or a few coaching lessons? a video? don't want to spend TOO much money on lessons and that sorta thing...but if it's the best way...what other options might i have??
3. Can anyone recommend a good shop and/or coach in san diego, CA??
