Should I buy a hook ball? (Beginner)

Hey there, just wanna ask if i should get a hook ball? I'm gonna try hooking one later today, I'm quite passionate for bowling. I've been watching videos lately on the motion of the hand. Thanks

Should I get a shinier one (now sure how you call them) since they're easier for hooking and a reactive resin one?

One shpp charges 45US for drilling, is that a normal price? Doesn't look to be

[Jusxusfanatic]

Sounds okay.. Should I buy this?

Sorry if I'm annoying... But is a roto grip - wreck em good? My local pro shop has it

Assuming you are in average/good physical shape for your age, 8 or 9 pounds is way too light for a 15 year old. You might think it will be easier to learn, but it would probably do more harm than good. I'd look for something around the 12-14 pound mark.

Buying something in the beginner/entry level lines would be best.

I know of a similar jr Poster who may have a few 10lb T Zones spare.. But he is two handed..

 It is perfectly alright to ask questions. The more infirmation you have, the better choices you can make.

 I, too, would reccommend something more than the 8-9 lb ball. I know it us your first "good" ball, but if it is drilled correctly, you should be able to handle a 12-14 lb ball pretty easily. If you feel comfortable with a lighter weight, go with an 11-12 lb ball to start with.

 I also would not recommend you go with the Storm ball you linked to. That is a very low hook potential ball. I would go with something at least one step above that.

 The Rotogrip Wreckem is yes, a pretty good, pretty strong, reasonably priced ball  that would probably serve you well for quite some time.

Y
Thanks for your help guys! Im a skinny guy.. so yea haha. Should I buy a rito grip wreck em?

For strength of entry-level balls I don't think you could go wrong with a Roto Grip Hustle or 900 Global Boost. The Ebonite Cyclone is up there too. Any of of those would be my recommendation, although if you don't mind spending a little bit more a Wreck-Em isn't a bad idea.

I don't think anybody is really going to push you or say you should buy one particular ball though. That decision is all up to you.

[Jusxusfanatic]

True, thanks for your opinion. Gonna decide later today

Now, wrecker VS wreckem vs wreckit

[Jusxusfanatic]

Bump!

Now, wrecker VS wreckem vs wreckit

 Between those three, the wreck-it is the one that will, if left in its original condition, have more potential to create a hook.

 The reason is the way it is finished with a dull surface. The dull finish lets the ball handle more oil than the polished ones do.

 They all have the same core, the difference being in the outer cover.

 The Wreck line of balls has been around for a while now, and have been very good balls for the money. Not a bad choice at all, if you choose one.
