Title: Ball help for my Grandmother.
Post by: Loudstriker on February 28, 2005, 03:40:01 AM: My grandmother loves bowling and she is looking for a new
ball. She wants to hook the ball so what ball would be
good for a person who wants a little bit of hook and
that does not have a price limit? She throws the ball I
believe anywhere between 11-13mph. She recently had wrist
surgery so she does NOT want a ball she would have to
crank to hook. This ball should be mostly for medium oil
so she could use it often.
Thanks.

I know a person who thought bowling was like golf, the lower your score the better. They bowled a 43!

EDIT: Especially with that much speed.

Post by: Loudstriker on February 28, 2005, 11:43:36 AM: She wants the finger tips and would hook it slightly
by letting the ball roll of her hand. She does not know
how to hook it yet but she wants me to teach her.

Did not read the medium conditions

She's 60 years old.

Post by: TheBowlingKid25 on February 28, 2005, 11:50:11 AM: Thats not a bad idea! A nemesis would probably roll nice for lower revs on medium stuff. An intense would probably be ok to as long as you drilled it to roll up a little earlier, since she has low revs. (if you drill it to roll too late it may never be able to get in to its roll)

Post by: Charles on March 05, 2005, 11:19:03 AM: If she throws it that slow, I would recommend the "Classic" Zone. It is versatile for slower ball speeds and she can use it even when the lanes are lighter on oil. Classic for a Classic.

Does it matter how I strike?

the raging inferno is for heavy

these are all good sites:
www.lane1bowling.com
www.stormbowling.com
www.brunswickbowling.com
www.vertexmold.com
www.buddiesproshop.com

Even for normal bowlers, not really. Medium heavy perhaps, but in OOB condition it isn't an oiler. Afterall, it's a particle pearl. Also keep in mind that his grandma has low revs and so it won't hook much anyways.
