While it is inexpensive, it is a pearlized ball that can be drilled several ways, many of which are flippy. It isn't overly wild by today's standards, but its ball reaction can be drilling specific. As a pearl, and for you, based on what you have said (If you told the driller the same things), it should have been drilled in a controlled manner. But then I don't know the specifics of your release. The driller should have watched you bowl and proceeded from there. I might have been inclined to suggest a controlled solid rather than a pearl, given your newness to today's game.

"None are so blind as those who will not see."

I just went through this with my grandfather
He has been bowling since he was 20 hes now in his 70's
he used to own a bowling center for a number of years also

for the last 12 years maybe even more he's been using a 16lb original purple beast, drilled for a full roller (kind of how he throws but his track is not straight over the center)

and had great success with it
his back has been hurting him so I suggested he drop down to 14lbs (15lbs was still too heavy we tried it on something that was a close fit for him)
so he went to his normal shop guy (instead of where I go and drill my own stuff)
and they sold him an older silver streak SE that was NIB, and said it was tame by todays standards,
so he bought it and could not control it,
I looked at the layout and it was a semi strong layout with length and backend movement (which is exactly what he did not want, and that ball has a lot of to begin with)

so I re drilled it for him a full roller setup drill it was still to flippy on the backend
he struggled with this ball for over a year
so earlier this year I found him a NIB Neptune in 14lbs and drilled it for him with a full roller layout and he absolutely loves it
he feels better than he has in the last 5 years or so and is bowling better than he has in about 3 years

if your coming back to the game after a lot of time off and learned to bowl a when rubber was popular
2 things to keep in mind,
the equipment no matter what is still super super strong from any standpoint, the Freeze might be a good low performance ball but its still a strong ball and stronger is not always better

and you have to get used to playing an inside out shot now
its really tough to play straight down and in on todays conditions with todays equipment

after I worked with him a little on playing a slight swing his game is back to where he is happy with it
and Im happy for him that we found something that worked for him
the silver streak is still too much ball for him even playing the swing shot

so just something to keep in mind
maybe try to open up your stance and your line and play the lanes a bit inside to outside and see what it does for you
if not good and the ball is still too much, then you might have to look for something that is very very weak by todays standards

I have a couple older bowlers who have found that even with a mild drill on their ball it was too flippy. Depending on the bowler knocking the polish off was a big help and on a couple we took them to 2k
