Ok, so you knew it was a dumb question going in...well because you said so in the title.  I question why you went ahead and asked it knowing it was stupid.  Oh and for the record it is very stupid.  I have known several idiot posters on here and you are now at the head of the class, which is ironic since you need to spend time in a class.

Only your local proshop guy/gal could give you an honest response to your question.
Without seeing you bowl, the rest of us would be guessing, and for some, that is a stretch

Good for you Silas

That might be your problem right there.  I believe the Full Swing is meant for oil not for medium to dry.

The ball is probably burning up and losing all energy before it gets down the lane, thats why you're seeing it not hook...cause it has no energy left to do so with.

First thing you could try is either do it yourself or take it to the pro shop and have them polish it.  If that doesn't work, a redrill might be in order.

Everyone who has replied to this topic so far should all be ashamed of themselves. All the guy wants is some advice about a bowling ball and all you f**kers can do is blast the guy for his lack of writing skills. Is this not a BOWLING site? I know its not school, maybe some of you have forgot that. Maybe the guy has a learning disability, ever think about that? Do You people really  have nothing better to do than correct someones grammar on a bowling site? If so, you really need to get a life. I know the post is hard to read but geez, give the guy a break for gods sake.

royjak

Take your ball down to the guy who drilled it and ask him. He''''ll have a better idea on what to do.. Pay no attention to these jacka**es, most people on here are decent so don''''t let this one incident stray you from asking anymore questions.

Had to go back and make sure my spelling and grammar were ok before the grammar police showed up..

I'm with Dale here, your best bet is to go to your local pro shop and explain what's happening.  Have them watch you bowl a few shots and they'll have a better idea of how to help you.  Without seeing you bowl, it's hard to make any sort of worthwhile suggestion.  

That being said, I'm going to make an educated guess about what's going on.   I have a Full Swing in OOB finish drilled for length and when it wiggles, it usually due to the ball burning up too much energy in the front part of the lane. Moving left and finding more oil usually solves this problem for me.  If the lane conditions are true medium / dry, this is likely the case and if you want to use this ball in this center, you may want to consider polishing it so that it will store energy better.  What lane surface do you bowl on ??  

DISCLAIMER:  Keep in mind I'm basing this opinion solely on your description of ball speed, rev rate and lane conditions coupled with my experience with this ball and this is merely an educated guess.

Id say on lighter patterns and to get the reaction that u are looking for out of that very strong ball you might have you proshop clean the ball and throw a coat of polish on the ball, will probably wake the ball up a bit.
