Will sanding my zone create more hook?
« on: March 12, 2007, 07:27:25 AM »
I clean my ball every month, because i bowl on a league every two weeks. my ball seems to hook less and less. Same response with my Rhino Pro. any suggestions?

Which Zone?  There are only about 90 of them to choose from.  Throwing in the Rhino Pro, I'd guess an old one.  If it's 10 years old, you may have to accept that you've gotten your money's worth out of it.

The Target Zone is a plastic ball, not designed for hook.  But if you sand it, say to 400 grit, you can get a little more out of it than unsanded.  If you want a ball that is intended to hook, move to reactive resin.  --  JohnP

Power Groove would be a great start in balls for a beginning hook player. I just want to say this..... The bigger the hook does not always mean greater the scores. I used to be one of those huge hooking bowlers until last summer when I bowled in 2 PBA Experience leauges, not until then did I learn that straighter was greater most of the time.
