Recomendations Please
« on: June 27, 2016, 08:28:51 AM »
Hello bowling family,
I am a new bowler and I need help with my Red legend Pearl.
The ball lost all of its performance(Hooking). I had it baked when needed and I just had it sanded to box finish. I need to know what I need to do to get the hook back. I am new and do not know anything about surfaces except out of box. I would like it to be very aggressive. Is there something else I need to have done to the ball (I just get it baked and sanded out of box)? This is my go to ball. It has about 900 games on it. Please Help Me. Thanks for all the advice in advance

If it has 900 games on it it's time to replace it that's a long life for a high performance bowling ball. I'm usually very happy if I can get 200-250 out of mine.

Damn 900gms. Thats alot if you are a new bowler. I dont bowl 900gms in 5yrs. Anyways, ball should be all tracked out and time for a new ball. How long have you had the ball?? They still sell that ball and others like it also. check out the hammer website.

900 doesn't sound far fetched to me.

Two leagues per week + a (probably conservative) estimate of 10 more games per week for practice sessions or tournaments gets you just about there in a year. Maybe I'm just an addict...

Hank you are soooo right. Been bowling for a year and some months. Trying to perfect this craft. Bowling is harder then it looks.

Have you asked your pro shop if they can get you a new one?  I work at Classic Products in Florida and we have sixteen 15s in stock.  What weight do you use?

We have SEVEN 14s in stock.  Why not get with your pro shop and have them order you a new one if you like that ball that much?

900 just seems like a lot to me. Since ive had kids the past 8yrs, i havent bowled nearly as much as i would like. Some things are more important now than bowling.
