I recently started bowling again after being out for about 10 years, I upgraded from very old technology, an LT-48 to be specific, to a Hammer Switch Blade. When getting it drilled the guy at the pro shop said he's just going to use a standard drilling method since this is my only ball, he said "I'm not going to do anything exotic". I took his advice and now am running into a problem. I throw medium to medium high speed, with a decent amount of rev's. When I try to turn this ball and put a lot of fingers into it it doesn't move at all, I can see it rotating and flaring but it never makes a strong break for the pocket. If I slow way down, throw it pratically underhand with hardly any rev's and pratically set it on the lane it hooks much earlier and darts into the pocket. I'm having to play a down and in shot when I'd rather be playing a much deeper line with a lot more speed. Do you think it's possible to redrill this ball and get a strong backend with playing a deep line? Or do you think it would be a better idea to get a new ball, something with a little more hook, get it drilled agressively, and keep my switch blade for when the lanes are dry and for shooting 10 pins?
Right now I'm just getting frustrated because I'm having to change my speed, and set it down. I'd rather get my arm into it a lot more and throw the ball rather than let the ball do all the work.
Any advice would be appreciated.
