I currently have a Storm Big Hit Pearl and Storm Barbed Wire that are both drilled negative.  I have a lot of hand and the lanes are fairly dry.  I am right-handed and the pin is above and to the left of my middle finger.

The pearl hooks more than the Barbed Wire which I though was a bit odd, but apparently the Hit series hook more than advertised.

I can get the ball down the lane with minimal snap, but I have times where the ball hits like a nerf ball.  Does having a negative drill pattern take away from the hitting power?  Would I get a more even reaction if I just label drilled them?

I am looking for a new ball that I can use on medium to medium/dry lanes.  I would appreciate any recommendations on equipment and layouts.

Thanks

Bill
