Hi folks,
  I have once again started bowling, after a ten year layoff.  I Had to quit because of arm and elbow problems.  I am fine now but have not had the want or desire to "turn" the ball like I used to.  I want the ball to do the work now. I do put some "fingers" in the ball but I am trying my best to make it as forward a roll as possible.  The problem is, My "track" isn't as near the thumb as it was before. Is this caused by my release or the new style balls we are using now?  Also, I have tried a few different balls and the 3 piece balls seem to be very unforgiving if I turn my arm or wrist at all.  I am looking for a ball that gives a little and will work on different lane conditions.  I know that is asking alot, but as long as it don't go crazy at every little change in the lanes or me, I would be more than happy to buy it.  I am currently throwing an old TREMOR, it is a good ball but has seen much better days.  I don't know a thing about all this rg and cg and all this new tech, so please be simple with your answers.  (I aint the brightest bulb in the marquees, but I can and will learn.)    Thanks, Bruce

Thanks folks,
  Maybe I better clear up a few things though.  I don't dump the ball at the line, unless the conditions warrant that.  And yes by the third game where I am presently bowling league, they do.  What i meant to say is that although I do put some hand or fingers into the shot, I want to keep it as forward of a roll as possible.  Stay straight behind the ball, not off to the side any more than I have to.  The reason for this is two fold.  One, and most important, when I bowled ten years ago, I was shooting 7 leagues in 6 nights, it ruined my arm because I "cranked" the side out of everything.  I don't want that pain and loss of control that came with the changeing lane conditions.  I would like to have a nice gentle roll with a ball that "breaks" more gradual.  Second From what I have seen so far the newer eguipment are making the lanes change at a much faster rate.  I don't mind spending the money for a few different balls, but I am hoping to find a ball that I can at least have a chance of throwing well on the changing lane conditions.  I hope this helps.
  I have a good friend that does all my drilling and we have bowled together and against each other for along time.  He knew how I threw back then and he says he can't believe the difference in how I throw now.  Amazing what ten years can do to a body.  I have been lucky enough to maintain a 200 even average so far, but I think I can do a little better.  That is about 20 under what I used to throw and would like to see that again.  I will be very happy if I can find the consistency to hold where I am at, but I am one that always wants to do better. I hope that don't sound arrogant.  
  Thanks for all the diferent suggestions, I will talk to a few diffeernt proshops about them all.         Bruce
