All this is from a left-handed perspective. arrows from the left, not sure if thats how you count them though!
Right now I'm using a very hard Brunswick Zone ball. It suprisingly hooks more than usual though (I think). I can throw it straight between the 1st and 2nd arrows and hit the pocket, I can also stand to the far right and go over the 3rd arrow to hit the pocket when I don't use my thumb. It seems to break at a medium distance and come back to the right at a medium speed. This throw uses alot of spin though and doesn't hit very hard at all. Every once in a while I'll get some good hits, but usually the pins just fall over limply (talking about strikes of course)
I'm looking to buy a ball that can give me more speed in my throw while maintaining the hook I have on a thumbless throw. Something that breaks more sharply and gives a satisfying crunch when it hits too.
I've been looking at the Brunswick BVP Goliath so far mainly because its extremely cheap.
I bowl on medium or high oiled lanes. Again, being a beginner I don't know which. All I know is I get good oil streaks on my ball when it returns
Lastly, being a beginner looks matter alot
I want to differentiate my ball from everyone elses and get comments on the color scheme. Glossy or dull finish doesn't matter though since I read that affects your throw.
