It's my first post here so I'd just like to say hi to everyone before i start.
For the last couple of years i've only been bowling once a week, and before that I had an absence from the sport for a couple of years aswell. I currently hold down a 190 average but i'm badly out of practice.
My problem is that my bowling balls are no longer able to cut it with today's latest releases, and i need to get some new equipment If i am to compete at a higher level again.
My mid range balls are fine, as is my spare ball, and all i'm really looking for is a couple of balls for heavy oil, one polished and one sanded.
I'm currently using an original Storm El Nino, and an AMF Nighthawk. Both balls are polished, and have standard label drilling. I have never really liked the Nighthawk, it has never seemed to suit my game no matter what the conditions were like, and i don't really want another ball with characteristics like it in my arsenal. My El Nino on the other hand has always been the ball I pull out of the bag first and has suited my game very well in the past. I bowl semi-roller, and get a fair amount of hook out of my shots, and i'd like something that has a huge hook potential, and similar characteristics to my El Nino. I'm not sure what other features of my game to write for now, so i'll leave it at this point with what i've already put.
I've never been a person to stick to just one manufacturer, so it doesn't have to be Storm ball to replace the El Nino, though if Storm make a ball which may be suited to my game then please suggest it.
If you need any more details about my game before you can supply advice then please just ask and i'll do my best to give you more details about the way i bowl.
Thanks for reading everyone and happy bowling.
