Hi.  I am currently bowling in a high school bowling team, and my ball is becoming "unuseful" for me, and so I was told that if I were to post this question, I might have help.  I was wondering what kind of new ball I should get.  I bowl with a smooth approach, and I lay the ball down on the ground almost.  I put some curve into my ball, but not as much that could hit a seven pin while starting on the left side of the approach.  I was looking to see if anyone could help me in deciding which ball to buy to get me a little more hook.  I currently bowl with a 12 or 13 pound ball.  Please respond if you could help me.  Thank you.

any ball with a reactive cover and
a decent core, with holes in it somewhere
will be good for you. heck your a lefty, and
it does not matter what you throw.

If us righties had as good a shot as the lefties
there would be someone righthanded averaging
about 292.

MMMMMM, anyone else wanna rag on the new lefty...

Seriously, depending on your lane condition any ball
with specs to fit that lane condition should work. If you have a
prefered company, go ahead and start a riot and post your
preferences here and then you will see the replies start
flying in. I prefer Lane #1 to any other equipment out there.
It works for me and it may or may not work for you. Good
Medium balls in the Lane #1 line are just about any of them except the
Super Bomb, Black Cherry, and the XXXL.  The Emerald is
for the lighter side of the oil and the Golden Nugget is for the Heavier Mediums unless you have no hand at all, from what I have been told.

Saws are made to cut ANYTHING including 10 pins

If your release is as smooth as you say it is, and wihtout your release speed, and if you can go up to a 14 lb. ball. My suggestion would be original inferno by Brunswick. It is a great ball, smooth roll, goes long, and has one he11 of a hook at the back end.

Oh and just to pizz a couple of people off that hate this expression.

The ball hits like a mack truck!!!

You'll get to the lefty bashing. Those dam righties get so jealous they can't help but attack us.

You can always hit em hard when you've got the balls

Lefties are the only people in their right minds.
