Check with the proshop where you plan to bowl league.  A good proshop can watch you bowl and fit you up with a ball and drilling that fits your game and their oil pattern.

Have Balls - Will Travel

You don't bowl much and your a newer bowler yet want a hook machine?? Try something like the storm tropicals and get the basics down befroe you buy a 200+ buck ball.

Would be easier to suggest a ball if you stated some of your stats. Where you stand, mark you shoot for, speed, cranker, stroker or tweener. But Kegler has a good point of going to the pro-shop and asking them. By watching youbowl they can suggest a ball that would work well for how you bowl.

Inferno is a great ball, but if you are a casual bowler, do you want to spend that amount of money on a ball that you are going to use for roughly 30 weeks and then put it away for the summer.

I would look at a SCOUT REACTIVE. About $100.00 and it is a decent ball. My wife and kids threw one for years. But IMHO for a "NEW" bowler, that is where I would go. IF youw ant to step up after the end fo the season, it would be really easy to sell it or give it away to someone that needs a ball.

But if you feel that you need and Inferno, the by all means go ahwad and pick one up.

BOWLING IS FUN NO MATTER WHAT YOU SCORE. BUT A 300 IS ALWAYS NICE.

STRIKE ZONE & PYRO. STAND 18 AND THROW 10 OUT TO 5 AND SMASH THE POCKET. AT LEAST THAT IS THE PLAN OF THE NIGHT...

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD BOWLING!!!

i would go and get something like a tropical and use the other money to get some coaching to help solve your wrist issues..
if you're throwing 15 or 16 lbs, try dropping it a pound..it'll make a difference in your wrist.

i hope this helps..
