I just finished my first year of league play with a 153 avg.    I played the first 2 months of the year throwing a straight ball then went to a Columbia Black Scout and started throwing a hook.  My highs were a 236, 606 series.

I practice 8-12 games per week.  I'm trying to learn oil conditions, positioning , etc.  Sometimes, I can start with right foot one or two arrows to the left of center, throw to the second arrow from right gutter and hook in to the pocket perfectly.  Other times, the ball will go dead straight.

If I adjust and move to the right of center and throw for the second arrow, same results.

I would like a ball with more consistent hook potential.  

Summer doubles starts next week and I'd like to really work on bringing up the avg. and work on control in varying lane conditions.

Any tips on balls, or reading lane conditions would be really, really appreciated.  Thanks!
