I have my time zone drilled for mid lane max hook so it will work on a variety of lane conditions. I have been throwing a fingertip ball for about 8 years now and average around 195 to 205 depending on the league and shot. I ordered a 15 lb time zone and got it drilled but i am somewhat disapointed. I leave my bowling balls with the factory finish on them but this one doesn't seem to want to have a massive hook on it. I have been using 16 lbs before this ball and i might be just over throwing it but i i can only seem to get it to move going across between the 2nd and 3rd arrows from the right, out to about the 2 board and then back in the pocket. is this as much hook as i can get w/ this ball or am i just overthrowing it. I hits the pocket will and always is around the head pin. It finds a way to strike but if i over throw it i leave a lot of splits.

I am starting to think i need to just use this ball after the first game is over because the oil will have carried down more by then. I think this is a perfect ball for medium and dryer conditions but on oily lanes it seems skids through the breakpoint and and comes in to light. Maybe i am just over throwing it. check this out for my first game w/ this ball on a fresh oil lane. I started out w/ 6 strikes, then 4 splits, and the a strike and a 7 and 2. i just can't figure it out, i did something similiar to that. The splits it leaves aren't easy either. I left stuff like the 8-10, big 4, and 4-7-10. I just don't understand it.
