Anyone with a idea.. Im 72 years, used to bowl alot, bout 190 avg, been 6 years since I have bowled... I have a older Brunswick Zone 14 pds of which im throwing now. but cant seen to score with it, im a down n in bowler or used to be any.. med speed, stroker.  I need a ball for med to oily. needs to be 14pds since im not as strong as I used to be.  Pretty med, speed, sure not fast.
Any ideas on the Fired Up- Jolt- Diablo- Tropical teal,purple, pearl.  If so e-mail me please.

Sounds to me like you're looking for a compliment to your Zone, am I correct ? Is the ball hooking too late or too early ?  If the ball is hooking too late, you'd want to go with a Diablo or maybe a Horizon Solid or Saturn from Roto Grip (Storm's sister company) The duller surface will allow the ball to going into a roll and hooking earlier in order to give you more power at the pins.  If the ball rolling too early, it'll use up all it's energy and you wont have any left for the backend into the pins.  In this case you'd want to go with a shinier ball, like a Jolt or a Tropical Storm.  I wouldn't recommend a Fired Up becuase that's more of a Skid/Flip type of ball that doesn't really match your game really well if you're a down and in player.  If you don't mind using Roto Grip, you could also try a Mercury, Venus or Horizon.   Hopefully, I haven't overloaded you with information and this helps you make a better decision.

My best suggestion to you would be to go to your local pro shop and have the operator watch you throw a couple of shots, he/she will should be able to help you pick the right ball.  Best of luck

You maybe will have to go down to 13lb to get more speed. I would also recomend the Hot Rod Hybrid, I have one and atleast 2-3 other peoples have bought one after i did it.
