StormBowling Ball

This thing is insane. This is my first non-house ball I've bowled. I've played a hook on house balls for 25 years (2 fingers - one hand). I used to be a very casual bowler, but decent. I just got this ball about 3 months ago when I joined a league and started playing more regularly - breaking 200 now.The hook is out of this world. To be honest, I have a hard time getting it down-lane before it hooks. I've had to modify my wrist rotation on release to try and improve the balls down-lane release. Coming from a house ball, it's required some modifications. I'm slowly starting to get used to it.However, I'm not entirely convinced that I wouldn't be better served by a ball with less hook. I think it'd provide more consistency. The hook, being as pronounced as it is, makes every bowl that's less than perfect, far more pronounced. That's not necessarily a bad thing I guess. You have a lot of influence over this ball. It's just harder to get dialed in, as a result. For me, the challenge is getting the release down-lane. It's either hooking like mad, or releasing far too early. When it releases just right though, it's an absolutely BEAST.

This ball works perfect for the oil conditions of my local lanes. I'm just getting back into bowling with league on Thursdays and this is everything I was looking for in a ball

This ball is a tank. Hooks a ton and is very sharp down lane.
