Question
what ball would be good for a person that throws a full roller that will hook and what type of layout is good that will make the ball hook?

Answer
The layout will place the pin at the seven-thirty or eight o'clock position in relation to the center of the grip.  This will place the pin to the left and near the thumb hole.
I would suggest a pearl type of coverstock.  This will get the ball to change direction sharper and later down the lane.
I would look at balls such as the Storm T-Road pearl or the soon to be released Rapid Fire pearl.

Good luck,
Chip
