Question
i have problems getting my ball to hook and produce higher revs but when i use wrist guard its will get me a little bit more hook and higher revs but still couldn't get me the way i want the ball to hook. I have a Attitude shift with house shot layout.I could do it once awhile on my game that ball will slap really hard on the pocket, most of the time it just get too soft getting to the pocket need help!!

Answer
There could be two things going on here.  One is the Attitude Shift may be too much ball for the condition you are bowling on.  If it is not already polished, polish it.  That will get the ball to retain its energy better.  The other issue may be the orientation of the revs.  Try to create more side roll and that will also help the ball retain energy.

Good luck,
