Question
Have been bowling for two years, Iuse both a stingray urethane and a the beast polished pearl ball. my question is, if i throw a ball with pratically no hook, which ball would react and be more accurate on highly oiled wood lanes please help with any sugestions thanks

Answer
Joe,
The surface doesn't help with accuracy.

The dull Stingray, especially if it has a fresh surface should manage more oil better.

Your skills will dictate most of the reaction.

The shiny ball would retain a lot of energy, and might be a little touchy on an oily wood surface.

Thanks for the question. Good luck and good bowling.
