Question
Im left handed and throwing a 15 ebonite gyro. i bought two balls in the past total nv and columbia wrath. my problem is that once they break oil they hook way 2 much. ive notice that my ball track is between fingers and thumb.the pin on both balls is above my fingers is there way to move the pin so it would hook less. i just order the columbia freeze and wonder if u have any suggestion on drilling or pin placement. thanks

Answer
Chris,
Sounds like your track is a full roller. Changing what you own is easy. Have your driller layout the ball for a full roller track but with the idea that the pin is farther from your grip center if you want more length from the ball, closer to the center of grip if you want earlier ball reaction. The most over all hook would be full roller leverage. If your driller isn't sure what you need, please have them get in touch with me and I'd gladly help them out. Lane conditions, your ball speed and rev rate will dictate what would work best.

The Freeze is a much milder ball than the two you mentioned. After you adjust them (the Total NV is the stronger core, the Wrath somewhat less), you will have an idea what reaction you need. Layout the Freeze accordingly, keeping in mind the Freeze will react less.

Thanks for the questions. Good luck with your equipment.
