Question
I throw a back up ball. I am on the left side of the approach and throw it down the left side of the lane. I am currently throwing a stinger 12lb. I am looking to purchase a 14# ball as I am throwing my ball too fast. My question is, is there a certain type of ball I should be looking at being I throw a back up ball? As of now I have 3 balls in mind. Those balls being; Storm Virtual Energy, Storm Hy-Road and Hammer Raw Hammer Burn.  Thank you

Answer
Any of the balls you mention will react much more than the Stinger you are using now.  Of the three, I would suggest the HyRoad.
The most imporant thing to tell your ball driller is the fact that you throw a back up ball.  This will tell him where to place the pin on your new ball.

Good luck,
Chip
