Question
I am a left handed bowler and my friend gave me his bowling ball with almost similar finger spans.I am just changing the thumb insert on the ball,and the drilling is slightly label drilled for a right handed bowler. Can i still have a hook on this ball?

Answer
Yes, you can still get hook out of this ball.  If it is a high performance ball it may roll over the holes for you.  Go ahead and try it as it may work fine.  I am right handed and have thrown balls with layouts that make them look like they are for lefthanders.

Good luck,
Chip
