Question
Hello. I'm trying to decide on a bowling ball for oily conditions.  There are so many products out here I'm not sure which one to purchase.  I already have the Regular and Raging Inferno and I love them both but neither give me the hook that I want on oily conditions.  Please advise.

Thanks.

Answer
Sheila,

It sounds like you're not getting a good grip out of the front half of the lane and then your ball is not recovering as well as you would like on the back end.  If you like Brunswick products, I would find a good particle ball for oily conditions.  They tend to get the most traction with their coverstocks.  A good example is at this link.  http://www.stormbowling.com/ball/ball.asp?ballid=182&ballname=FLASH+FLOOD%99

Hope this helps,

Mike
